Barnes supplied 17 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 121-82 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Although Barnes is a shot-dependent fantasy option, he's stepped up to absorb most of the production left by Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Malik Monk (knee). The veteran enjoyed a lot of playoff experience during his tenure with the Warriors, averaging 10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 71 appearances. He'll get a chance to further his playoff resume against his former team this week.

Barnes accumulated 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes' veteran presence will be critical to the team's success in the Play-In Tournament, Although the Kings are limping into the final week, Barnes has done a great job of absorbing the output lost by Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Malik Monk (knee).

Barnes closed Sunday's 107-77 win over Brooklyn with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across 11 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

With the Kings fighting for every win in a tightly contested Western Conference playoff race, Barnes has seen his usage dry up as coach Mike Brown gives more minutes to second-unit players like Trey Lyles and Davion Mitchell. Barnes has scored in single digits in six of the last nine games and played 15 minutes or less in two of the last three. The 31-year-old forward seems dangerously close to dropping out of the rotation entirely.

Barnes had 24 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-106 victory over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Malik Monk's (knee) has joined Kevin Huerter (shoulder) with a long-term injury, leaving the door wide open for Barnes to make a significant impact. He delivered on Sunday, making five three-pointers during an impressive sharpshooting display. The veteran will now assume a critical role during Sacramento's push to the playoffs.

Barnes closed with 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 107-103 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Despite coming up short in the final minute, Barnes provided excellent support amid Kevin Huerter's (shoulder) absence, and his veteran presence will serve the Kings well as they continue their playoff push. Barnes' record has been spotty during the month of March, but he's in line for an upward trend due to Huerter being sidelined. The lineup adjustment should result in increased shot volume, and Barnes usually finishes well when he has 10 or more shot attempts.

Barnes totaled nine points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds across 37 minutes during Saturday's 109-107 victory over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was a non-factor in the win, despite playing 37 minutes. In true Barnes fashion, he did nothing to excite fantasy managers, proving why he should be considered a viable asset in deeper formats only. With his best years now behind him, there is no reason to think anything changes for the remainder of the season and beyond.

Barnes posted 23 points (8-15 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes is on fire from beyond the arc, compiling 11-for-18 shooting from deep across his last two games, with Wednesday representing his fifth occasion of the season posting at least five made threes. Barnes' workload has fluctuated of late, and he isn't contributing much outside of the scoring column, but he is carrying serious shooting momentum into Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Barnes ended with 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 131-129 win over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes is on pace to average his fewest points per game since his final year in Golden State (2015-16) and career lows in rebounds and assists. It hasn't been a good campaign for the veteran, but he has scored in double figures in seven of Sacramento's last eight games. However, he's still not doing enough overall to be a must-roster player in standard leagues despite averaging 29.3 minutes per game.

Barnes chipped in 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 victory over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Players like Kevin Huerter and Keegan Murray have endured their share of struggles recently, but Barnes' veteran presence has kept the ship upright at the wing. The pure shooter remains effective, although he also tends to underperform with the occasional single-digit total. Barnes can achieve his upside with a dialed-in three-point shot, and he drilled four from downtown in the win.

Barnes notched 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and one rebound across 21 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes has failed to reach the 15-point mark in his last three appearances. While the veteran forward should continue to see decent minutes in a starting role, his production hasn't been eye-popping, particularly for fantasy purposes. Barnes is averaging 14.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game across six outings in February.
