Barton had 20 points (6-16 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal in Monday's win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Barton continues to play well out of the All-Star break, notching his third straight 20-point effort in 39 minutes of action. Over his last three games, the versatile swingman is up to 21.3 points, 3.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 5.0 three-pointers made (15-27 3Pt).

Barton had 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal Saturday in a 116-103 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Barton seems rejuvenated following the All-Star break festivities, posting consecutive stat lines with at least 20 points. He does not have a particularly high ceiling with an impending Gary Harris (thigh) return and rise of Michael Porter in mind. However, Barton can still offer serviceable value across deep-league formats and should be able to reap the benefits from his ongoing situation at this time.

Barton tallied 16 points (7-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Thursday's 113-103 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old came into tonight's game shooting just 43 percent from the field, so the efficient line is a welcomed sight. Barton has picked up the pace over his last four games, averaging 14.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers while shooting 53 percent from the field. He's locked in as the Nuggets starting forward and should continue seeing 30-35 minutes a night the rest of the way.

Barton scored 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes in Monday's win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets' rotation was thinned due to the COVID-19 protocols and other injuries, leaving Barton with the chance to top 30 minutes for only the second time in his last six games. He didn't shoot well from the field, but used volume to reach double-digit points for the second consecutive contest. Barton could continue to see plenty of minutes in the team's two remaining games until the All-Star break.

Barton scored seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt) to go along with two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Barton returned from a three-game absence due to personal reasons and immediately returned to his typical role and also started. However, he showed some rust and struggled to finish from the paint to post his lowest point total since Jan. 25. Barton has gotten off to a slow start overall this season, though was showing signs of improvement in the five contests prior to his absence by averaging 14.0 ponts, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds.

Barton (personal) will start Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barton (personal) will play Friday against the Cavaliers, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the past three games for personal reasons, Barton will be back in action Friday. It's not immediately clear if he'll start or come off the bench.

Barton (personal) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Barton has been attending to a personal issue and has missed the past three games. However, he could make his return Friday. If he does, he could rejoin the starting five considering he's started in his last 21 appearances.

Barton (personal) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Katy Winge of Altitude TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark three straight absences for Barton, who remains away from the Nuggets while tending to a personal matter. With Paul Millsap (knee) also sidelined and Gary Harris (thigh) questionable, JaMychal Green and rookie R.J. Hampton could again be set for increased roles. Meanwhile, Michael Porter Jr. was held scoreless in just 24 minutes against Boston on Tuesday night.

Barton (personal) will not be available for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

A personal matter will keep Barton out of a second straight game, and his status will be something to monitor considering the Nuggets are heading into a back-to-back set. Paul Millsap (knee) and Gary Harris (adductor) will also sit out Tuesday, so Denver will be down three of its top contributors.
