Julius Randle and RJ Barrett TEAM UP to TAKE DOWN Thunder | NY Knicks vs. OKC (Nov. 21, 2022)

Erupts for 25 points Barrett notched 25 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 129-119 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Barrett's shot was working in Oklahoma City, as he turned in his best scoring performance since Nov. 11 against Detroit. He continues to show that he can score with ease when his shot is falling, but he's been unreliable through the first month of the new campaign. Barrett was shooting 26.3 percent from the field and 8.0 percent from three in the five contests prior to Monday's clash.

Pours in 18 points Barrett amassed 18 points (5-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-14 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 win over the Jazz.

Impact Barrett doesn't have a reliable floor, but he can go off when his shot is dialed in, as he displayed over the weekend with 30 points against Detroit. He put up 18 shots in the win, representing one of his highest totals this season, and he should remain one of the team's go-to options as a scorer despite a pair of lackluster shooting efforts the last two times out.

Explodes for 30 points Barrett accumulated 30 points (10-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Friday's 121-112 win over the Pistons.

Impact Barrett reached the 30-point mark for the first time this season and was a key cog in the win over the Pistons, but the uptick in his scoring figures has been noticeable since the turn of the month. He's averaging 22.7 points per game while shooting 48 percent from the field in six November appearances, which is an upgrade compared to the figures he posted in October in the same categories -- 17.7 points per game and 40 percent from the field.

Average showing in blowout Barrett collected 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3PT, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes Wednesday in a loss against Brooklyn.

Impact Barrett managed to score in double figures but struggled to find his shooting touch. It was his lowest scoring performance since Oct. 30 against Cleveland and a subpar performance given that he averaged 19.6 points through his first 10 contests of the 2022-23 campaign. On a more positive note, Barrett has recorded a steal in five straight matchups.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Barrett logged 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 106-104 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Barrett tied his highest scoring mark of the season and delivered a season-high output in rebounds, so this outing could be categorized as his best outing of the campaign so far. Barrett remains a serviceable offensive threat and plays a major role in the Knicks' offense, but his numbers have regressed a bit compared to what he accomplished in the 2021-22 campaign, particularly in the scoring and efficiency categories.

Serviceable performance Sunday Barrett closed with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Barrett was fine in the loss without doing anything too spectacular. The fact he shot 60 percent from the field and didn't make it to the line were both positives. While he is quite clearly a 12-team commodity, he does come with his obvious flaws, namely a low shooting percentage. Anyone who drafted him should have been prepared for the empty lines, making this a serviceable effort.

Shooting struggles continue in win Barrett produced 22 points (9-21 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 134-131 overtime win over the Hornets.

Impact Barrett missed six of his last seven shots, including three layups, as the Knicks held on to win in overtime. For the third time in four games, he failed to make a three-point shot and he is just 3-for-21 from beyond the arc for the year. The 22-year-old continues to struggle to be an efficient scorer and has made only 37.0 percent of his field-goal attempts in the early going.

Hits for 18 in win over Pistons Barrett finished Friday's 130-106 win over the Pistons with 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes.

Impact After a disastrous 3-for-18 shooting performance in New York's first game of the season, a three-point loss in Memphis on Wednesday, Barrett looked a lot more comfortable in the Knicks' home opener. The fourth-year wing led the starting five in scoring, but after coming into the year as a career 35.3 percent shooter from three-point range, he's 0-for-9 from beyond the arc in 2022-23.

Wraps strong preseason Barrett logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and a block during 33 minutes of action in Friday's 105-89 win over the Wizards.

Impact Barrett concludes preseason action averaging 19.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. He connected on a blistering 50.0 percent (11-of-22 3Pt) of his triples through New York's four contests. He'll look to stay hot in the Knicks' season opener against Memphis on Wednesday.

Scores 21 in loss Barrett scored 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3 Pt, 6-7 FT) with four rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers.

Impact Barrett had a solid night overall with the exception of going just 1-of-5 from the three-point line. He had two nice assists in the first quarter to Julius Randle for three, and then to Obi Toppin for an easy dunk, while shooting 3-of-7 in the first half. The Knicks guard then added 12 third-quarter points before watching his team blow the lead in the fourth quarter from the bench.

Hits for 21 in preseason opener Barrett scored 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 23 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over the Pistons.

Impact With a huge four-year contract extension in his pocket, Barrett got his preseason off to a flying start, leading all scorers on the night with an impressive display of offense. The Knicks are setting expectations high after they also added Jalen Brunson to the backcourt, and they'll need Barrett to take another step forward in his development after the 22-year-old averaged 20 points a game for the first time last season.
