Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Bounces back Thursday
Cameron Johnson finished Thursday's 136-105 win over Sacramento with 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes.Johnson stepped up in a game where Jamal Murray struggled, and the veteran forward has now scored at least 15 points in six of his last nine appearances. His shooting splits are also favorable. Over that nine-game stretch, Johnson is scoring 15.6 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor and 46.3 percent from three-point range. Johnson's overall season numbers might not be encouraging, but it's clear he's left his early-season shooting woes in the past.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Struggles in victory
Cameron Johnson ended with nine points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 win over the Pacers.Johnson failed to hit any great heights, scoring single digits for the first time in his past six games. After a slow start to the season, Johnson has been playing better of late, thanks largely to the fact that both Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) are sidelined. Although his ceiling is somewhat limited, Johnson remains a must-roster player, at least until the Denver Nuggets are fully healthy.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Regresses in win
Cameron Johnson accumulated nine points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over the Rockets.Johnson scored single digits for the third time in his past five appearances, continuing what has been a frustrating season. However, he has played at least 32 minutes in three straight games, an encouraging sign despite the inconsistent production. With Aaron Gordon now likely to miss time due to a hamstring injury, managers should be holding Johnson, at least for another week.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Hits for season-high 19 in return
Cameron Johnson totaled 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 130-127 loss to the Bulls.After sitting out the Denver Nuggets' prior game Saturday due to bicep soreness, Johnson looked 100 percent healthy in his return as he set new season highs in points and made threes. The 29-year-old wing is struggling to find his groove in a new offense to begin his first season in Denver, scoring in double digits only four times in his first 12 games while shooting what would be a career-worst 38.9 percent from the floor and 28.9 percent from three-point range. Monday's performance could be a sign that he's starting to get comfortable in his new environment.
