Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Bruises right quad vs. OKC
Rotowire
Barnes recorded 15 points (7-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, four blocks and three steals over 32 minutes during the Raptors' 116-107 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.
It was another impressive effort out of Barnes, with the All-Star forward registering a season-high seven stocks while leading the Raptors in assists. Barnes leads the NBA this season with 166 stocks, and his 1.6 blocks per game is tied with Rudy Gobert for ninth-most in the Association, though the former leads all non-centers in that category. Barnes bruised his right quadriceps in the fourth quarter, and while he managed to play through the injury, he is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the spurs, per Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca.

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.
