Fantasy Analysis
Barnes had some night on Tuesday but it isn't something he's expected to sustain. He managed just six points and three boards in Sunday's game against Memphis, and has averaged just 10.4 points and 6.4 rebounds over his last five contests despite getting almost 27 minutes per night. His all-around numbers give him some minor attractiveness in very deep formats, but that is about it as far as Fantasy value. (Updated 03/28/2012).
