Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Nets season-high 23 points in win
Rotowire
Johnson registered 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 victory over the Grizzlies.
This was a nice bounce-back performance for Johnson, who was held to just eight points on 2-for-6 shooting his last time out. He came through with some big plays down the stretch to help keep the Nuggets on top in the win, and he finished the game without committing a single turnover. He'll look to keep the party going in New Orleans on Saturday.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Struggles offensively in loss
Rotowire
Johnson registered eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, an assist and two steals across 31 minutes in Monday's 110-100 loss to the Rockets.
Johnson had a quiet offensive outing, taking just six shots despite playing 31 minutes. His two steals added some defensive value, but his limited scoring and rebounding significantly reduced his fantasy impact. Johnson's perimeter shooting remains his primary fantasy asset, although his relatively narrow statistical profile makes him vulnerable to inconsistent shot volume. He's having a down year and has scored 12 or fewer points in five of his six appearances to date.

Rotowire
Johnson ended Saturday's 114-102 victory over the Pacers with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes.
The veteran wing turned in an efficient performance en route to a season-high scoring total, and he finished as Denver's second-leading scorer behind Nikola Jokic. Johnson has scored in double figures in three of his last four appearances, averaging 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 31.8 minutes per game over that stretch.

Rotowire
Johnson (lower body injury management) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Johnson has already missed three games. However, it doesn't appear he will be sidelined Wednesday versus the Raptors. The 30-year-old veteran hasn't played well throughout the 2026-27 campaign, averaging a career-low 8.0 points along with 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 26.3 minutes per contest in three regular-season appearances.

Rotowire
Johnson accumulated 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 127-120 victory over the Suns.
Johnson battled through a tough shooting night, going two-of-eight from deep, but came one rebound shy of a double-double. With Julian Srawther out until at least Thanksgiving, Johnson is the frontrunner to hold down a starting role at the wing.

Rotowire
Head coach David Aldeman said that Johnson is "day-to-day" due to his sprained right ankle, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Johnson won't play Saturday against the Pelicans, but it sounds like the ankle sprain he's dealing with his relatively minor. For now, Johnson should be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Warriors.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Drains four treys in preseason win
Rotowire
Johnson delivered 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and an assist in 25 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Bulls.
The veteran forward was locked in from downtown as the Nuggets' starting five all played at least 23 minutes in preparation for Opening Night. Johnson has never suited up for more than 66 regular-season games in a campaign as injuries have plagued him since being the 11th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, but he's been a valuable secondary scorer when healthy, averaging at least 12.2 points and 2.0 threes and shooting 39.0 percent or better from beyond the arc in each of the last five seasons.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Puts up 10 points in victory
Rotowire
Johnson tallied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), a rebound and an assist across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 117-106 win over the Jazz.
Johnson is firmly entrenched as a starter for the Nuggets at the start of the season, despite the addition of veteran DeMar DeRozan, who will compete for time at Johnson's position. Staying on the court has been a consistent problem for Johnson, who has averaged just 56.3 games per season over the past three campaigns, and the organization hopes he can exceed his career-high watermark of 57 games.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Drops season-high 27 points in loss
Rotowire
Johnson notched 27 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-9 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 39 minutes during Thursday's 110-98 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Johnson did everything he could to get Denver over the line, scoring a season-high 27 points, including five triples. While it ultimately wasn't enough, it does remind fantasy managers just what he can do on the basketball court. Strong performance aside, Johnson's season as a whole was serviceable, at best. In 60 appearances (including playoffs), he averaged 12.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Tamped down in defeat
Rotowire
Johnson logged nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 112-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Johnson's production has slowed in the first round, averaging only 10.0 points, 1.5 assists, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.8 steals over four games against the Timberwolves. Although Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are propping up the team with stellar production, the two superstars need more help from the supporting cast. Right now, Johnson isn't holding up his end of the bargain. The Nuggets will face elimination Monday night, and the pressure will be on Johnson, Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon to deliver better results.
