It was a showcase of his versatile skill set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes now has 14 double-doubles in 28 games, which is impressive for a non-centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, he&#8217;s averaging 19.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists, which is more than what is needed out of him tonight to cash this pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Full Celtics vs. Raptors prop markets at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, I believe he is in for a scoring uptick with RJ Barrett remaining sidelined for this contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 11 games without Barrett, Barnes is averaging 20.5 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six days off seem to have worked wonders for the Raptors. They won consecutive games following the break, and Barnes had a pair of double-doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At home, the Raptors should continue building momentum behind a monstrous performance from their young stud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Barnes is 8-3 against this line without Barrett in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Wager on Saturday&#8217;s 10-game NBA slate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raptors picks and predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>White over 4.5 threes (-120):<\/strong> I still like this prop for White even at a 4.5 line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to understand why when looking at his recent performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dec. 19 vs. Miami:<\/strong> 33 points, 9-for-14 3PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dec. 15 vs. Detroit:<\/strong> 31 points, 5-for-12 3PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dec. 7 @ Toronto:<\/strong> 27 points, 6-for-15 3PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Bet on Barnes and White tonight<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s just a few examples from a long list of high-volume performances from the sharpshooter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s 6-3 against this wager over his past nine games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During that span, he averaged 4.9 threes on a whopping 11.4 attempts (42.7%).
