A scary fade on Jalen Johnson who is playing on a depleted Hawks squad on Tuesday. Atlanta has ruled out all of Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, De'Andre Hunter, Seth Lundy, Cody Zeller, Kobe Bufkin, and Vit Krejci. My early projections have Johnson at a 35.93 PRA over 36 minutes. With only 10 projected players, Johnson could get 36 minutes even if this game is a blowout. The matchup is a tough one as Boston ranks 6th in defensive efficiency this season. Boston is listing both Jayson Tatum and Al Horford as questionable, so there's a chance they rest one or both of them. As of Monday night, Boston is a 15.5-point home favorite. You could wait to get the Tatum/Horford news before locking anything in with Johnson, as having them ruled out would make this an easier matchup for Johnson and could move his PRA number up. At the same time, I've already seen this number move down from 40.5 to 39.5 on Sleeper, which makes me think we could see something similar on Underdog and PrizePicks soon. Again, it's a scary fade as Johnson is already averaging 35 PRA this season and will now have all the usage he wants in this offense. But with so many injuries, it's also fair to wonder how efficient this offense will be against the defending champs and how many of his assists he'll be able to convert. I grabbed U40.5 PRA earlier on Sleeper so will log it there even though it moved down to 39.5, but also playing more at under 40.5 on Underdog where it’s still available.
