J.J. Barea Fantasy Stats

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea scored 18 points with eight assists and two triples in 26 minutes on Monday. Barea filled in at point guard for Luka Doncic (ankle) and ran the offense masterfully, helping to lead his team to a victory. The 36-year-old may not be the most attractive fantasy option, but take a look at his averages every time he's played 20 or more minutes this year: 12.8 points and 7.8 assists per game. The ceiling is not high, but the floor is there as a cheap DFS option, especially if Doncic is forced to miss Tuesday's game against Portland.

Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guards Seth Curry (back) and J.J. Barea (ankle) both have their statuses up in the air for Wednesdays contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans. With Jalen Brunson (shoulder) on the shelf for an extended period of time, the duo of Luka Doncic and Delon Wright could wind up shouldering a significant ball-handling load should both Curry and Barea be unavailable Wednesday. Curry has been an electric scorer over his past five games, averaging 22.4 points on 57.9 percent shooting from long range. With the pace of Wednesdays game expected to be vastly above league average, owners will want to confirm the status of both Curry and Barea ahead of tip-off.

Dallas Mavericks guards Seth Curry and J.J. Barea have both picked up questionable tags for Wednesdays contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Curry missed Mondays game due to a left knee ailment, while Barea departed early due to a sprained left ankle. The absence of both men would put further stress on a backcourt already looking to hold steady without Luka Doncic (ankle). Jalen Brunson and Delon Wright would figure to benefit the most from an absence by Curry or Barea, but Tim Hardaway Jr. could also enjoy a further offensive role. Check back prior to tip-off to see which Mavericks have been given the green light to play.

Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guard J.J. Barea will miss the rest of Mondays game versus the Indiana Pacers due to a sprained left ankle that he sustained during the first half. Prior to his departure, Barea logged three points on 1-for-4 shooting across his nine minutes off the bench. He returned Monday from a one-game absence and figured to see a sizable role with Luka Doncic (ankle) unavailable for the near future. Bareas next chance to get back into action comes Wednesday against Memphis, a contest which he figures to be questionable for the time being.

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea got some extra run in a blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. In 23 minutes, Barea scored a season-high 15 points with seven assists, two rebounds, and a triple. The veteran guard missed the first month of the season recovering from a torn Achilles. He's shot the ball well this year and been a good source of assists, but his 15.5 minutes per game severely limits his upside. Barea is only an option in deeper leagues.

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (Achilles) has been ruled out for the first two preseason games on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Mavs are easing him back into action as he was a limited participant in camp. It's unclear if Barea will be ready for the regular season opener. The Mavs have plenty of depth with Delon Wright and Jalen Brunson, so Barea won't be worth targeting in fantasy leagues.

Point guard J.J. Barea will remain a member of the Dallas Mavericks for the upcoming 2019-20 season, reportedly inking a veteran minimum contract, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Barea sustained a torn Achilles tendon in January, which has put the start of next season in doubt as it pertains to his return. At age 35, Barea will be entering his 14th NBA campaign, and 11th as a member of the Mavericks organization. Despite averaging 19.8 minutes per game last year, Barea was able to accrue 10.9 points and 5.6 assists per contest, which will keep him on fantasy radars for those in deeper leagues.

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (Achilles) has torn his torn right Achilles tendon. The 34-year-old veteran has dealt with multiple lower leg injuries in the past, so the Mavs are going to be cautious here. Hopefully Barea is able to return sometime next season, but in the meantime Jalen Brunson and Maximilian Kleber should see increased playing time. Both players are worth looking at in deep leagues right now.

Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea carved up the Minnesota Timberwolves defense during his 22 minutes on the floor Friday, finishing with 16 points, seven assists and four rebounds. But his night was ended prematurely by a leg injury which the Mavericks fear is a torn right Achilles tendon. The injury would obviously put the 34-year-old Barea on the shelf for the remainder of the season. In the conversation for Sixth Man of the Year despite playing fewer than 20 minutes per game, Barea averaged 10.9 points and 5.6 assists per game through 38 contests this season.

Dallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki and point guards J.J. Barea and Devin Harris will be out for Saturdays contest versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Nowitzki is sitting due to rest purposes on the second leg of a back-to-back, with Harris suffering from lower back tightness and Barea an ankle injury. Figure Luka Doncic and Dennis Smith to see a huge chunk of the backcourt minutes, while its possible Jalen Brunson could get some run. The next chance Nowitzki, Barea and Harris have to return to the floor comes Monday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
