Barbosa scored six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with three rebounds and three assists in Tuesday night's win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
This was the third straight game that Barbosa's cracked the 20-minute mark. He's been getting some extra minutes due to injuries to others, most notably Andre Iguodala (hamstring) but also Brandon Rush (knee) on Tuesday. While the extra run hasn't translated into a significant bump in scoring, the situation provides an opportunity for Barbosa, who doesn't need much playing time to heat up.

Barbosa recorded nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, and one assist in 18 minutes during the Warriors' 109-104 victory versus the Timberwolves on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa is having his best month of 2015-16, with averages of 7.5 points on 55 percent from the field, two rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 18 minutes per appearance. Andre Iguodala has dealt with hamstring and ankle injuries in March, which has helped allow Barbosa to pick up a little more playing time. Still, he is averaging just under 16 minute per game on the season, and his role hasn't changed all that much. With that being said, if the Warriors decide to rest Stephen Curry some down the stretch, Barbosa could be in line for another small spike in minutes.

Barbosa scored 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 17 minutes in Tuesday night's overtime win over Atlanta. This was just his second double-digit scoring effort in the past 15 games.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa got more minutes than normal Tuesday, which generally doesn't happen in close games, but the Warriors were without key members Stephen Curry (ankle) and Andre Iguodala (hamstring). As such, the Warriors needed more from Barbosa and he was able to deliver it Tuesday. The 33-year-old plays a supporting role in the Golden State Warriors show, a role he's accepted, and doesn't usually offer much value on any given night.

Barbosa contributed four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, and one rebound in 15 minutes during the Warriors' 134-121 win against the Wizards on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Through 36 games, Barbosa is averaging 6.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 threes, and 0.1 blocks in 15 minutes per appearance. The 33-year-old guard is still a blur off the bench, but he is just one of the many weapons on a deep and talented team.

Barbosa scored 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 FT) in Friday night's win over Indiana. It was his second straight double-digit scoring effort.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa is finding his shot after being shelved for nine games due to a shoulder injury, connecting on 19-of-34 from the field in the past five games. Barbosa is often the man on the second unit the Warriors look to for scoring, so having him back in the lineup and producing allows the Warriors to rest starters Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Barbosa provided 15 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT, 4-4 FT) and two assists over 20 minutes in Thursday's 116-98 victory over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old actually outscored starting two-guard Klay Thompson, and posted his best scoring total since his season-high 21 points against the Suns back on Nov. 27. In only his second game back following a nine-game absence due to a shoulder injury, it was encouraging to see Barbosa's minutes jump up from the nine he'd received Wednesday against the Nuggets. The veteran may begin seeing the minutes in the high teens that he regularly received earlier in the season, but this will likely vary night-to-night based on game flow and Thompson's own performances.

Barbosa scored five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in nine minutes Wednesday night in Golden State's loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa, who had missed eight games due to a shoulder injury, was activated for the Warriors' previous game, but never got off the bench so this marked his first game action since the Christmas Day win over Cleveland. Golden State's backcourt has been dealing with at least one injury since late December, and Wednesday's game was the first time since then that all bodies were available. Barbosa's return to the rotation impacted Ian Clark, who was a DNP-CD for the first time since Dec. 18.

Barbosa (shoulder) is active for Monday's game against the Heat, broadcaster John Dickinson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa entered Monday as questionable with a left shoulder sprain that kept him off the court for the past eight games. He only averages 14 minutes per game this season, and there's no reason to believe he'll see anything more than that Monday, especially after coming off an extended absence.

Barbosa (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbosa has missed seven games with a left shoulder sprain he suffered on Christmas Day against the Cavaliers. If he is able to play Monday night he is likely to see his minutes monitored to ensure he doesn't suffer any setbacks to the injury. He will likely compete with Shaun Livingston and Ian Clark for minutes off the bench.
