Celtics' Amir Johnson: Plays well in spot start Sunday vs. Suns

Johnson finished with 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 109-106 loss to the Suns.

Analysis:

With Al Horford (elbow) out, Amir Johnson was asked to assume his role, and came up big on both sides of the ball. The 29-year-old big man is only averaging 6.4 points and 4.6 rebounds across 19.6 minutes per game, but has stepped up when called upon to play extra minutes. While he's likely only valuable in deep year-long fantasy leagues, he's a strong play in DFS whenever he's in for additional workload.
