Scottie Barnes DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (hand) will play in Friday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Initially, there was concern he might miss a second consecutive game when the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. Fortunately, he has made a swift recovery from a hand sprain. Barnes enters Friday's game with three double-doubles over his last four outings. This stretch includes a fantastic performance against the Jazz a week ago, where he posted 22 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and two steals.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Barnes sat out of Wednesday's contest after aggravating his right hand injury. His absence resulted in Jamison Battle, Jared Rhoden, and Garrett Temple seeing more playing time in the rotation. Between the three, Rhoden is looking like the best fantasy option after finishing with 25 points and 12 rebounds during Wednesday's game.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (hand) won't play on Wednesday against Philadelphia. The 23-year-old has averaged 19.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks this season. While his three-point shooting needs work, his absence will open the door for others to get more involved. With RJ Barrett (personal), Immanuel Quickley (rest), Gradey Dick (knee), Brandon Ingram (ankle), Ja'Kobe Walter (hip), and Ochai Agbaji (ankle) also sidelined, the team will need to rely more on Jakob Poeltl, Orlando Robinson, Jamison Battle, Chris Boucher, A.J. Lawson, and Jared Rhoden versus the 76ers, a team that has won four of their last five contests.
