Johnson is expected to start Saturday's game versus the Heat, David Locke of the Jazz's official site reports.

Analysis:

With Rodney Hood (ankle) joining Alec Burks (ankle) and Dante Exum (knee) on the sideline, the Jazz have been reduced to Gordon Hayward, Trey Burke, Joe Ingles, and Chris Johnson on the wing. Burke and Ingles are ideally reserves, leaving Johnson as the most viable option to keep the typical rotations intact. In four games since the calendar flipped to 2016, Johnson has averaged six points (on 47 percent shooting), 1.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 three-pointer in 16 minutes.
