Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Coming off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Barnes is not in the Spurs' starting lineup against the Hornets on Saturday, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Barnes has struggled since the beginning of January, having averaged 6.8 points per game while shooting just 36.6 percent from the field (including 26.7 percent from three on 4.3 3PA/G) over that span. He'll come off the bench Saturday for the first time this season while Devin Vassell enters the Spurs' starting five alongside De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Julian Champagnie and Victor Wembanyama.

Rotowire
Barnes had five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and three assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 104-95 loss to the Pelicans.
A dreadful stretch continues for Barnes, who's struggling to maintain fantasy relevance in any format. Over his last seven appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 22.4 minutes per game while shooting 35.9 percent from the floor.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Season-high eight rebounds
Rotowire
Barnes notched eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 victory over the Timberwolves.
Barnes hauled in a season-high eight rebounds, although his scoring left a lot to be desired, tallying single digits for the sixth time in the past seven games. After an encouraging start to the season, Barnes' production has dipped in recent times. In 17 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 7.9 points and 1.2 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 300 during that span.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Muted production continues
Rotowire
Barnes notched 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Barnes scored in double digits for the first time in the past five games. After a nice stretch during the month of November, Barnes has regressed on the offensive end, averaging just 10.2 points and 1.6 three-pointers per game in 14 appearances over the past month. Despite having two hands on a consistent starting role, Barnes should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming option in fantasy.

Rotowire
Barnes ended with three points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers.
With so much competition for touches in San Antonio, Barnes' usage has been held in check. He currently holds a 15.1 percent usage rate across 32 appearances with averages of 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.2 three-pointers. He remains a low-end fantasy asset in category formats.

Rotowire
Barnes notched six points (2-10 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 win over the Thunder.
Barnes came crashing back to earth, recording one of his worst performances of the season. Although the veteran has been able to provide the Spurs with a relatively consistent scoring punch, a lack of peripherals limits his overall fantasy value. Through 25 games, Barnes is averaging 13.2 points, 1.1 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per contest.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Effective from deep
Rotowire
Barnes supplied 24 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Monday's 135-132 win over the Pelicans.
Barnes was dangerous from downtown in Monday's victory, finishing second on his team in made triples behind Julian Champagnie's five treys. Barnes has been inconsistent to say the least over his last few appearances, as he was held to seven points Friday and 11 points Wednesday prior to his 24-point outburst against New Orleans.

Rotowire
Barnes compiled 31 points (10-20 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 126-119 win over Memphis.
After scoring just five points on 2-for-9 shooting during Sunday's loss to Minnesota, Barnes delivered a bounce-back performance Tuesday. The veteran forward provided a game- and season-high mark in points, logging his fourth game with at least 20 points through 20 regular-season appearances. He also knocked down a season-high seven triples, sinking at least five for the second time this season.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Stays hot vs. Memphis
Rotowire
Barnes provided 23 points (9-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Grizzlies.
Barnes reached the 20-point threshold for a second straight game and posted another strong shooting performance. He has shot 7-for-14 from deep over that two-game span and should see plenty of chances on the offensive end with Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) both expected to miss an extended period.

While all the attention offensively and defensively will be on Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle and De'Aaron Fox, Barnes has shown he is capable of knocking down shots and making plays when his number is called.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Efficient scoring continues
Rotowire
Barnes chipped in 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and two rebounds across 28 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over New Orleans.
Barnes shot at least 50 percent for the fourth straight game, continuing his strong recent play. Over the past four games, he has averaged 16.5 points per game, shooting an impressive 67.7 percent from the floor. We have a big enough sample size to know that this efficiency won't last forever, so while he should be rostered in most fantasy formats, that time will almost certainly come to an end at some point.

Barnes totaled 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 107-101 victory over Miami.
The Spurs are off to a 5-0 start, and Barnes has locked down a significant role on the wings. His fantasy value hasn't been the greatest, however, as he's averaging 9.2 points, 2.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers in 30.5 minutes per contest.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Empty performance Wednesday
Rotowire
Barnes ended Wednesday's 125-92 victory over the Mavericks with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes.
Barnes offered very little in terms of tangible production, a trend we have seen across each of the past two seasons. While he is likely to remain in the starting lineup, his impact is rarely felt across fantasy circles. At this point, there may be little reason to roster him outside of deeper formats.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Rough night in preseason opener
Rotowire
Barnes managed two points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 15 minutes during Monday's 119-88 preseason victory.
Barnes was quiet during the preseason win, failing to convert from the field. Although he continues to be a picture of health, Barnes' production has diminished in recent times, coming off a season during which he averaged just 12.3 points per game. The Spurs are primed to make a push this season after having added some much-needed depth during the offseason. While Barnes will likely play a sizeable role, it wouldn't be surprising to see him scaled back at certain points.

Rotowire
Barnes notched 18 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 win over the Raptors.
Barnes was remarkably durable this season, playing all 82 games for the third straight season. His fantasy production left a lot to be desired, however, as Barnes finished outside the top-150 in standard leagues for per-game value with 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.9 three-pointers on 50.8 percent from the field and 80.9 percent from the line.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Hits game-winning three in stunner
Rotowire
Barnes ended Wednesday's 114-111 win over Golden State with 20 points (6-9 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes.
After committing a costly foul that allowed the Warriors to tie it up, Barnes drilled the three over Jimmy Butler's head after grabbing the inbound pass with seconds remaining. Barnes was disappointed with just six points when the Spurs lost a 108-106 squeaker to the Warriors at the end of March, but he's sizzled on the court since the mediocre showing. Over the last six games, Barnes averaged 21.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals.
