RJ Barrett Pours In 29 Points Against Celtics
4 years agoNew York Knicks guard RJ Barrett posted 29 points, five rebounds, and two assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Boston. The youngster has been a little inconsistent in the past few games but has nevertheless posted at least 22 points in three of the past five games. Barrett remains a solid component of this offense and he should be of decent fantasy value as the season comes to a close soon. Up next is a tough matchup against a sturdy Grizzlies defense on Friday.

RJ Barrett Drops Out Of Raptors Lineup For Personal Reasons
4 days agoToronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss his second game of the month for personal reasons. Barrett is among seven Raptors players who have been ruled out for the contest, and the list could potentially grow before tip-off. A.J. Lawson exploded for a career-high 32 points on Monday against the Washington Wizards and might be a key offensive cog again Wednesday night. The likes of Jamal Shead and Jared Rhoden are also set to be more involved in the rotation.

RJ Barrett To Be Rested On Friday
1 week agoToronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (rest) will not play in Friday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Toronto opens a back-to-back set on Friday and Barrett will be rested for the first leg. He will presumably be brought back into the lineup for the second game on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. Barrett's absence could give a further boost to Ja'Kobe Walter, who has already benefited from Gradey Dick's (knee) health issues. Jamison Battle may also get meaningful action in Friday's game.

RJ Barrett Available Versus Cavaliers
1 month agoToronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (concussion) will return to the court on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is back in the lineup after missing five games due to a concussion. Barrett has delivered consistent fantasy value throughout the campaign but may need some time to get back to his best after missing nearly two weeks of action. His return will likely push Ochai Agbaji to the bench, which takes away most of his fantasy appeal.

RJ Barrett Remains Sidelined Tuesday
1 month agoToronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (concussion) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. He remains in concussion protocol, missing a fifth consecutive game. Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter have taken turns starting during Barrett's absence. Both players have performed well, but Walter tends to be more consistent. He averages 11.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals for the month. Agbaji has contributed 10.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals across five February contests. Barrett's absence also gives Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley more scoring chances.
