Barrett has scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven games. Against the Heat, his final stat line only lacked a blocked shot, and a 9-of-10 night from the foul line helped boost the point total. While not the best option in category leagues, Barrett has played well down the stretch, and he’s one of many Raptors who benefited from the return of Immanuel Quickley (11/3/4/1 with three three-pointers) in the two wins over the Heat. Having the point guard on the floor is huge for the Raptors, even if Quickley does not appear to be at full strength.

After scoring 20 points or more in four consecutive games, Barrett’s run came to a screeching halt in Boston. The Raptors’ wing shot 5-of-13 from inside the arc, which is problematic since he does not offer much value as a three-point shooter. Barrett has recorded at least four assists in three straight games for just the second time this month.

The Raptors took full control of Friday’s game and put it out of reach fairly early. As a result, Barrett was limited to 29 minutes and saw most of his production come over the first three quarters. The lefty scorer produced 23 of his points before the final period, and just two points in four minutes the rest of the way. Three-point shooting was Barrett’s biggest strength on Friday, and he’s now scored 20 or more points in four straight games. He’ll have a chance to extend his scoring streak to five games on Sunday against the Celtics to close the fantasy season.

Barrett extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to three on Wednesday, while also providing solid value in rebounds and assists. Unfortunately, he doesn’t bring much to the table defensively, and his percentages weren’t great on Wednesday. Those issues limit Barrett’s value in category leagues, with the wing being a better option in points leagues. The Raptors play two more games in Week 23, starting with the Grizzlies on Friday.

Barrett will shake off a probable tag and play through a shoulder injury, just as he did Sunday when he dropped 24 points. Fantasy managers should expect him to see a normal workload with the potential for additional scoring and playmaking responsibilities with Immanuel Quickley out and Brandon Ingram questionable.

Barrett played through his left shoulder injury on Sunday, scoring a game-high 24 points in a rout of the Magic. The probable tag suggests that he’ll be available on Tuesday, which would be pretty big for the Raptors. Immanuel Quickley is out, while Brandon Ingram is questionable after not playing on Sunday.

Added to the Raptors’ injury report late Sunday afternoon, Barrett was able to start that night’s matchup with the Magic. And he was able to get a little more rest towards the end of the 139-87 demolition, logging 26 minutes. Barrett was efficient when on the court, helping the Raptors compensate for Brandon Ingram (heel) being a late scratch. The Raptors play four games in Week 23, starting with the Pistons on Tuesday.

Absent from the Raptors’ initial injury report, Barrett actually tweaked his left shoulder during Friday’s win over the Pelicans. He’s now dealing with some shoulder stiffness, casting doubt on his availability. If Barrett can’t play, Jamal Shead could move into the starting lineup, since Ja’Kobe Walter is starting in place of Immanuel Quickley.

Barrett struggled on Wednesday with his shooting, both inside and outside the arc. He failed to convert on any of his seven three-point attempts and even shot below 50.0 percent from the free-throw line. The seventh-year guard was one of Toronto’s top rebounders and facilitators on the night, but his inefficient scoring held back his production in a big way. Fantasy managers will hope he can bounce back on Friday against the Pelicans.

Limited to 13 points in Sunday’s loss to the Suns, Barrett took advantage of the lottery-bound Jazz on Monday. He’s scored at least 20 points in four of his last six games and has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats since March 1. Barrett’s “finishing kick” has been a welcome development for fantasy managers looking to win a title, especially those in category leagues.

Sunday’s game got away from Barrett and the Raptors early, as they were outscored by 14 points in the first quarter. Over the past two weeks, he has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his season-long value. Barrett and the Raptors will look to bounce back on Monday when they visit the Jazz.

A one-sided contest limited Barrett to only 27 minutes, which was enough time for him to tally a third straight 20-point game. He was efficient again from the field en route to finishing as Toronto’s leading scorer and leader in made three-pointers. Barrett has really come on as a scorer of late; in March alone, he’s scored at least 20 points in six of his seven appearances, while shooting above 50.0 percent in each of the six. Solid rebounding has also provided a nice floor of late. He’ll look to stay hot on Friday against the Nuggets.

