Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Near triple-double Monday
Rotowire
Barnes collected 22 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3 Pt, 8-15 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Toronto's 125-118 win over the Clippers.
Barnes provided an all-around effort to help the Raptors snap a two-game losing streak in LA. He led all players with 15 boards and tied Darius Garland for the game high in assists (eight). Barnes did struggle from the free throw line again, however, as he's now 15-for-28 from the charity strip over his last two contests. He was 17 for his first 18 attempts through the first five outings of the campaign, though, and his ability to rack up fantasy contributions in every statistical category should have him flirting with top 20 overall value in 2026-27.

Poor performance aside, Barnes has had a strong start to the season, mostly rewarding anyone who took a chance on him early in drafts. He will look to turn things around when Toronto hosts Orlando on Wednesday.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Posts double-double in preseason win
Rotowire
Barnes recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes in Saturday's 114-106 preseason win over the Clippers.
Barnes secured a double-double despite a relatively modest scoring performance, making just four of his 10 field-goal attempts. He finished with a plus-22 rating, the second-highest among the Raptors' starters, and contributed to a strong first-half performance that saw Toronto establish a 57-45 lead. Barnes' rebounding and playmaking provided value beyond his scoring numbers, and that trend should continue in the regular season, where he should be one of the team's go-to scoring options, presumably operating as the No. 2 scorer behind Kawhi Leonard, who didn't play Saturday due to rest.
Barnes (knee) practiced Tuesday and remains fine after experiencing some soreness following Saturday's preseason loss to Miami, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Barnes bumped his knee during the opening minute of Saturday's contest but played through the remainder of the first half before being held out after halftime as a precaution. His participation in Tuesday's practice is another indication that the issue isn't expected to be a concern moving forward.
Barnes said he injured his knee during the opening minute of Friday's preseason loss to Miami and is still experiencing some soreness, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
