Scottie Barnes Stats

Toronto Raptors guard Scottie Barnes (quad) briefly exited during Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He walked off the court under his own power, which is always a good sign. Barnes was diagnosed with a left quad bruise and cleared to return. It sounds like it was a minor issue and fantasy managers don't need to panic. Fantasy managers should check back after the game, but it appears Barnes is fine.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes scored a team-high 25 points on 11-for-17 shooting from the field in Friday's 115-83 victory against the Celtics. Barnes added 13 rebounds, two assists, one made three-pointer and one turnover in the impressive effort, while playing 35 minutes and producing a team-best plus-29 rating in the blowout win. Barnes should be rostered across standard fantasy formats as he will continue to have a significant role while Pascal Siakam (shoulder) is sidelined.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against Boston. This will mark the rookie's second-straight start. He played relatively well against the Wizards during his league debut, finishing with 12 points and nine boards, one rebound shy of a double-double. He did have six turnovers, which was an issue, but he did get 33 minutes of work. Nonetheless, if Barnes can get a few more shots to fall and keep his turnovers at bay, he has the potential to be a top value option in DFS formats on Friday night.

Toronto Raptors rookie forward Scottie Barnes made his NBA debut against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. The team gave him a hefty amount of playing time as he was in the starting five and he logged 33 minutes, third-most on the team. He went on to compile 12 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and six turnovers. He shot 5-for-13 from the field and missed his only three-point attempt in the game. Barnes has tantalizing upside for fantasy purposes. He's a phenomenal passer and he has great defensive and rebounding instincts. His shooting is a big question, but he should provide a variety of counting stats for fantasy managers throughout his first year in the NBA.
