Johnson racked up 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to New York.
With the Nets pivoting to a rebuild early on this season, Johnson became a key rotation player down the stretch. He made 79 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 38.9 percent from the field and 77.0 percent from the line. On a per-game basis, Johnson finished outside the top 200 in nine-category formats, however.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Ruled out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Johnson is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to rest purposes, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
The Nets are resting one of their few standout performers in the second half of the season, though to be fair, Johnson has endured quite a lot of minutes recently. Johnson should be able to return to action when the Nets take on the Hawks on Thursday. In his absence, Jalen Wilson, Dariq Whitehead, Tyson Etienne and even Tyrese Martin could be in line to see more minutes in the backcourt.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Pours in 24 points
Rotowire
Johnson supplied 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 113-109 victory over the Mavericks.
For the third time this season, Johnson reached 24 points as he led the Nets in scoring Monday. This was a step in the right direction for Johnson, as his production has been pretty sporadic in recent games. Over his last eight appearances, Johnson posted averages of 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.1 three-pointers.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Decent stat line in win
Rotowire
Johnson logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-112 victory over the Wizards.
Johnson started for the ninth game in a row, and he should be one of the young players who gets more minutes in the Brooklyn lineup as the regular season winds down. He's scored in double digits in six of those nine starts while also posting solid numbers in peripheral categories. Even though it's hard to rely on the Nets players from a fantasy perspective, Johnson should be one of the more consistent options as long as he stays in a starting role.

This was Johnson's ninth game with at least 20 points this season -- eight of them have come since the beginning of January.

Rotowire
Johnson finished Saturday's 115-113 loss to the Celtics with 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes.
Johnson registered his eighth game of the season with at least 20 points Saturday. With Cam Thomas (hamstring) sidelined for the rest of 2024-25, Johnson has a clear pathway to a stable starting role moving ahead. Over his last 15 appearances in the first unit, Johnson has averaged 12.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Moving to bench
Rotowire
Johnson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Bulls, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Johnson averaged 8.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in his last four games as a starter, but he'll shift to a bench role Thursday with D'Angelo Russell back from injury. Johnson should remain rooted in the rotation despite the role change and will presumably still log north of 20 minutes.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Coming off bench Friday
Rotowire
Johnson is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Johnson has started in 36 of the Nets' last 37 games, but he will cede his spot in the starting five to the returning Cam Thomas (hamstring). Johnson has averaged 13.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.9 steals over 28.7 minutes per game since the beginning of February.
Johnson accumulated 16 points (8-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 110-97 loss to the Cavaliers.
Johnson posted a solid stat line overall, but his shooting woes were noticeable since he finished with 19 shots taken. He snapped a stretch of three games in which he didn't reach the 15-point mark, but the lack of efficiency could start being a problem for fantasy managers, especially ones who have Johnson rostered on category-based leagues. He's making just 37.9 percent of his shots and 26.2 percent of his threes since the beginning of February.

Johnson led the Nets with 22 points, the third time in the past six games he has tallied at least 20 points. Brooklyn has now won three straight games, including back-to-back wins against the Rockets.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Scores 20 points Tuesday
Rotowire
Johnson posted 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 win over the Trail Blazers.
Johnson has reached the 20-point mark just three times all season, so the fact that he's done it twice over the Nets' last three outings is encouraging. The former Tennessee standout has been better than expected since moving to a starting role in December. He made his first start of the campaign Dec. 2 and hasn't looked back, averaging 11.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game as a starter (19 games).

Johnson chipped in 22 points (8-21 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 124-105 loss to the Nuggets.
The Nets were outplayed and overworked Friday evening, but Johnson did his best to keep the team above water. Numerous injuries have thrust Johnson into an expanded role, and Friday's result marked his second-highest scoring total of the season. The Tennessee product will continue to be a key part of the offense while the Nets limp through the schedule.

Johnson posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 113-99 loss to the Pacers.
With the Nets dealing with several injuries and unloading some veterans via trade recently, Johnson has become a popular pickup in fantasy basketball. Over his last eight appearances, he's been very productive with averages of 14.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes per contest.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Tallies 17 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Johnson racked up 17 points (6-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to Toronto.
Johnson scored double digits for the fifth straight game, continuing his recent bump in form. He has recorded at least one steal in all five games, logging at least 29 minutes in four. Although the return of Cam Thomas (injury management) will impact Johnson's opportunities, he should remain a key piece in the rotation given the Nets are simply trying to get a look at what their young core can deliver on a nightly basis.
