Barnes will sit out Tuesday's game against the Nuggets for rest, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both Barnes and Wesley Matthews are surprising late scratches for the Mavericks, as they provided no indication prior to the game about those lineup moves. Dorian Finney-Smith is expected to start at small forward in Barnes' place, but he hasn't necessarily been the most intriguing fantasy play, even when he sees a starter's workload. Consider Barnes status for Wednesday's finale against the Grizzlies up in the air at this point in time as well.
