Barton is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers due to a non-COVID illness, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barton's late addition to the injury report is a bad sign regarding his availability Wednesday. However, the 31-year-old forward is averaging just 2.0 points and 0.8 assists in 8.8 minutes across his first four games in Toronto, so his potential absence shouldn't have much fantasy impact.

Barton had five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes during Monday's 118-113 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

After going scoreless across 11 total minutes in his first two appearances with Toronto, the veteran wing has now played double-digit minutes in back-to-back games and posted his highest-scoring outing as a Raptor on Monday. However, his current role isn't enough to warrant fantasy relevancy, so it's safe leaving him on the waiver wire in standard leagues.

Barton will be available to make his debut Tuesday against the Bulls, reports Oren Weisfeld of the Toronto Star.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors typically run a tight rotation, so it will be interesting to see what kind of role they envision for Barton, who signed with the team Tuesday. With his resume, Barton has a good shot of becoming a big part of the second unit once he gets up to speed with his teammates.

The Raptors signed Barton on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barton recently reached a buyout with the Wizards and will join a playoff contender in Toronto. The veteran forward has played in 29 career postseason games between the Nuggets and Blazers earlier in his career, and he's shot 35.5 percent from deep across 12 seasons in the NBA. Barton figures to garner a prominent role behind Gary Trent and OG Anunoby when he's up to speed with his new squad.

Barton finalized a contract buyout with the Wizards on Tuesday, and he'll become a free agent when he clears waivers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barton averaged 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 19.4 minutes across 40 games for Washginton this season before falling out of head coach Wes Unseld's rotation in late December. He's appeared in just nine of the Wizards' past 18 contests and posted 5.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 9.8 minutes during that stretch. Given the veteran forward's offensive track record, he'll likely draw interest from contending teams who are looking for a little more firepower off the bench.

The Wizards are buying out Barton's contract Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barton is averaging 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 19.6 minutes across 40 games for Washington this season. The 32-year-old guard will likely receive significant interest from some teams in the free-agent market.

Barton racked up 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran wing was the only member of Washington's second unit to score in double digits on the night. Barton had been a DNP - Coach's Decision for four straight games and eight of the last 10 prior to Monday, but it's not clear whether his return to the rotation was to showcase him for a possible trade or simply due to a lack of other options with Bradley Beal (foot) sidelined.

Barton ended with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Barton remains an afterthought when it comes to fantasy, logging just 15 minutes in the victory. Prior to Tuesday, he had not even been in the rotation, highlighting what a struggle it has been since arriving in Washington. At this point, it appears as though a trade is Barton's only chance at redeeming himself. For now, however, managers can focus their attention elsewhere.

Barton posted no counting stats across two minutes during Friday's 119-100 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing zero minutes in the previous game, Barton managed to get on the court Friday night for less than three minutes, contributing no positive statistics. This was also without Bradley Beal who sat out (hamstring). The veteran guard's minutes had been gradually decreasing over the past couple weeks, and it seems he's now almost completely out of the rotation for the time being.

Barton has been a DNP-Coach's Decision across the past two games.

EDGE Analysis

Barton has struggled after being traded from Denver to Washington during the offseason. The veteran is shooting just 37.1 percent from the field and has the worst point differential on the team (-11.4 per 100 possessions). It's not clear if he'll re-enter the rotation, and the front office may look to unload him at the deadline.
