Heat's Tyler Johnson: Scores 17 off bench Tuesday

Johnson scored 17 points (7-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding six rebounds, five steals and four assists in 29 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 112-97 win over the Suns.

Analysis:

He's scored in double digits in five of the last six games as Johnson continues to enjoy something of a breakout season, averaging 13.7 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 boards, 1.3 steals and 0.8 three-pointers over that stretch. The 24-year-old is still only an asset in deeper fantasy leagues due to his limited role, but in real life he's been a valuable part of a strong Miami second unit that has helped push the club into seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
