Absent from injury report
Barnes (quadriceps) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
The Raptors were expected to list Barnes as questionable with a quadriceps contusion, but he practiced Monday and appears to be ready to roll for Tuesday. Through nine February appearances, the All-Star forward averaged 17.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.9 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Questionable for Tuesday
Barnes is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks with a thigh bruise, per Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca.
Analysis
Barnes participated in Monday's practice, which should put him on the right side of the questionable marker for Tuesday. If the All-Star forward is ultimately unable to suit up, Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead would likely see enough playing time to draw streaming attention in most fantasy leagues.

Cleared to play Wednesday
Barnes (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Barnes bruised his right quadriceps late in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Thunder. He was initially listed as questionable for the second leg of Toronto's back-to-back set Wednesday, but he went through morning shootaround without any setbacks and has been given the green light to play against San Antonio. Since Feb. 1, Barnes has averaged 17.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.9 steals over 33.1 minutes per game.

Bruises right quad Tuesday
Barnes bruised his right quadriceps during Tuesday's 116-107 loss to the Thunder and will be listed questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. He finished Tuesday's contest with 15 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, four blocks, three steals and three rebounds.
Analysis
Though Barnes ended with well below his season averages in points (19.1 per game) and rebounds (8.3), he made up for it by pacing the Raptors in assists and upping his production on the defensive end. The All-Star forward is now up to 1.6 blocks per game on the season, tops among all non-centers in the NBA. In the short term, fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on Barnes' status while he manages the quad injury, which he appeared to sustain late in Tuesday's contest. Toronto won't hold a morning shootaround Wednesday, so clarity on Barnes' status may not arrive until shortly before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff against the Spurs.
