Scottie Barnes Cooks Up A Good Line
2 years agoToronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes enjoyed his Saturday night against Atlanta, racking up 27 points in a 114-103 loss with 12 rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block. He led the team in both rebounding and scoring, shooting 9-for-18 from the field and hitting 9-for-10 at the charity stripe. Barnes is going through a strange spell right now, as his last five performances include three 20-point efforts but also two seven-point duds. However, he is generally busy in every area, so Barnes still has fantasy value on poor scoring nights. Things could be tricky for him offensively again in the next matchup against the Knicks, who are a very good defensive team. One of Barnes' recent seven-point outings was against New York, and he was even limited to just two points when the teams met for the first time this season.
