Barnes accumulated 23 points (8-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's 94-86 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes has been feeling it over the past two contests, combining for 44 points, nine rebounds, five steals and two assists. Part of his recent success could be attributed to coach Rick Carlisle sliding him down in the starting five to the small forward slot, inserting Nerlens Noel at center, and bumping Yogi Ferrell to the bench. While the sample size is small, it could be worth watching how Barnes' production is affected when Noel starts at center compared to when he doesn't, especially for DFS.
