  Barrett produced 39 points (13-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-12 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 130-119 win over the Pacers.

This was Barrett's fourth game with at least 30 points this season, and he's also recorded 22 or more points in his past three appearances.

• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Logs first career triple-double

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett registered 25 points (10-27 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 15 assists, 10 rebounds, one steal and one block over 42 minutes in Saturday's 126-123 overtime loss to the Celtics. Playing on a second leg of a back-to-back, Barrett and Jakob Poeltl gave the NBA defending champions everything they could handle. While Barrett's final shooting numbers don't look great on paper, he consistently made timely buckets to keep the short-handed Raptors in the game, though his missed free throws in the fourth quarter ultimately allowed the Celtics to force overtime. Not only were his 15 assists a career high, but he also finished the game with the first triple-double of his NBA career. Since Nov. 1, Barrett has averaged 20.9 points, 6.9 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 34.6 minutes per game.

• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Scores 22 points Friday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett closed Friday's 99-95 loss to the Pistons with 22 points (6-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one block over 34 minutes. Barrett didn't have his best shooting performance since he nailed just 33 percent of his shots from the field and from three-point range, but he still finished as Toronto's second-best scorer behind Jakob Poeltl, who posted a season-high 25 points in this loss. Barrett remains a consistent scoring weapon for the Raptors, though it must be noted that he's reached the 20-point mark just twice in his last six outings. He's averaging 16.5 points per game while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in that stretch.

• Raptors' RJ Barrett: Shooting woes surface Sunday

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrett had 18 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers. Barrett didn't have his best performance Sunday and had a rough showing from the field, making just 33.3 percent of his field goals. However, he salvaged his line a bit by posting solid numbers in the rebounding and assists categories. Even if he has an off night from time to time, Barrett should remain one of the Raptors' primary offensive options on a game-to-game basis.
