Scottie Barnes finished Thursday’s loss to the Lakers with 23 points (8-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, nine assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers.
Barnes and the Raptors didn’t get the victory on Thursday, but he provided fantasy managers with another exquisite stat line. The forward/guard finished one assist shy of his first triple-double of the season, and he did so on excellent percentages. Over the past two weeks, Barnes has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long production. While it’s still early, he’s trending toward making the second All-Star Game appearance of his career.
