Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Amir Johnson scored 16 points (5-of-7 field goals, 5-of-5 free throws) with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 3-pointers, 1 steal, and 1 turnover in 24.5 minutes of Sunday's 131-124 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Johnson made a surprise start when Joel Embiid (back, rest) was a late scratch, and he wound up scoring a season-high. It was Johnson's first double-digit scoring effort since November 1 and just his third of the year. He'll likely return to a reserve role on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Johnson scored 30.0 FanDuel points on Sunday, almost double his average of 16.4 FanDuel points per game this season.
