Heat's James Johnson: Good to go Wednesday vs. Hornets

Johnson (elbow) will play in Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Johnson missed Monday's game against the Cavaliers with an elbow injury, but he was able to take part in Wednesday's morning shootaround and has now been cleared to play after going through warmups without any lingering issues. He'll likely come off the bench behind Luke Babbit (back) at power forward, but Johnson has seen the bulk of the minutes in recent games and is the more intriguing fantasy option as long as the Heat don't opt to limit him in his first game back. For that reason, Johnson could be a risky DFS play on Wednesday.