Barrett has been excellent so far in the month of March with at least 20 points in six out of seven games. The 25-year-old small forward also helped out in category leagues, a rare occurrence for him this year. Barrett has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks, which is a significant uptick in his production compared to the rest of the season.

After having his fantasy value take a significant hit in February, Barrett has gotten off to a good start in March. In six games, he’s averaged 23.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 59.1 percent from the field. That’s been a positive development for fantasy managers, especially those competing in category leagues. The Raptors host the Pistons on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

Barrett had his first 30-point game over the year as he dropped 31 points in Sunday’s win over the Mavericks. The 25-year-old small forward followed that up with 25 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Rockets, giving him 56 points over the last two games. Barrett has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Raptors have three more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

In addition to surpassing 8,000 points for his NBA career, Barrett recorded his first 30-point game of the season on Sunday. The Raptors guard scored efficiently in the 122-92 victory, making 10 of his 12 two-point attempts. Barrett has been on a nice run recently, scoring at least 20 points in four straight and five of his last six games. The Raptors play four games in Week 20, starting with road games in Houston and New Orleans on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Make it four games of 20 points or more in the last for Barrett, whose fantasy value slipped noticeably heading into the All-Star break. His value has rebounded somewhat since the break, but limited assist and defensive production continue to limit Barrett’s value, especially in category leagues. The Raptors play once more in Week 19, on Sunday against the Mavericks.

While Barrett had a good night shooting the basketball, he has yet to beat the Knicks since being traded to Toronto. While he’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, the lackluster production outside of points and rebounds is why Barrett is a better option in points leagues than category leagues. The Raptors play two more games in Week 19, starting with the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Since the All-Star break, Barrett has shot 39.1 percent from the field, so a night like Saturday was needed. The Raptors’ wing had an efficient night on offense, making over 50 percent of his attempts and recording just one turnover in 33 minutes. Due to the limited production outside of points and rebounds, poor shooting affects Barrett’s fantasy value more than it would if he were a productive option across the board in category leagues. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s effort when the Raptors host the Knicks on Tuesday.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Bulls, Barrett had a good afternoon against the Pacers. All that was missing from his stat line was a blocked shot. Unfortunately, Barrett’s fantasy value has tailed off after a hot start to the season. But, in fairness to him, there may have been too much expected of Barrett in terms of fantasy value. While days like Sunday are certainly possible, Carter is a better option in points leagues than category leagues.

Barrett was held out of Thursday’s win over the Bulls due to injury management. His return to the lineup means that Ja’Kobe Walter will head to the bench. While productive against the Bulls, Walter should only be rostered in dynasty leagues when the Raptors’ perimeter rotation is whole.

Barrett has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, but his name has also been floated in numerous trade rumors, so it’s possible that he is also on his way to another team. Regardless, he will be out on Thursday, which should lead to more minutes for Ja’Kobe Walker and Gradey Dick.

It’s Barrett’s first game with at least 20 points since January 7 against the Hornets, when he had 28 points. The 25-year-old small forward has taken a step in the right direction over the last two games, but he’s turned out to be one of the bigger busts in fantasy this season. Barrett had a top-110 ADP in Yahoo! leagues and isn’t in the top 188 in per game value over the last two weeks.

Like most of his teammates not named Brandon Ingram, Barrett had a rough night shooting the basketball. His points tally was boosted by a good night at the foul line, and fantasy managers should also benefit from the rebounds and assists. Barrett entered the season with a top-100 ADP in Yahoo! leagues, but managers may have been expecting too much from him, given the track record throughout his career.

Barrett has been sidelined for Toronto’s last seven games, but there is a chance he returns to the lineup against Portland. Jamal Shead has been the recent starter in his place and will head back to the bench when Barrett returns. However, he has been productive as a starter and is worth streaming if Barrett remains out.
