Johnson (knee) is expected to start in Thursday's preseason tilt against the Golden State Warriors after fully participating in Wednesday's practice, InsideSoCal.com reports.

Analysis:

With Nick Young (thumb) and Xavier Henry (back) still sidelined, Johnson will be the Lakers' go-to-guy at small forward. He was one of only two player, Paul Millsap being the other, to average at least 1.0 three-pointers, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks last season, and should be a nice low end source of stats in fantasy leagues this season.
