Scottie Barnes amassed 24 points (10-of-14 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Bucks.
After missing out on his second All-Star Game appearance last season, Barnes is putting together a good argument to make that happen this winter. He recorded his 14th double-double of the season on Thursday, and the final line included three defensive contributions. That said, Barnes’ fantasy value has slipped recently, due mainly to poor foul shooting. Over the last two weeks, he’s made 61.5 percent of his attempts, including a 2-of-5 night in Milwaukee.
