• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Records 32-point night in loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett closed with 32 points (11-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls. Barrett bounced back from a quiet 13-point showing Thursday against the Heat and fell just one assist shy of a double-double. He continues to slot in as the team's top weapon on the offensive end and should see heavy usage going forward given the absence of Scottie Barnes (ankle) and potential future absence of Jakob Poeltl, who exited versus Chicago with a groin injury.

• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Posts triple-double Thursday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett ended Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami with 13 points (5-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks in 34 minutes. Barrett had an impressive showing Thursday and posted his second triple-double of the season. However, it's hard to overlook the lack of efficiency with his shot, as the six-year veteran struggled badly from the field. The Raptors are missing Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle), so Barrett will likely remain the team's primary playmaker. He should have an elevated usage rate in the coming games, giving him a high floor in most formats regardless of his shooting or efficiency struggles.

• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Goes for 30 points Monday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett recorded 30 points (13-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 113-108 loss to the Knicks. Barrett reached the 30-point mark for the seventh time this season, and despite finishing just two boards shy of a double-double against his former team, the Raptors still came up short on a night where they also lost Scottie Barnes to an ankle injury. The absence of Barnes could result in a more significant role on offense for Barrett, who's averaging 26.2 points per game since the beginning of December.

• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Posts double-double

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett registered 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 loss to the Thunder. Barrett had a rough shooting performance Thursday, but he still found a way to make a sizable fantasy impact due to his rebounding numbers. This was Barrett's fourth double-double of the season, and the 11-rebound haul represented a season-high mark for him. It also extended his impressive scoring run, as he's now scored at least 15 points in 11 contests in a row.

• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Explodes for 37 points

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett racked up 37 points (15-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 victory over the Heat. Barrett's numbers have been brilliant recently, and the return of Scottie Barnes hasn't affected the former's production in the slightest. Sunday's total came two points short of his season high, which he recorded two weeks ago against the Pacers. The powerful one-two punch of Barrett and Barnes will serve the Raptors well as they try to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference.
