RJ Barrett LEADS THE TEAM TO VICTORY Over Bulls | New York Knicks @ Chicago (Dec. 16, 2022)

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Leads all scorers with 27 points Barrett logged 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-11 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Friday's 114-91 win over Chicago.

Impact Barrett dropped another 20-point performance Friday, powering the Knicks to their sixth straight win. Sadly, he was poor from the free throw line and failed to add any defensive stats, capping what was another strong offensive performance. He has been a top-100 player over the past week, averaging 25.3 points per game. While he remains outside the top 200 for the season, he is a must-roster player, given anyone who rosters him should be prepared for his inefficient shooting.

RJ Barrett In KNICKS WIN Over Bulls | New York Knicks @ Chicago (Dec. 16, 2022)

Pours in 27 points Barrett totaled 27 points (9-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals over 44 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 victory over the Kings.

Impact Barrett got off to a slow start Sunday by scoring only two points in the first quarter, but he heated up in the second period, posting 10 points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal. He would go on to score 15 points in the second half to tie Julius Randle with a game-high 27. Barrett has been playing at a high level so far in December, averaging 19.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 33.2 minutes.

Surges for 26 points Barrett supplied 26 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 121-102 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Barrett came into the contest having averaged 14.3 points on 37.1 percent shooting over his previous three games, but he turned things around Friday. The fourth-year pro finished second among all players in scoring behind teammate Julius Randle (33 points), and he chipped in solid numbers as a rebounder and a passer as well. Barrett's inefficient shooting brings down his fantasy value, but there's still some viability in a wing who averages 18.5 points, 5.5 boards and 1.5 three-pointers per game.

Solid shooting in loss Barrett supplied 26 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-103 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Barrett had a terrific first half shooting the ball, knocking down five of six field goal attempts and all four of his shots from the free-throw line for 15 points. He struggled a bit in the second half with 11 points on 3-of-9 shooting, though he still went on to lead New York with 26 points in the contest. The Knicks forward has scored 20 or more points in three of his last five games but continues to underwhelm in most other stat categories.

Scores efficient 22 points in loss Barrett closed with 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 127-123 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Barrett continues to alternate good and bad games, scoring 22 points on 50 percent shooting, following on from a game in which he was dreadful from the field. The fact he adds very little outside of scoring on a nightly basis does put a significant cap on his overall fantasy value. He is worth rostering in most leagues but anyone invested in him should be used to dealing with his flaws, both offensively and defensively.

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.
