3 years agoToronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (thumb), absent for the last two games, will return to action on Friday against the Cavaliers. Head coach Nick Nurse had said that the injury wasn't all that bad, with the team describing it as a jammed thumb, though they held the rookie out of Monday's shootaround as a precautionary measure. Barnes has been excellent, averaging 18.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game this season. Fantasy managers should make him active for the favorable matchup with Cleveland.--Tim Capurso
