Barnes (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Suns, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barnes will shed his questionable tag due to an illness and suit up Friday. The star forward will hope to bounce back after a lackluster offensive performance in Wednesday's loss to New Orleans, during which he posted nine points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field. In five March games, Barnes has averaged 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.8 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Barnes is questionable for Friday's game versus the Suns due to an illness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barnes is feeling under the weather, but we'll have a better idea of his status for Friday's game based on his activity level at shootaround. If he's not able to give it a go, Brandon Ingram would see an uptick in usage, and there would be more minutes available for Jamison Battle and Sandro Mamukelashvili.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Barnes is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks with a thigh bruise, per Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca.
Barnes participated in Monday's practice, which should put him on the right side of the questionable marker for Tuesday. If the All-Star forward is ultimately unable to suit up, Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead would likely see enough playing time to draw streaming attention in most fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
Barnes (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barnes bruised his right quadriceps late in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Thunder.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Doesn't practice Saturday

The fifth-year star came up a couple dimes short of his third triple-double of the season and the ninth of his career.

The standout 24-year-old forward also has two triple-doubles to his credit.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Finishes with 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Barnes supplied 22 points (10-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Lakers.
Barnes was one rebound shy of a double-double in the loss, and he played reasonably well while battling with LeBron James for most of the game. He faded a bit down the stretch after a red-hot start during a 12-2 Toronto run in the first quarter, but he finished as the team's high scorer regardless. His scoring total marked his third consecutive game with 20-plus points, and his fourth in five games.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Paces Toronto in overtime loss
Rotowire
Barnes closed with 24 points (9-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes in Friday's 121-117 overtime loss to the Clippers.
Barnes led the Raptors in scoring but ultimately came up short in an overtime loss. Perimeter shooting remains a secondary part of his game at just 3.3 three-point attempts per contest this season, yet going without a make from deep in five of the past seven games underscores how even modest improvement -- he's shooting 32.6 percent from beyond the arc on the year -- could raise his overall impact.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Game-winning FT vs. Philly
Rotowire
Barnes posted 31 points (10-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven assists and six rebounds over 43 minutes during the Raptors' 116-115 overtime win over the 76ers on Sunday.
Barnes served as the focal point of the Raptors' offense Sunday due to the absences of RJ Barrett (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (thumb), and Barnes finished as the game's second-leading scorer behind Tyrese Maxey (38 points). Barnes' 10th made free throw with 0.8 seconds left in overtime put the Raptors up for good, and he deliberately missed the second attempt to let the clock expire. The Raptors and 76ers will do it all again in Monday's rematch in Toronto.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Branes (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Boston, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brandon Ingram (thumb) will join Barnes on the sidelines Friday night, so Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett figure to see a massive uptick in usage, and there will be a ton of minutes available for guys like Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Collin Murray-Boyles. Barnes' next chance to play will come Sunday versus the 76ers, but that game will be the first of a back-to-back set.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Barnes is questionable for Friday's game versus Boston with a right knee sprain.
Barnes limped to the locker room early in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hornets with this knee issue, but he was able to return for the end of the game. The Raptors are now calling it a sprain, and the team may tread carefully here. Additionally, Brandon Ingram is questionable with a thumb sprain.
