Pops for 20 in Sunday's win Barnes ended with 20 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 victory over the Pistons. Impact The second-year forward continues to roll, scoring in double digits in nine straight games and averaging 16.3 points, 7.8 boards, 4.6 assists and 1.4 threes over that stretch. Barnes hasn't taken a huge step forward statistically since his Rookie of the Year campaign, but he'll remain locked into a starting spot down the stretch even if the Raptors juggle their starting lineup once recently-acquired Jakob Poeltl is up to speed with the new system and players like OG Anunoby (wrist) get healthy.
