Inks standard deal with Sixers
Barlow agreed to a standard contract with Philadelphia prior to Thursday's game against the Lakers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analyse
Barlow's availability for Thursday was previously in question as the team scrambled to fill out a 15-man roster, which would have allowed him to play while remaining on a two-way contract. However, the big man will be eligible to suit up against LA after putting pen to paper on a standard deal. Barlow has made three straight starts for Philly, averaging 14.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.7 steals during that brief stretch.

Availability in flux for Thursday
Barlow's availability for Thursday's game against the Lakers is in question while the 76ers work to piece together a 15-man roster prior to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analyse
Barlow has spent all season as one of the 76ers' three two-way players, even though he's been a staple in the Philadelphia rotation when healthy and has started in 33 of his 40 appearances. While two-way players are eligible to be active for 50 games at the NBA level, teams aren't able to keep their two-way players active for more than 90 combined games when they have fewer than 15 players signed to standard contracts. The 76ers have already exhausted their 90-game, under-15 limit, so neither Barlow nor their other two-way players (Jabari Walker and MarJon Beauchamp) will be eligible to play until the team has 15 players signed to standard deals. In the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline and after inking Charles Bassey and Patrick Baldwin to 10-day deals, the 76ers currently have 14 players signed to standard contracts. The 76ers could still convert Barlow or one of the other two-way players to standard contracts or sign another player outside of the organization to ensure that he can suit up against the Lakers.

Erupts for big double-double
Barlow registered 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 128-113 win over the Clippers.
Analyse
Barlow was one of three starters to reach the 20-point threshold and combined with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey for 79 total points. This marks Barlow's first double-double since Nov. 28 and his second of the season through 39 games. He also set a new season high in rebounds, beating his previous best of 14 boards Dec. 4 against Golden State. Barlow is expected to be one of several players who will benefit from Paul George's (suspension) 25-game absence.

Starting Saturday
Barlow will start Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analyse
Barlow will move into the first unit and could see a boost in fantasy value for the foreseeable future -- the NBA suspended Paul George for 25 games Saturday. In 30 starts this season, Barlow has produced averages of 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.
