Matt Barnes

Matt Barnes is starting for Golden State on Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Matt Barnes will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the New York Knicks, sending guard/forward Patrick McCaw to the bench.

What It Means:

Barnes only played 12 minutes in his first game as a Warrior on Thursday, compared to McCaw's 28, but he will enter the starting lineup on Sunday and probably be asked to defend Carmelo Anthony from the opening tip. He could be an intriguing DFS option on the Sunday afternoon slate if he stays out of foul trouble.

Our models project Barnes for 5.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 18.9 minutes on Sunday against the Knicks.
