Barea contributed 18 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 28 minutes during the Mavericks' 92-90 win versus the Lakers on Tuesday.
Barea scored in double figures for the first time since Jan. 13 against the Thunder, even going without a point in the Mavericks' Jan. 20 match-up with the Timberwolves. Barea is a spark plug on offense who can put up big numbers on any given night. Nevertheless, after averaging 25 minutes per game in December, Barea is down to 21 minutes per appearance in January. As a result, his per-game averages have fallen off substantially as well, and it might take an injury to Deron Williams or another fellow backcourt mate for Barea to re-claim considerable relevance in fantasy.
