Barnes provided 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes got off to a hot start in this one, scoring 13 points while shooting 3-for-4 from the field and 6-for-7 from the charity stripe before cooling off in the final two quarters of play (1-for-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT). The North Carolina product has knocked down at least one triple in seven straight contests, scoring in double digits in each matchup along the way.

Barnes ended with 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes scored in double digits for the fourth game in a row, a stretch he's already accomplished three times in the current campaign. The veteran forward is having the worst season of his career since leaving the Warriors and definitively his worst campaign since joining Sacramento with averages of 13.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. That shouldn't be surprising, however, as Barnes sits below Domantas Sabonis, De'Aaron Fox, Keegan Murray and even Malik Monk when it comes to the offensive pecking order.

Barnes contributed 22 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes came into the contest having averaged just 8.7 points on 42.9 percent shooting over his past three games. He snapped the slump with a team-leading scoring total in the victory, finishing with 20-plus points for the first time since Nov. 22. Barnes has recorded five games of 20 points or more so far this season, but he's also finished with single-digit scoring in eight contests.

Barnes logged 27 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-11 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 137-129 victory over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was incredibly efficient shooting Sunday as he scored more than 20 points for the first time all year. After making just 36.8 percent of his shots in the season's first nine games, he's sunk 61.2 percent of his tries in the last six contests and is averaging 16.8 points in that span. For the year, he's averaging 11.6 points per game, his lowest production since 2014-15.

Barnes notched nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 win over Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was uninspiring again in the win, scoring in single-digits for the sixth time this season. The fact his value is directly tied to his ability to score, you certainly have a recipe for disaster when that is not happening. He is currently outside the top 150 in standard formats, meaning he should be viewed as a streaming candidate on most nights.

Barnes finished Wednesday's 127-120 win over the Cavaliers with 20 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was a non-factor in Monday's loss to the Warriors, going 0-for-4 from the field in a scoreless performance. He shook that off to finish second on Sacramento in scoring Wednesday while leading the Kings with nine boards to come up just shy of a double-double. Barnes had shot a miserable 33.3 percent from the field over his previous five games, so his sharp 6-for-8 line against the Cavs was a welcome sight for both the player and his fantasy managers.

Barnes closed with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes played his second-fewest minutes of the season and took his second-fewest amount of shots in Monday's loss. He's been inconsistent this season and is averaging just 9.9 points on 36.8 percent shooting, 5.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists. The forward's efficiency should trend upward, but his usage remains at risk with a wealth of aggressive teammates around him.

Barnes finished with 16 points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 115-108 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes had one of his better all-around games of the season, highlighting just what an empty start it has been for the veteran. Despite continuing to log significant minutes, Barnes currently sits outside the top 200 in standard formats. Given he has a proven inability to produce anything but points and triples, he should be viewed as just a streaming candidate moving forward.

Barnes had four points (1-1 FG, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 loss to Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was seemingly on thin ice Sunday, as Sacramento turned to the bench to replace his minutes. Across his first two contests, Barnes had averaged 8.5 points and 7.5 rebounds, while shooting 33.3 percent from the field. His usage is a trend to monitor, but he's losing fantasy lineup appeal until proven otherwise.

Barnes totaled 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's win over Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes remains arguably the most boring fantasy asset available, and yet he continues to chug along, putting up top-100 value. He is slated to begin the season as the starting power forward, a role that will likely afford him sufficient minutes in which to remain relevant. That role could change down the stretch, especially if the Kings fall out of playoff contention sooner rather than later. Until that point, he should be viewed as a high-floor, low-ceiling target in the later rounds of drafts.
