Nets 31 points with four triples
Barnes registered 31 points (11-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 139-121 loss to Houston.
Analysis
Barnes has been unconscious from beyond the arc this season, drilling a ridiculous 55 percent of his three-point attempts, which is great to see after he only managed to convert 27.1 percent of his long-balls last year. He's not going to be this insanely good from three-point range all year long, but he has clearly worked on that aspect of his game, and adding a consistent three-point stroke should help boost his scoring numbers.

Meager production in loss
Barnes put up eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block over 30 minutes in Monday's 121-103 loss to San Antonio.
Analysis
Barnes could not follow up his 33/11/6 explosion versus Dallas on Tuesday, which may partly be attributed to the fact that Toronto was on the second leg of a back-to-back in San Antonio. Regardless, Barnes is looked to as the leader of this Raptors squad and needs to step up production-wise.

Double-doubles with full line
Barnes closed with 33 points (13-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 139-129 loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis
Barnes has been on a tear to begin the year, pumping out top-30 value behind averages of 24.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.7 steals per contest on 52.8 percent shooting from the field and 84.6 percent at the charity stripe. If he could work on cutting down the turnovers (3.0 per game) while maintaining his impressive free-throw shooting, he could easily work his way into the top-20 equation.

Tacks three steals in loss
Barnes put up 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 36 minutes in Friday's 122-116 loss to Milwaukee.
Analysis
Barnes was less productive offensively Friday but was able to make his first three-pointers of the season. Over the first two games, it appears the bulk of the offensive opportunities will be split between Barnes, Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett moving forward.
