Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the second game in a row that Barrett has missed due to left knee swelling. His absence means that Dennis Schroder figures to once again move into the starting unit. Last game, Schroder finished with 16 points, three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes. He's well worth a look as a streaming option with Barrett sidelined for at least one more game.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) is still dealing with some swelling in his knee and is in danger of missing a third consecutive game. He's officially listed as questionable ahead of their Friday night contest against the Houston Rockets. Barrett has experienced some renewed fantasy relevance ever since getting traded to Toronto. In his short time with the Raptors, he's averaging 21.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.4 made threes, and 1.8 turnovers per game. If he's able to play, he should jump right back into the starting role. On the other hand, if he's unable to suit up, Gary Trent Jr. should remain in the starting lineup while Bruce Brown gets some more usage as well.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play Tuesday versus Chicago, missing a second consecutive game. The former Knick has landed on the shelf with swelling in his left knee. Barrett has enjoyed a great start to life in Toronto, averaging 21.0 points with 7.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Dennis Schroder joined the starting give in Barrett's absence on Sunday versus Atlanta, while Jordan Nwora had a big performance off the bench. Gradey Dick also has an opportunity to pick up extra work without Barrett.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett debuted for the team with a 19-point, nine-rebound effort in a 124-121 win over Cleveland on Monday. He shot an efficient 6-for-12 from the field and 6-for-8 at the line in 29 minutes as a starter. It was a solid debut for Barrett, who was 1-for-2 with the three-ball, but he had trouble handling the ball and committed five of the team's 11 turnovers. Barrett should clean up the turnovers once he's better adjusted to his new teammates. He typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, but Barrett celebrated his first appearance with his hometown team with a season-high in rebounding and should get plenty of confidence from the positive start.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett and guard Immanuel Quickley are both available to make their team debuts on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barrett and Quickley were both at morning shootaround, signaling they would be ready to rock. The former New York Knicks came over in Saturday's trade, and while it remains to be seen what type of role is initially in store for them, they should settle into very significant minutes north of the border before long. Barrett should eventually assimilate into OG Anunoby's role, which was good for 33.3 minutes per night before he was moved. Fantasy managers hope Barrett's play in his hometown of Toronto sparks greater offensive efficiency and defensive intensity. Quickley will have to battle with Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent Jr. for minutes, but he has a far greater chance to carve out a featured role than he did in the Big Apple behind All-Star Jalen Brunson.

The Knicks traded guard RJ Barrett (and Immanuel Quickley) to the Raptors on Saturday in exchange for forward OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa. Barrett has averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists since being selected No. 3 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. He's also been one of the most durable players for New York, appearing in at least 70 games in the last three seasons. However, the former Duke Blue Devil hasn't reached the elite level many had envisioned he would. He's also shot just 42.2% from the field and 34.2% from deep since entering the league, which has been frustrating for category managers. Nonetheless, a change of scenery could do wonders for Barrett, especially since he could become a focal point on the offensive end.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (illness) will return for Saturday's meeting with the Hornets. The former Duke Blue Devil has battled migraines, keeping him on the shelf for the Knicks' previous three games. As a result, Josh Hart took his spot in the rotation. However, Hart could still see enough minutes to remain relevant for fantasy managers, considering Quentin Grimes (wrist) is out again after spraining his left wrist on Wednesday against Atlanta.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Hornets. Barrett carried the same designation heading into Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. However, the migraines he's been battling kept him off the floor for a third straight contest. Nevertheless, if Barrett doesn't return for this one, Josh Hart, averaging 10.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in five starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the rotation.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (illness) could miss Friday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. The former Duke Blue Devil has battled migraine headaches, keeping him off the floor for the Knicks' previous meetings against Boston and Atlanta. At this rate, it's unknown how long the ailment will sideline him. However, Josh Hart, averaging 10.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in four starts this season, could remain a valuable fantasy commodity.

New York Knicks forward/guard RJ Barrett (knee) is set to make his return from a two-game absence and will play on Monday night against the Clippers. The 23-year-old had a strong start to the season before his injury, recording two 20-point games in the only matches where he played at least 30 minutes. This season, he's averaging just over 31 minutes per game and is likely to maintain that level of playing time on Monday. In the four games he's played this year, the 23-year-old is averaging 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's missed the last two games because of a knee injury, with Josh Hart taking his place in the rotation. Hart has flourished as a member of the starting lineup, averaging 9.0 rebounds, 8.5 points, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals. If Barrett misses his third consecutive contest, Hart should have a spot in every fantasy lineup.

