Will Barton Posts A Plus-28 Rating In First Start Since Injury
6 years agoDenver Nuggets small forward/shooting guard Will Barton chipped in 14 points, five rebounds and five assists along with one block over 26 minutes in Friday's victory over the Suns. The 6-foot-6 wing was 5-for-11 from the field, 1-for-5 from the three-point line and 3-or-3 from the free throw line. He made his first start since returning from injury after coming off the bench in the previous five games. His plus-28 rating was a team and personal season high as the 28-year-old has now recorded a positive rating in five of his eight contests this season. While the seventh-year pro has shot the ball inconsistently lately, with the past two games being an exception, Barton has done an excellent job rebounding and distributing the basketball. The Memphis product, who has made five of his last 10 three-point attempts, will look to score in double-figures for a third straight game against the 76ers on Saturday.

Will Barton Unavailable On Wednesday
2 years agoToronto Raptors forward Will Barton (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran forward is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he'll sit this game out. Barton didn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway, but Gary Trent Jr. should see a slight bump in value with Barton sidelined. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Barton because he normally doesn't play much when healthy anyway.

Will Barton Listed Out On Friday
2 years agoWashington Wizards guard/forward Will Barton (back) won't take the court Friday against Sacramento. The veteran is listed as out with lower back soreness. Barton had a pair of really nice outings only last week, but the team is starting to get healthy and his minutes have taken a big dip in the most recent games. There will be another returnee in Delon Wright (hamstring) on Friday. With Deni Avdija (back) also ruled out for the game, Corey Kispert looks set to play a big part in the contest.

Will Barton Scores 22 Points Off Of The Bench
2 years agoWashington Wizards guard Will Barton contributed in a big way to the offense on Wednesday night. The tenth-year guard ended the game with 22 points, nine assists, two rebounds, and one steal as the Wizards dropped this contest against the Denver Nuggets. Barton has been quite inconsistent but serves as a quality spot-start candidate across all deeper fantasy leagues. He also can be a good plug-and-play choice for certain matchups in DFS.

Will Barton Remains Out Saturday
2 years agoWashington Wizards guard/forward Will Barton (foot) is forced to sit out a second consecutive game Saturday versus the Clippers. The veteran is nursing a sore left foot. With a number of other key rotational players also unavailable for the game, Jordan Goodwill should fill a major role, and the likes of Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert will be asked to eat up as many minutes as they can. Goodwill posted a career-high 19 points with four rebounds, three assists and five steals in 34 minutes off the bench Friday against Indiana, and he should be set for another big performance Saturday.
