Barton recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Sunday's 105-87 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Barton's rebound totals surged back up after he only recorded five boards over the past two games. Barton's ability to make significant contributions in ancillary categories is a boon to his fantasy value and can usually offset a mediocre night of shooting. Lately, his shot volume has been on par with his usual average, but he's had occasional frigid nights from the floor over the last month.

Barton scored 14 points (3-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT) with five assists, four rebounds and two steals in a 106-96 victory over the Spurs on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Barton had another solid two-way performance despite not being terribly efficient with his shot. It was the forward's second consecutive game with multiple steals, and he has also taken advantage of an increased role as a distributor with Jamal Murray (knee) missing the last two games. Barton has nine total assists the past two contests.

Barton collected 24 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in a 134-119 victory over the Pistons on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Barton was able to make multiple threes for the third consecutive game in what was another well-rounded performance. Over his last three games, the forward has shot 50.0 percent from distance while also contributing at least one steal in each contest. Barton has averaged 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals over that stretch.

Barton closed with 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-109 victory over Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Barton put together another strong performance and after falling away over the past couple of weeks, he appears to be back on track. His versatility typically affords him significant minutes no matter the state of the team and while his fantasy ceiling is far from spectacular, he does enough to fall into must-roster territory across just about every format.

Barton recorded 19 points (7-14 FG, 3=6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and a steal across 35 minutes in Thursday's 101-94 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Barton continued to contribute as a member of Denver's starting five after an abysmal string of games. Coming into Thursday's contest, he had only converted six shots over his past four games, so it was a nice bounce-back for the eight-year veteran.

Barton totaled four points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and six assists in a 104-95 victory over the 76ers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Barton recorded a team-high assist total but failed to make a shot from the field for the second time in his last four games. The forward has really struggled over his last four games, averaging just 5.3 points on 19.4 percent shooting from the field and 16.7 percent shooting from three.

Barton was held scoreless (0-8 FG, 0-3 3pt) in Wednesday's loss to Toronto, contributing three rebounds, one steal and one block in 23 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was held scoreless for the first time this season, missing all eight of his attempts from the field. Before tonight's dud, Barton was averaging 17.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 1.2 steals over his previous 11 games. He will look to get back on track Friday when the Nuggets travel to New Orleans to play the Pelicans.

Barton scored 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with six rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Barton continued his strong overall production, though remained cold from three-point range. Across his last four games, he's gone only 7-for-32 from from beyond the arc, though has still averaged 18.0 points per game in span. He supplemented his scoring line with strong defensive stats, racking up multiple steals for only the third time in his last 15 games.

Barton collected 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 41 minutes during Friday's 131-127 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Barton continues to make the most of his opportunities, scoring in double digits for the ninth consecutive game. His production across the board has increased over the past six weeks and with Gary Harris (thigh) set to miss an extended period, Barton has quickly moved into must-roster territory.

Barton recorded 23 points (8-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes in a 129-104 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Barton cleared 20 points for the fourth consecutive game, continuing his run of elevated play following a slow start to the season. The Nuggets are likely to be without Gary Harris (thigh) for the foreseeable future, so Barton should be fairly insulated in a nightly 30-plus-minute role.
