Scottie Barnes

Toronto will be down a number of key players, but Barrett and Scottie Barnes will be available and presumably lead the charge against an equally shorthanded Nets squad. Expect Barrett and Barnes to handle their typical workloads in this matchup of tank-worthy proportions.

Barnes had a rough night shooting the ball, but the other aspects of his game were solid. He came close to recording a triple-double and add five defensive stats as Toronto snapped a four-game losing streak. Sure, they may want those losses to pile up, but for fantasy managers, this was another strong game from Barnes. Unfortunately, their final three games of the week are all against fellow tanking teams in the East. Don't be surprised if Barnes starts seeing fewer minutes, or if they hold him out of games altogether.

Barrett and Agbaji are the only holdovers from the lineup that started Sunday's loss to the Spurs. Quickley and Poeltl returning will push Jamal Shead and Colin Castleton to the bench, while Battle is starting for RJ Barrett (rest).

While Barnes has an excellent night shooting the basketball, fantasy managers in leagues that count turnovers took a beating. The Raptors wing was responsible for six turnovers, and he's had at least five in three of his last four outings. Barnes' status as a former All-Star means he's held to a different standard regarding the league's availability rules. That may benefit fantasy managers as the Raptors play out the rest of their season. However, the Raptors begin a four-game Week 21 in Washington on Monday, so it would be unsurprising if Barnes were held out.

Barnes closed Thursday's 117-114 loss to Golden State with 29 points (11-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one block across 34 minutes.
