Barton scored four points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and collected six rebounds in 26 minutes during Wednesday's win against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rough night for Barton, who was responsible for a team-high five turnovers while managing just one made basket. The Nuggets managed just 87 points in this surprising win, so statistics were modest throughout. Still, the high-flying swingman had been averaging 15.7 points and 6.1 rebounds over his last 13 games.

Barton contributed 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and a steal over 31 minutes in Friday's 116-110 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

After a couple of rough patches in January, the sixth man extraordinare seems to appeared to find his touch again leading up to the All-Star break. He picked up where he left off Friday, recording double-digit points for the sixth time in the past seven contests and coming a rebound short of his third double-double of February. Barton appears to be locked in to a groove once again, and can be a valuable source of production across multiple categories in all fantasy formats despite his bench role.

Barton didn't advance out of the first round in Saturday's All-Star Slam Dunk competition, which was eventually won by Zach LaVine.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets guard had the showmanship down pat, as he came out for his initial dunk dressed as Michael Jackson from the Thriller video compete with zombie backup dancers, but Barton wasn't able to land his second attempt and finished with the lowest score among the four competitors.

Barton contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in 22 minutes during the Nuggets' 103-92 win over the Pistons on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Through the first six February games, Barton is averaging 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, one block, and 0.8 steals in 26 minutes per contest. Though he has only seen 30-plus minutes six times since Danilo Gallinari returned to the lineup on Jan. 2, Barton is still providing counting stats that make him well worthy of a roster spot in essentially all formats.

Barton supplied 19 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block across 29 minutes in Sunday's 101-96 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Barton's minutes still seem to remain fairly variable from game to game, but he's been a reliable producer for his fantasy owners more often than not lately. He's topped 15 points in all but two of his last eight games, and is averaging 6.4 boards while shooting 51 percent from the field over that span.

Barton contributed 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, and one block in 33 minuets during the Nuggets' 112-93 win over the Raptors on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After hitting a brief rough patch, Barton has gone for 17 points, five rebounds, and two assists in 27 minutes per appearance over his last five games. The 25-year-old is once again shooting the ball with confidence, and earning ample playing time off the bench. Barton burst onto the scene this season, and he has been among the top sixth men in basketball.

Barton had 23 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a block in a loss against the Celtics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Barton had over 20 points for the second consecutive game, and this is a great sign for his fantasy owners. After averaging 20.8 points in December, Barton looked to be dead in the water for most of January, where he's averaged 12.3 points. The reason that number looks a little more respectable is because he's put together games of 20+ points in four of his last eight. It is still one the NBA's biggest oddities, as to why Barton doesn't get more of a consistent run on the court.

Barton scored 21 points (6-15 FG, 8-9 FT, 1-2 3Pt) to go along with eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes off the bench Tuesday versus the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year guard was treated to his largest helping of minutes since the overtime game versus Golden State on Jan 2., as the Nuggets were down 16 at the half and went small in an effort to make up ground. Barton responded with exactly 21 points for the fourth time this month, although his minutes and production have fluctuated in between since he moved back to a reserve role. He has also struggled mightily with his shot this month, as Tuesday marked the 10th time in 12 games that he shot under 50 percent from the field. He has remained rather effective on the boards, however, and is averaging 6.4 rebounds this month despite the inconsistent minutes. Barton is still capable of delivering productive outings similar to Tuesday's on a given night, but his overall fantasy outlook would benefit from a more prominent role with the Nuggets.

Barton registed 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 29 minutes in Thursday's 102-101 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old bounced back from an atypical six-point outing against the Thunder on Tuesday to post his fourth double-digit scoring outing in the last six games. He did continue struggling from beyond the arc, shooting under 40 percent from long range for the sixth time in 10 January contests. He's scuffled from the with his shot overall during the month, tallying a 35.7 percent accuracy rate from the field, and 30 percent from beyond the arc. The sub-par numbers have resulted in a drop of eight points per game in Barton's scoring average (12.0) compared to December's figure (20.8).

Barton scored 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding six rebounds, three assists and a block in 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

He was huge down the stretch, scoring 15 of his points in the fourth quarter as the Nuggets overcame a 12-point deficit at halftime with a massive 75 points in the second half. Barton has had much less success in January than he did in December, averaging just 12.5 points on 35.4 percent field goal shooting on the month, but he's now popped for 20-plus points in two of his last three games, so another hot streak could be on its way.
