Johnson will draw the start in Friday's tilt with the Pacers.

Analysis:

Unsurprisingly, the Raptors have opted to rest a few of their starters on the back end of a double-header. Kyle Lowry, DeMar Derozan, and Luis Scola will sit this one out. Johnson will replace Derozan at shooting guard, and could be an intriguing DFS play due to his expected heavily increased workload. Expect Derozan to return Sunday against the Knicks, which will result in Johnson returning to his usual role with the squad.
