Barnes (thumb) scored 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-6 3 Pt) with three rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes in a 103-101 victory over the Pistons on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off the bench due to a thumb injury, Barnes would notch his highest offensive total since a Dec. 14 match-up against the Wizards. Hitting a season-high six shots from beyond the arc, Barnes outplayed Tony Allen, who managed two points on 1-of-4 shooting in a starting role. Barnes, who missed just one game with the injury, will seek confirmation from the team's medical staff to play Saturday against the Knicks.
