Rookie Jonathan Mogbo tied his career highs with 17 points and 11 rebounds as the Toronto Raptors beat the Brookyn Nets 120-109 on Sunday.
Barnes is set to miss his second straight game with a hand injury. The Raptors will likely continue to start Jonathan Mogbo in his place against Brooklyn.
Barnes did not play in Friday's loss to the Pistons, with Jonathan Mogbo replacing him in the starting lineup. The rookie will likely retain that role if Barnes is unavailable, but he offers limited fantasy value outside of rebounds.
Barnes has been playing through a hand injury for months, but will get the day off Friday. Jonathan Mogbo is the likely replacement for Barnes against the Pistons. Barnes' fantasy managers have to be worried the Raptors won't continue to push Barnes to play through the injury at this point in the season.
Rajakovic also said that Barnes has been dealing with this hand injury for months, but he has been playing through it. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone well recently; he scored a season-low five points on Thursday after scoring nine points in each of Toronto's last two games. If he misses Friday's game, Jonathan Mogbo is the likely replacement in the starting unit if Barnes is sidelined.
