What Scottie Barnes costs with Kawhi Leonard beside him, in points, 9-cat and auctions

Kawhi Leonard's return to Toronto, in the trade with the Clippers that sent Brandon Ingram the other way, as NBC and theScore both reported, gave the Raptors a second star and gave Scottie Barnes managers a reason to wonder whether his price should fall. We covered the trade and its effect on the whole roster in Kawhi Leonard in Toronto, where the answer for Barnes was that our projections do not see him losing his role. This piece takes that as settled and asks the next question, which is what Barnes is worth in each kind of league and where his price comes from.

Our projections give him 18.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks in 34.1 minutes over 76 games. That is 10th on our points board under ESPN's default scoring, 11th under Yahoo's, 15th under Fantrax's and 20th on our 9-cat board, and in a 12-team, $200 auction our auction values price him at $48 under ESPN's scoring and $40 in 9-cat. The figure that holds all of those ranks up is the 76 games, the most of anyone in the top 20 of our ESPN points board.

Every player in this story is on the fantasy basketball rankings and the 2026-27 projections, and the NBA depth charts show where each one stands in his team’s rotation tonight.
