Busy night at charity stripe Barrett (illness) ended Monday's 139-125 loss to the Knicks with 23 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes.

Impact After missing Toronto's past two games due to an illness, Barrett had a busy night at the charity stripe Monday against his former team, hitting eight of his 11 free-throw attempts. Over his last nine games, Barrett is averaging a strong 24.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers while shooting 50.3 percent from the field during this span. The 24-year-old wing should continue piling up counting stats for the 7-23 Raptors, but he remains a better option for fantasy managers in points leagues due to his subpar free-throw percentage on sizeable volume.

Good to go against New York Barrett (illness) is available to play against the Knicks on Monday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett has missed the Raptors' last two games due to an illness. He was a late scratch for both of those contests, but he is slated to make his return Monday. In the 10 games prior to his illness, Barrett averaged 24.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 34.7 minutes per game.

Deemed GTD Barrett (illness) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Knicks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Barrett was a late scratch in each of the Raptors' last two games due to illness. He'll likely have to go through pre-game warmups before a determination on his status is made. If he can't suit up Monday, Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle could see more action.

Won't play Sunday vs. Houston Barrett (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Barrett was initially slated to return from a one-game absence Sunday due to an illness. However, it appears he is still under the weather, and his next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Knicks. Ja'Kobe Walter was inserted into the Raptors' starting lineup against the Nets on Thursday, and he should resume that role Sunday due to Barrett's illness.

Cleared for Sunday Barrett (illness) will play Sunday against the Rockets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett was able to participate in Saturday's practice and has now received the green light to suit up Sunday after missing one game due to illness. He figures to be a full go against Houston following a brief absence.

Able to practice Saturday Barrett (illness) participated in Saturday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Barrett was held out of Thursday's game against the Nets, but the fact that he was able to take part in practice indicates this could be a brief absence for the Duke product. Expect further clarification once the Raptors release the injury report for Sunday's matchup against the Rockets.

Late scratch Thursday Barrett is out for Thursday's game versus the Nets due to an illness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Barrett will miss his first game since Oct. 26 on Thursday after being a late addition to the injury report with an illness. Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Barrett's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Houston.

Comes close to double-double Barrett amassed 32 points (11-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Barrett didn't repeat the triple-double (13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists) he notched in the loss to the Heat on Thursday, Dec. 12. Instead, he posted his eighth outing with at least 30 points this season while ending just one dime away from a double-double. Barrett is expected to handle more playmaking responsibilities with Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) sidelined. He's been up to the task, though, as he's averaging 25.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game since the beginning of December.

DECEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Records 30-point night in loss Barrett closed with 32 points (11-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Barrett bounced back from a quiet 13-point showing Thursday against the Heat and fell just one assist shy of a double-double. He continues to slot in as the team's top weapon on the offensive end and should see heavy usage going forward given the absence of Scottie Barnes (ankle) and potential future absence of Jakob Poeltl, who exited versus Chicago with a groin injury.

Too much risk, little reward in casting RJ Barrett as Raptors' primary scorer and facilitator Both of RJ Barrett's two-career triple-doubles came in losses, but the latest milestone highlighted the need to help reduce his load.

Posts triple-double Thursday Barrett ended Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami with 13 points (5-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks in 34 minutes.

Impact Barrett had an impressive showing Thursday and posted his second triple-double of the season. However, it's hard to overlook the lack of efficiency with his shot, as the six-year veteran struggled badly from the field. The Raptors are missing Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle), so Barrett will likely remain the team's point guard due to the lack of another viable option for the role. This means he's quite likely to have a high usage rate in the coming games, giving him a high floor in most formats regardless of his shooting or efficiency struggles.

Goes for 30 points Monday Barrett recorded 30 points (13-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 113-108 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Barrett reached the 30-point mark for the seventh time this season, and despite finishing just two boards shy of a double-double against his former team, the Raptors still came up short on a night where they also lost Scottie Barnes to an ankle injury. The absence of Barnes could result in a more significant role on offense for Barrett, who's averaging 26.2 points per game since the beginning of December.

Posts double-double Barrett registered 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Barrett had a rough shooting performance Thursday, but he still found a way to make a sizable fantasy impact due to his rebounding numbers. This was Barrett's fourth double-double of the season, and the 11-rebound haul represented a season-high mark for him. It also extended his impressive scoring run, as he's now scored at least 15 points in 11 contests in a row.

Explodes for 37 points Barrett racked up 37 points (15-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 victory over the Heat.

Impact Barrett's numbers have been brilliant recently, and the return of Scottie Barnes hasn't affected his production in the slightest. Sunday's total came two points short of his season high, which recorded two weeks ago against the Pacers. The powerful one-two punch of Barrett and Barnes will serve the Raptors well as they try to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Puts up 25 points Barrett notched 25 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 121-111 loss to the Heat.

Impact Barrett led the Raptors in scoring Friday, and he continues to deliver consistent high-end numbers every time he steps on the hardwood. Even though Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl have been productive fantasy options as well, Barrett has strong upside in his own right and has been living up to the hype. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his last eight games, averaging 24.6 points, 7.0 assists and 6.9 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Teases triple-double in win Barrett had 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-7 FT), eight rebounds and 11 assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-93 win over the Pelicans.

Impact The 24-year-old wing nearly recorded his second triple-double of the season, with the first coming Nov. 16 against the Celtics. Barrett has dropped at least 16 points in seven straight games, averaging 24.6 points, 7.0 boards, 7.0 assists and 2.0 threes over that stretch as he continues to see career-best usage on a Raptors roster that doesn't have many other options.
