Scottie Barnes scored 41 points with 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 0 blocks and 1 three on 19-of-34 shooting and 2-of-3 from the line in 39 minutes as a starter on Friday, October 30, when Toronto lost to Orlando 121-114 at home.

The line was well above his 18.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.5 blocks and 0.9 threes over last season (80 games), but Barnes was already producing 42.0 fantasy points a game over that span and is projected for 41.3 this year. He ranks 12th overall and remains an elite asset in both nine-category and points leagues.

Scottie Barnes

Barnes scored 41 points, converting 55.9 per cent of his field goals while logging 39 minutes. His season usage sits at 30.6 per cent, though his 49.0 per cent true shooting percentage trails the efficiency he showed last season. Over five games this year he is averaging 24.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 32.2 minutes a game.

The explosion lifts his counting numbers for the young season, but his fantasy value was already established before this game. He remains a top-15 asset across formats, providing elite production in points, rebounds, assists and defensive categories. Toronto has one game left this week, on Friday, then no games next week.

What to do

• Keep Scottie Barnes in your starting lineup for Toronto's remaining game this week.

• Do not expect Barnes to sustain 41-point outputs, but his overall fantasy profile remains elite.

• Plan around Toronto's zero-game schedule next week when setting your roster.
