Barnes accumulated 16 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Pelicans.
Barnes snapped out of a brutal slump with this performance. In his previous four games, Barnes was held to eight points or less, hitting a combined 9-for-30 from the field in that span. Fantasy managers will be looking to see if the veteran can find the consistency he showed for most of November.

Rotowire
Barnes closed Tuesday's 104-93 loss to the Suns with two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.
Barnes had a monster run towards the end of November, but he has since hit a speed bump. Over his last four outings, he's averaged just 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers. A lower usage rate could be the norm now that the Spurs are getting healthier.

Rotowire
Barnes supplied 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-101 loss to the Lakers.
Barnes didn't do much outside of the scoring column, but fantasy managers won't have a problem with that if he continues to score at the same rate he's done in recent weeks. The veteran forward has scored at least 19 points in four of his last five appearances, a span in which he's averaging 18.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 58 percent from the floor.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Extends productive stretch
Rotowire
Barnes posted 22 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 104-94 win over the Warriors.
Barnes was extremely efficient in this win Saturday and missed just one of his eight shots from the field en route to posting his second-best scoring mark of the campaign. Barnes has scored at least 20 points in three contests in a row, and while the veteran struggled in the early stages of the season, he seems to be turning things around based on the displays he's had over the last week.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: First double-double of season
Rotowire
Barnes notched 25 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-118 win over the Jazz.
Barnes has been heavily criticized this season since he's not producing at a high level despite being one of the most experienced players on the Spurs roster, but he certainly made an impact in this game. The veteran forward recorded season-high marks in both points and rebounds en route to his first double-double in 2024-25. He might be trending in the right direction after recording back-to-back games with at least 20 points while hitting the 10-point plateau in six of his last eight appearances.

Barnes posted 20 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-104 win over the Thunder.
Wednesday's line showed that you can never count Barnes out for elite production. He added a nice rebound total to his usual sharpshooting and picked up some of the missed output from Victor Wembanyama's (knee) absence.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Monotonous season continues
Rotowire
Barnes closed Wednesday's 139-130 win over the Wizards with 10 points (2-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes.
Barnes continues to do very little in terms of production, continuing a lethargic start to the season. Through 12 games, the veteran is averaging just 9.8 points and 3.9 rebounds despite playing 28.7 minutes per game. At this point, he is more of a placeholder than a viable contributor.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Woeful showing Wednesday
Rotowire
Barnes had two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 loss to the Rockets.
Barnes has been extremely inconsistent at the start of the season, and while he showed glimpses of being a productive fantasy option amid a decent start to the campaign, the wheels have fallen off quickly. He's scored in single digits in three of his last four outings and hasn't even reached the five-point plateau in the previous two. He's averaging just 6.7 points per game since the beginning of November.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Serves up nothing in loss
Rotowire
Barnes finished with two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 29 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to the Rockets.
Barnes was invisible in the loss, demonstrating why he cannot be trusted as a viable fantasy asset. Although he has had a couple of serviceable performances to begin the season, we saw here just how bad he can be when his offense is not clicking. Outside of deeper formats, Barnes is not someone who needs to be rostered.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Traded to San Antonio
Rotowire
Barnes has been traded to the Spurs as part of the deal that sent DeMar DeRozan to the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Barnes spent the 2023-24 season as the starting small forward for the Kings, and he should have the same role for a rebuilding Spurs team that also added Chris Paul in free agency. Barnes averaged 10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 71 regular-season appearances for Sacramento in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Barnes supplied 17 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 121-82 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Although Barnes is a shot-dependent fantasy option, he's stepped up to absorb most of the production left by Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Malik Monk (knee). The veteran enjoyed a lot of playoff experience during his tenure with the Warriors, averaging 10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 71 appearances. He'll get a chance to further his playoff resume against his former team this week.

Kings' Harrison Barnes: Role shrinking
Rotowire
Barnes closed Sunday's 107-77 win over Brooklyn with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across 11 minutes.
With the Kings fighting for every win in a tightly contested Western Conference playoff race, Barnes has seen his usage dry up as coach Mike Brown gives more minutes to second-unit players like Trey Lyles and Davion Mitchell. Barnes has scored in single digits in six of the last nine games and played 15 minutes or less in two of the last three. The 31-year-old forward seems dangerously close to dropping out of the rotation entirely.

Kings' Harrison Barnes: Set for big usage boost
Rotowire
Barnes had 24 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-106 victory over the Jazz.
Malik Monk's (knee) has joined Kevin Huerter (shoulder) with a long-term injury, leaving the door wide open for Barnes to make a significant impact. He delivered on Sunday, making five three-pointers during an impressive sharpshooting display. The veteran will now assume a critical role during Sacramento's push to the playoffs.

Kings' Harrison Barnes: Misses game-tying three-pointer
Rotowire
Barnes closed with 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 107-103 loss to the Mavericks.
Despite coming up short in the final minute, Barnes provided excellent support amid Kevin Huerter's (shoulder) absence, and his veteran presence will serve the Kings well as they continue their playoff push. Barnes' record has been spotty during the month of March, but he's in line for an upward trend due to Huerter being sidelined. The lineup adjustment should result in increased shot volume, and Barnes usually finishes well when he has 10 or more shot attempts.

Kings' Harrison Barnes: Monotonous performance Saturday
Rotowire
Barnes totaled nine points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds across 37 minutes during Saturday's 109-107 victory over Orlando.
Barnes was a non-factor in the win despite playing 37 minutes. In true Barnes fashion, he did nothing to excite fantasy managers, proving why he should be considered a viable asset in deeper formats only. With his best years now behind him, there is no reason to think anything changes for the remainder of the season and beyond.

Kings' Harrison Barnes: Gets buckets Wednesday
Rotowire
Barnes posted 23 points (8-15 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers.
Barnes is on fire from beyond the arc, compiling 11-for-18 shooting from deep across his last two games, with Wednesday representing his fifth occasion of the season posting at least five made threes. Barnes' workload has fluctuated of late, and he isn't contributing much outside of the scoring column, but he is carrying serious shooting momentum into Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Kings' Harrison Barnes: Efficient performance in win
Rotowire
Barnes ended with 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 131-129 win over San Antonio.
Barnes is on pace to average his fewest points per game since his final year in Golden State (2015-16) and career lows in rebounds and assists. It hasn't been a good campaign for the veteran, but he has scored in double figures in seven of Sacramento's last eight games. However, he's still not doing enough overall to be a must-roster player in standard leagues despite averaging 29.3 minutes per game.

Barnes chipped in 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 victory over the Clippers.
Players like Kevin Huerter and Keegan Murray have endured their share of struggles recently, but Barnes' veteran presence has kept the ship upright at the wing. The pure shooter remains effective, although he also tends to underperform with the occasional single-digit total. Barnes can achieve his upside with a dialed-in three-point shot, and he drilled four from downtown in the win.

Barnes has compiled seven games of 20-plus points across 49 appearances this season, with five coming in his past seven games. He is averaging 36.0 minutes per night over that span, which combines with his ongoing three-point prowess to form a solid fantasy floor. Barnes will look to carry his momentum into Wednesday's game against Detroit's 28th-ranked defense.
