Barrett was a very last minute scratch on Sunday after feeling under the weather and was questionable Tuesday.

The Knicks now list Barrett on the injury report ahead of time as he may miss another game depending on how he feels throughout the day. Immanuel Quickley got the spot start Sunday, but did not play too well. Quickley would likely start again if Barrett sits and would be someone to keep an eye on.

He's also seeing regressions in his three-point shooting and every traditional stat except points per game.

The 22-year-old was listed as doubtful, so there was a little hope he'd return for this game.

He has missed each of the last five games and has been sidelined since December 27th due to right index finger laceration. His absence has allowed Immanuel Quickley to play big minutes in the rotation. Quickly is currently providing top-75 value over the last two weeks. However, his fantasy value is going to take a hit once Barrett gets back on the court. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday. Although, it sounds like Barrett isn't quite ready to get back on the court yet.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) will have to sit out another game with a laceration on his right index finger. He has missed the last four consecutive games with the same injury and will officially miss a fifth. Immanuel Quickley has entered the starting lineup and he's only rostered in 59 percent of leagues at the moment. After him, another streaming option could be either Miles McBride or Evan Fournier. Both of them have received some more playing time, but they're harder to predict since their opportunities fluctuate.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) will officially miss his third consecutive game due to a laceration on his index finger. The fact that the team listed him out again this far in advance shows that the laceration is still pretty significant.

New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett had a special night on Friday against Chicago, shooting 14-for-20 from the field en route to a season-high 44 points. He hit 6-for-6 from deep and was 10-for-13 with his free throws. Incredibly, the Knicks couldn't turn Barrett's big performance into a victory, with the team blowing a three-point lead inside the final 30 seconds of action. In 39 minutes of playing time, Barrett completed his line with seven, rebounds, four assists and six turnovers. His scoring record stands at 46 points, so Barrett came very close to having a career night.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett took hold of the reins on Sunday and helped the team beat the Sacramento Kings by a score of 112-99. The 22-year-old played 44 minutes in this contest and ended with 27 points, nine rebounds, six assists, three steals, and two blocks. He shot 9-for-21 from the floor and 7-for-9 from the charity stripe. While he also had three turnovers, he did add two three-pointers as well.

New York Knicks small forward RJ Barrett stood out with a 30-point performance in Friday's 121-112 win over Detroit, adding five rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes. He posted only one turnover and shot 10-for-17 from the field with a 3-for-8 record from beyond the arc. Barrett improved his season-best by three points, and he's now sitting on a 20.2 points per game scoring average after 12 games. It appears that Barrett doesn't want to come out of his comfort zone, as his current numbers in all three major categories are almost identical to the ones he ended up having last season. He's getting 5.8 rebounds per game with 3.1 assists. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old does very little on the defensive end and this limits his fantasy value. His shooting numbers aren't pretty either, although Barrett has done decently so far this month, hitting 48 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from downtown.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett finished with a game-high 21 points during the preseason win over the Pistons on Tuesday night. He also added five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. The 22-year-old looked good in this one, shooting 8-for-14 from the field and 3-for-5 from deep. Barrett, who averaged a career-high 20 points in 2021-22, signed a four-year extension in the offseason after months of trade rumors. However, he will remain with the Knicks and receive plenty of playing time this season. Barrett should continue to be a reliable fantasy option, although his three-point percentage dropped to 34.2% last season. If that doesn't improve, category managers will take a hit.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett agreed to a four-year, $107 million extension with the team on Tuesday. With incentives, he could earn as much as $120 million. Last season, the 22-year-old averaged a career-high 20.0 points while adding 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Barrett's new deal is somewhat surprising, primarily since the Jazz had expressed interest in him during trade discussions surrounding superstar guard Donovan Mitchell. Although a move may still happen down the line, the extension will certainly make things challenging. Nevertheless, the 2019 No. 3 overall can be a viable fantasy option no matter where he's suiting up. However, his lack of consistency has been a burden for fantasy managers. His three-point shooting has improved, but there is also work to be done in that area as well.
