Heat's James Johnson (hernia) may miss start of regular season
Miami Heat forward James Johnson may miss some regular season games while recovering from hernia surgery.
What It Means:
This could mean that Kelly Olynyk gets slotted into the starting five to start the season. Oddly enough, Olynyk averaged 0.2 more FanDuel points per game as a bench player, despite playing 5.5 fewer minutes per game than he did as a starter.
Our early projections have Johnson as the 105th-ranked fantasy player in the 2018-19 season.
