Scottie Barnes

Scottie Barnes is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.

Fantasy Impact

Barnes lands on the injury report with an illness. If he sits, Ja’Kobe Walter would likely see the spot start.

Barnes logged 35 minutes in Sunday's 30-point win over the Mavericks, finishing with 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five assists, four rebounds, two three-pointers, one steal, and one block — all with just one turnover.

Fantasy Impact

Five categories, clean efficiency, and minimal ball-handling mistakes is the kind of line that quietly wins fantasy matchups even without a headline number.

Since the All-Star break, Barnes has averaged 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.5 blocks on 48.7 percent shooting across six games. Thursday's line — 16 points (7-of-12 FGs), three assists, two three-pointers, two rebounds, and one block — fit the scoring pattern but came up short in the rebounding and steal categories.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy managers have come to expect more across the board from him, and the recent averages suggest he's capable of delivering it.

Scottie Barnes is now off the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Barnes was initially listed as questionable when the injury report was first released. He will be a full-go for the Raptors.

Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said on Monday that Scottie Barnes went through practice but is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Barnes is dealing with a thigh bruise suffered in last Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he was able to play through the Toronto Raptors’ next two games. It is a positive sign that he also practiced on Monday. Barnes is averaging 17.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.9 steals over his last nine games.
