Mavs 104, Hornets 93

To be fair. Who else should he guard? Middleton, Giannis, Brook Lopez? Without DFS, Maxi and Richardson the Mavs really don´t have any other options.
I guess they could try to hide him on DiVincenzo.
I expect a lot of different matchups against the Bucks. Maybe RC will suprise us with a different starting five. Someone has to guard Giannis and I think Johnson is the best option.
The Bucks really improved the shooting around Giannis. Except for Giannis the worst shooter this season is Brook Lopez (36.1% from 3). Holiday and Augustin are shooting 39% from 3. Rest of the team 40% +.
For comparisation. The Mavs have four players that are shooting 40% + from 3 (Maxi, Burke, THJ, KP). The rest of the team is shooting less than 33%.

Yes, I am also very interested in the chess match with the Bucks, especially with all the absences. 

The statistics are quite interesting, and thanks for looking them up. Having said that, it's still too small a sample size to draw any firm conclusions. (Don't understand you to be saying otherwise.)

MIL will be a formidable opponent. Maybe too formidable, at least on paper. But these are crazy times. I guess I would say that, in these degenerate days, before any given game, both teams should harbor hope in their hearts and fear in their guts.
