Goes for 23 points in loss Barrett notched 23 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 133-123 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Barrett cleared the 20-point mark for the second consecutive game, and while he's firmly entrenched as one of New York's primary scoring alternatives alongside Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle, this was the first time he posted back-to-back 20-point games since a three-game stretch between Nov. 6 and Nov. 12. His overall numbers are a bit down compared to last season in most major categories, however, perhaps signaling his role as New York's clear third-best option on offense.

Flirts with double-double in loss Barrett logged 23 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 146-122 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Barrett scored at least 20 points for the first time in the past eight games, adding a season-high eight rebounds. After a hot start to the season, Barrett's numbers have declined of late. His efficiency was unsustainable to begin the campaign, as we have seen over the past three weeks. He still warrants a roster spot in most leagues, although managers should note that he doesn't offer any upside outside of points and threes.

Struggles with efficiency in loss Barrett logged nine points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Suns.

Impact Barrett had scored in double figures in 10 consecutive appearances to begin the season, but he had one of his worst performances of the year during Sunday's narrow defeat. Over seven appearances in November, he's averaged 18.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.6 minutes per game. Despite being held in check Sunday, Barrett should have plenty of opportunities to bounce back.

Provides spark late in victory Barrett produced 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Friday's 100-98 victory over Miami.

Impact Barrett saw a balanced game scoring and on the boards, finishing second on the team in rebounds while ending as one of five Knicks with a double-digit point total in a comeback victory. Barrett stepped up down the stretch for New York, tallying eight of his 18 points in the fourth quarter. Barrett, who hauled in a season-high-tying rebound total, has recorded at least 14 points and seven rebounds in two straight games.

Impact Barrett has looked very good this season and has reached the 24-point mark in five of his first seven appearances. While he doesn't fill the stat sheet consistently in other categories, that shouldn't matter much, as Barrett's value is mainly tied to what he can do as a scorer.

Explodes for 26 points in return Barrett closed with 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 111-97 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Barrett missed New York's first two games of November due to a knee injury, but he didn't seem inhibited by the issue Monday. The 23-year-old tied his season high in scoring with an efficient effort from the field and a perfect performance from the charity stripe. For good measure, Barrett finished well above his season averages in both boards and assists to round out arguably his best stat line of the season. The fifth-year pro hasn't shown the ability to put up this level of complementary stats on a consistent basis, so his fantasy value will likely remain centered on his scoring ability.
