Jalen Johnson recorded 27 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, no blocks, no threes and five turnovers on 11-of-26 shooting and 5-of-6 from the line in 40 minutes as a starter on Friday, November 13, when Atlanta fell to Chicago 125-117.

The triple-double is impressive, and Johnson averaged 41.8 fantasy points over his previous 9 games and remains a top-20 fantasy asset in both nine-category and points formats. He projects for 45 fantasy points a game and ranks 17th overall with a 2.98 nine-category value. His 25.1 per cent usage and 54.1 per cent true shooting anchor his production across the board.

Jalen Johnson

Johnson has been a starter in every game this season, averaging 20.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists across 10 contests (including this one) while logging 34.3 minutes a night. Over his previous 9 games before Friday he posted 19.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.0 steal, 0.6 blocks and 0.9 threes in 33.6 minutes, shooting 44.9 per cent from the floor and 82.0 per cent from the stripe with 3.2 turnovers.

The Hawks have one game left this week, a Friday contest, with no back-to-backs remaining. Atlanta has no games next week, so Johnson's schedule thins out after Friday. The 40 minutes reflect the close scoreline and his workload remains heavy when his club is competitive. He is a hold across all formats given his established role and multi-category contributions.

What to do

• Keep Johnson rostered in all formats as a top-20 asset with contributions in points, rebounds and assists.

• Start him on Friday when Atlanta plays its final game of the week.

• Plan around Atlanta's zero-game schedule next week when setting lineups beyond this Friday.
