Availability
Scottie Barnes is off the injury report for Game 6 on Friday against the Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
Barnes played through a right quad contusion in the Raptors loss in Game 5. He'll be good to go on Friday as Toronto hopes to force a Game 7.
Scottie Barnes scored 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and three blocks in the Raptors 136-101 win over the Nets.
Fantasy Impact
Barnes posted his third triple-double of the year to end the regular season. He'll look to keep it going into the playoffs against the Cavaliers in round one.
Barnes has recorded at least five assists and one steal in each of his last seven games, and Tuesday's win over the Heat added a scoring breakthrough to that consistency — 25 points (10-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), his most since February 8, alongside eight rebounds, five assists, two three-pointers, one steal, and one block.
Fantasy Impact
He had scored 14 or fewer in four straight before Tuesday, making the breakout timing ideal for fantasy managers heading into the final games of the regular season.
Scottie Barnes finished with 10 points (5-14 FG), eight assists, six rebounds, and three steals in Sunday's loss to the Celtics.
Fantasy Impact
Barnes does not always light up the scoreboard, but he makes an impact in a variety of ways for the Raptos. Over the past couple of weeks, the two-time All-Star has turned in six double-doubles across eight games, averaging 14.3 points, 10.6 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 steals, and 1.0 block.
Scottie Barnes is available for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Barnes is good to go after being listed as questionable. He will remain in his usual starting role.
