Celtics' Amir Johnson: To come off the bench Monday

Johnson will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Rockets, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.

Analysis:

Coach Brad Stevens made a late decision to go with Jonas Jerebko as his starting power forward Monday, meaning Johnson will be relegated to a bench role. Johnson is averaging just over 20 minutes per game this season, but could see a slight decrease now that he's working with the second unit. It remains to be seen whether this is just a one-game experiment or if it's an arrangement that will last for some time.
