Another 20-point effort Saturday Barrett finished Saturday's 122-115 loss to the Nets with 24 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes.

Impact Barrett put up another 20-point effort Saturday, the fifth time he has done so in his past seven games. Not only were the points there but he was also efficient from the floor, an element of his game that often raises questions. Despite being outside the top 200 this season, Barrett remains a viable commodity in standard formats, as long as defensive production is not high on your list of requirements.

Logs 21 points, seven boards Barrett amassed 21 points (9-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-105 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Barrett had a nice stretch between the second and third quarters where he went 7-of-11 from the field for 16 points, before going just 1-of-7 in the final period as the Knicks fell to Washington at home. The shooting guard broke the 20-point mark and grabbed seven boards for the second straight game, though he also led the team in turnovers with four. Barrett also failed to connect on a three-pointer in the contest and has shot 25 percent from beyond arc through five games this month.

Big numbers in return Barrett (finger) amassed 27 points (9-23 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Barrett struggled in terms of efficiency -- something that's been an issue throughout his career -- but he otherwise produced about as well as fantasy managers could have hoped as he made his return from a six-game absence due to a lacerated finger. Though Barrett hadn't played since Dec. 27, the Knicks evidently weren't concerned about his conditioning, considering he cleared the 40-minute mark for the seventh time this season. With Barrett back in action, Immanuel Quickley's workload decreased, as Quickley moved back to the bench and played 26 minutes after averaging 42.3 minutes per game over his previous seven appearances.

Expected to start with no limit Barrett (finger) will be available Wednesday against the Pacers and is expected to start with no minutes limit, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact After six missed games due to a lacerated finger, Barrett will make his return. His presence should kick Immanuel Quickley back to a reserve role. Before suffering the injury, Barrett was averaging 23.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in December.

Considered questionable Barrett (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Barrett has missed six straight games with a laceration on his right index finger, but the 22-year-old was able to take part in most of Sunday's practice and appears close to a return. If the lefty is cleared for Wednesday's matchup, he may face a minutes restriction, which would limit his overall fantasy value.

Officially out Barrett (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Bucks, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barrett will miss a sixth straight game due to a laceration on his right index finger, but the 22-year-old lefty was able to take part in most of Sunday's practice, which suggests that he's getting closer to a return. Barrett's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Pacers. In his absence, Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes will continue to see increased playing time.

Gets doubtful tag for Monday The Knicks list Barrett (finger) as doubtful for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Though Barrett appears to be inching closer to a return from a laceration on his right index finger after he took part in most of Sunday's practice, the 22-year-old wing still looks to be trending toward missing a sixth consecutive game Monday. Barrett's ongoing absence should continue to open up more playing time and usage for Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes.

Practices, but status uncertain Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Barrett (finger) took part in most of Sunday's practice, but the wing's status for Monday's matchup against the Bucks is still to be determined...

Impact Barrett has missed five straight contests due to a right finger laceration, but it appears he's getting closer to a return. More clarity on Barrett's availability will be available when New York releases its next injury report, but if the lefty is sidelined again Monday, he'll have three more opportunities to play during the Knicks' upcoming four-game week.
