EDGE Analysis

Barnes has been hot over the last four games, posting 12.0 points (48.4 FG, 50.0 3Pt, 100.0 FT), six rebounds, two assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 28 minutes per night. Amid all the off-court concerns, Barnes is averaging a season-high 30 minutes per appearance in the month of January. His ability to cover multiple positions and stretch the floor with suitable three-point shooting has allowed him to earn a fairly prominent role regardless of whether he starts or not.
