Fantasy Impact:
A stroke of good luck for the Kings as they appear to be having a difficult time getting in sync due to the negative impacts of the coronavirus and team injuries. Barnes is a vital piece to the team's first rotation; his versatility allows him to play both small forward and small-ball four. This season Barnes has averaged 34.9 minutes of playing time, 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 0.6 steals. Even though he doesn't have a high-ceiling, his manageable floor and price point keeps him in consideration as a capable value-play for DFS. He is also worth considering in all other fantasy formats as well, even though his acquisition, outside of deep-league play, may be more for depth potential instead of his starting potential for your roster.
