Too much risk, little reward in casting RJ Barrett as Raptors' primary scorer and facilitator Both of RJ Barrett's two-career triple-doubles came in losses, but the latest milestone highlighted the need to help reduce his load.
Posts triple-double Thursday Barrett ended Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami with 13 points (5-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks in 34 minutes.
Impact Barrett had an impressive showing Thursday and posted his second triple-double of the season. However, it's hard to overlook the lack of efficiency with his shot, as the six-year veteran struggled badly from the field. The Raptors are missing Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle), so Barrett will likely remain the team's point guard due to the lack of another viable option for the role. This means he's quite likely to have a high usage rate in the coming games, giving him a high floor in most formats regardless of his shooting or efficiency struggles.

Goes for 30 points Monday Barrett recorded 30 points (13-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 113-108 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Barrett reached the 30-point mark for the seventh time this season, and despite finishing just two boards shy of a double-double against his former team, the Raptors still came up short on a night where they also lost Scottie Barnes to an ankle injury. The absence of Barnes could result in a more significant role on offense for Barrett, who's averaging 26.2 points per game since the beginning of December.

Posts double-double Barrett registered 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Barrett had a rough shooting performance Thursday, but he still found a way to make a sizable fantasy impact due to his rebounding numbers. This was Barrett's fourth double-double of the season, and the 11-rebound haul represented a season-high mark for him. It also extended his impressive scoring run, as he's now scored at least 15 points in 11 contests in a row.

Explodes for 37 points Barrett racked up 37 points (15-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 victory over the Heat.
Impact Barrett's numbers have been brilliant recently, and the return of Scottie Barnes hasn't affected his production in the slightest. Sunday's total came two points short of his season high, which recorded two weeks ago against the Pacers. The powerful one-two punch of Barrett and Barnes will serve the Raptors well as they try to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Impact Barrett led the Raptors in scoring Friday, and he continues to deliver consistent high-end numbers every time he steps on the hardwood. Even though Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl have been productive fantasy options as well, Barrett has strong upside in his own right and has been living up to the hype. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his last eight games, averaging 24.6 points, 7.0 assists and 6.9 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Impact The 24-year-old wing nearly recorded his second triple-double of the season, with the first coming Nov. 16 against the Celtics. Barrett has dropped at least 16 points in seven straight games, averaging 24.6 points, 7.0 boards, 7.0 assists and 2.0 threes over that stretch as he continues to see career-best usage on a Raptors roster that doesn't have many other options.

Impact Barrett didn't have a good shooting performance Sunday, although he salvaged his fantasy line with his strong contributions in other categories, such as rebounds and assists.

He's averaging 26.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game over his last five contests.
