Amir Johnson: Likely to join starting five Tuesday

Johnson struggled during the first round of the the playoffs, eventually being
benched for the second half of the series in favor of Gerald Green. However, if
Markieff Morris (ankle) of the Wizards is cleared to play, coach Brad Stevens is
expected to go back to a bigger lineup that features Jae Crowder and Johnson at
the two forward spots. That should send Green back to the bench in the
corresponding move and could mean decreased minutes for him. Johnson has seen
action in just one of the team’s last three contests, so he’ll see a much bigger
role, although he likely won’t be an appealing DFS option despite the promotion.