According to Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau, forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old is considered day-to-day because of a sore left knee. Fortunately, the Knicks won't play again until Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, meaning there's a chance he could be back by then. Josh Hart, who had 11 points, eight boards, and three assists on Wednesday versus Cleveland, should remain a serviceable fantasy option. At the same time, Immanuel Quickley and Donte DiVincenzo are worth streaming in all formats.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (knee) was unable to play in the team's last contest on Wednesday and he's now listed as questionable for their Friday night game against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the game that Barrett missed, Josh Hart took over in the starting lineup, but they weren't able to grab a win against the Cavaliers. If Barrett has to miss another game, Hart would likely remain in the starting lineup while Donte DiVincenzo and Immanuel Quickley should see plenty of minutes off of the bench. Miles McBride is an outside shot at getting some time, but he's not recommended as a streaming option at this point.

New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barrett is nursing left knee soreness and will miss his first game of the campaign after netting 16 points with three triples over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 109-91 win over a banged-up Cleveland group. The 23-year-old former No. 3 overall pick is averaging 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 threes in 31.3 minutes, so points-league fantasy managers hope the former top-five pick can return on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Quentin Grimes, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo should all benefit and absorb additional minutes for head coach Tom Thibodeau, with Hart looking like the best fantasy bet on Wednesday.

New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barrett is managing left knee soreness after scoring 16 points with three three-pointers in 25 minutes of Tuesday's 109-91 win over a short-handed Cavaliers team. The 23-year-old former No. 3 overall pick is just making the top 150 in per-game 9-cat fantasy value so far, averaging 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 threes in 31.3 minutes. Barrett will likely see how he's feeling during pregame warmups to determine his availability for this battle. Some combination of Quentin Grimes, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo would be called upon to pick up the slack if Barrett misses Wednesday's rematch against the Cavs, with Hart figuring to be the most attractive DFS choice of the three in this scenario.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett led the way for a Canadian comeback as Team Canada prevailed over Germany on Sunday by a score of 113-112 in overtime. The young wing ended the game with 31 points on 13-for-14 shooting from the floor and a perfect 4-for-4 from beyond the arc. Barrett scored the last couple of buckets for Canada in the final seconds of regulation to force overtime and the rest of the team stepped up around him to bring the win home. This was a Sunday to remember for Knicks fans as their top two guards combined to shoot 22-for-23 in their respective games.

The Los Angeles Clippers have RJ Barrett on their radar, according to NBA insider Ian Begley. "I do know -- the Clippers over there-- there are some fans of RJ Barrett," Begley said on the latest episode of SNY's The Putback. The Knicks were linked with a move for Paul George this week and Barrett could very well end up going to L.A. in a deal involving the veteran star, but the trade certainly isn't imminent at the moment. Barrett will be entering his fifth NBA campaign next year, starting the first season of a four-year, $107 million extension.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett provided a much-needed strong performance in a Game 5 nine-point win. The 22-year-old ended the game with 26 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one block on 8-for-17 shooting overall and 3-for-8 from deep. Barrett has been the definition of inconsistent this season, but he has scored 20 or more points in four out of the five games in this series against Miami. He's even shot 46.5% overall and 41.2% from three which are both big improvements from the first-round series against Cleveland.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett had an impressive night on Tuesday in the postseason victory over the Miami Heat. Julius Randle (ankle) finished just shy of a triple-double, while Jalen Brunson (ankle) scored a game-high 30 points. However, Barrett was just as impactful offensively, dropping 24 points in 38 minutes. He also shot 8-for-17 from the field and 5-for-9 from deep, capping off an efficient showing. With the series knotted at one game a piece, both teams will square off on Saturday for Game 3. Barrett has played well during the postseason, and the minutes he'll be afforded by head coach Tom Thibodeau make him an ideal DFS option.

New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett led his team in points and even outscored Jimmy Butler in Sunday's Game 1 loss to Miami, putting up 26 points on 10-for-20 shooting. It was a struggle for him from downtown with a 1-for-5 effort and Barrett shot barely over 60 percent at the free-throw line, but it was still an efficient performance from him and he wasn't all about scoring either. Barrett typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, but he had nine rebounds and seven assists on Sunday with one steal. It's an encouraging sign for the Knicks during a time when everybody needs to step up to limit the impact of Julius Randle's (ankle) absence.
