Flirts with triple-double Barnes had 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Thursday's 124-114 win over the Hornets.

Impact Barnes put together one of his better all-around performances of the season, falling just short of a triple-double. He added a pair of blocks for good measure, rounding out the kind of effort managers have been hoping for. His production remains inconsistent, leaving him outside the top 80 for the season. Looking back, his ADP was simply too high, meaning managers are going to have to temper their expectations slightly, at least for the foreseeable future.

Teases triple-double against Pacers Barnes registered 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 40 minutes during Monday's 122-114 loss to Indiana.

Impact The second-year phenom came close to recording his second career triple-double but had to settle for his fifth straight game scoring in double digits. Barnes remains somewhat inconsistent, but he's impressive when he's dialed in, and over that five-game stretch he's averaging 18.0 points, 9.0 boards, 5.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Double-doubles in loss Barnes racked up 14 points (7-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 119-106 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Barnes finished with more field-goal attempts than points scored, but he managed to salvage his fantasy output with solid numbers in rebounds and steals. This was his third straight double-double, and while Barnes has endured a rough start to the campaign, he seems to be turning things around of late. He's averaging 15.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in December, numbers that represent a step in the right direction compared to what he did across 12 games in November -- 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists per contest.

Sniffs triple-double in loss Barnes totaled 17 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Barnes had been criticized for his poor play and lack of effort in recent weeks, but he certainly silenced some critics with a strong game here. He's now posted back-to-back double-doubles for the first time since early November, and while the overall numbers are disappointing, he has certainly taken a step back compared to his rookie season. He's averaging 14.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.8 steals per game this season.

Impact Barnes made his first six shots Friday and scored 15 of his 25 points in the first half. The hot shooting was a big change from his recent performance as he was just 4-for-19 from the field in the previous two games. It was his third double-double of the season and the second time he's scored at least 25 points and recorded double-digit assists in his last six games.
