Knicks' RJ Barrett: Erupts for career-high 46 points

Barrett (ankle) poured in a career-high 46 points (13-22 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 14-22 FT) and added nine rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes Friday in the Knicks' 115-100 loss to the Heat.

If not for his poor showing from the free-throw line, Barrett would have turned in one of the top overall fantasy lines of the NBA's nine-game Friday slate, but those that used him in DFS or get him active in season-long leagues certainly won't complain about his elite scoring production on efficient shooting from the field and downtown. Given that he's converting at only a 41.7 percent clip from the field and 36.2 percent rate from distance for the season, Barrett can't be relied upon for regular 40-point outbursts, but he looks like a solid option in 12-team leagues now that he's healthy again. Barrett had previously missed the Knicks' last four games with a left ankle sprain.
