Raptors' Scottie Barnes doesn't need to be a scorer, but he can't be a spectator Barnes should be involved, even if only as a decoy, most of the time at the end of close games. He watched from the corner Sunday.
Gets little help in loss Barnes supplied 28 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 135-106 loss to Houston.
Impact The third-year forward led the Raptors in scoring once again, but only two other Toronto players even scored in double digits on the night. Barnes may be wearing down a bit under the weight of having to carry the entire team following the departures of Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby -- in 16 games since the beginning of January Barnes is averaging 18.9 points, 5.7 assists, 5.6 boards, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 27.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Team-high 23 in loss Barnes racked up a team-high 23 points (9-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Clippers.
Impact It's the fourth time in the last five games Barnes has produced 20 or more points, although the fifth game was a nine-point dud against the Knicks. The third-year wing is the unquestioned No. 1 option in Toronto with Pascal Siakam gone, and while his consistency still leaves something to be desired, Barnes is averaging 19.4 points, 6.6 boards, 5.4 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals in 16 games since Christmas.

Teases triple-double Monday Barnes posted 22 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and six blocks over 41 minutes during Monday's 108-100 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact The third-year forward continues to flash his sky-high upside, nearly recording his third triple-double of the season while also setting a new career high in blocks. Barnes has racked up multiple rejections in three straight contests and nine of the last 15, adding another category to his fantasy arsenal, and over that 15-game stretch he's averaging 19.1 points, 6.7 boards, 5.5 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.9 blocks and 1.1 steals.

Pours in 31 against Chicago Barnes ended Thursday's 116-110 loss to the Bulls with 31 points (11-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, three blocks and three steals in 37 minutes.
Impact The third-year forward came within a point of tying his career high. Ceiling games figure to be a common occurrence for Barnes the rest of the way in 2023-24 with Pascal Siakam now a Pacer, as the fourth overall pick in the 2021 Draft is now the unquestioned top dog for the Raptors. Barnes has scored 20 or more points in 10 of the last 14 games, averaging 20.6 points, 6.9 boards, 5.4 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals over that stretch.

Records double-double in loss Barnes notched 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Monday's 105-96 loss to Boston.
Impact Barnes didn't have his best shooting outing Monday, though it was a game where most of the Raptors' offense struggled against one of the best defenses in the NBA. However, Barnes still found a way to make his presence felt since he contributed in peripheral stats while also notching his first double-double since Dec. 29. Barnes is averaging 16.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the start of January.

Leads team with 26 points Barnes registered 26 points (11-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 40 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 132-131 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Coach Darko Rajakovic had a lot to say about the referees' treatment of Barnes after the game, and he made a convincing point. Barnes only saw two free-throw attempts in the loss, and there were several drives to the basket where he was manhandled by Anthony Davis without a whistle. Despite relentless pressure, Barnes delivered the best line on the team, and his long-term prospects should improve with the recent backcourt upgrades and the trade rumors surrounding Pascal Siakam.

Comes close to double-double Barnes closed Wednesday's 116-111 victory over the Grizzlies with 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 40 minutes.
Impact Barnes finished just two assists away from recording a double-double Wednesday, and while Immanuel Quickley has been featuring as the starting point guard since being acquired from the Knicks a few days ago, Barnes has been much more involved in the playmaking department this season. The third-year forward is having a career-best season so far, averaging 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game since the start of December.
