Scottie Barnes (wrist) sits out Raptors practice, day-to-day
Toronto Raptors small forward Scottie Barnes is day-to-day with a sore wrist.
What It Means:
Barnes was unable to practice on Tuesday after exiting Sunday's game early with a wrist injury. X-rays came back clean, but it sounds like Barnes could miss at least Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Chris Boucher or Gary Trent Jr. would likely replace Barnes in the starting lineup, with both of them picking up more minutes. Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and Pascal Siakam would also be in line for larger roles on offense if Barnes is sidelined. Barnes has played in every game for the Raptors since November 26.
numberFire's models project Barnes for 36.6 minutes and 34.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday. FVV is recording a margin of plus-3.8% in usage rate and plus-0.1 FanDuel points per minute with Barnes off the court this season.
