• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Struggles from downtown in return

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett (rest) accumulated 18 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-89 loss to the Spurs. After missing two games due to an illness and a third for rest purposes, Barrett returned to action Sunday but struggled to shoot the ball from three-point land. His high turnover rate, poor free-throw shooting and lack of contributions in the defensive categories severely restrict his overall fantasy appeal in nine-category settings, but the swingman should remain a strong producer in points leagues when available for the rebuilding Raptors in the final weeks of 2024-25. Across his last 11 appearances, Barrett has averaged 20.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 31.8 minutes per contest.

  Barrett (rest) is not on the injury report and will be available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports. Barrett didn't play in any of the Raptors' last three games. He dealt with an illness that sidelined him for two contests, but he also received rest in the most recent game against the Warriors on March 20. Barrett's absence from the injury report suggests the star forward should handle his regular workload Sunday. Barrett is averaging 19.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 0.6 steals per game across five starts in March.
