Scottie Barnes passes Fred VanVleet for 8th on Raptors’ all-time scoring list

Barnes tied VanVleet with a putback and-1 layup in the third and then ultimately achieved the milestone when he threw down a dunk late in the third quarter of the Raptors’ 139-87 blowout win over the Orlando Magic.

Raptors Top 10 in total points:

1. Demar DeRozan – 13,296
2. Kyle Lowry – 10,540
3. Chris Bosh – 10,275
4. Vince Carter – 9,420
5. Pascal Siakam – 8,875
6. Andrea Bargnani – 6,581
7. Morris Peterson – 6,498
8. Scottie Barnes – 6,094
9. Fred VanVleet – 6,090
10. Jonas Valančiūnas – 5,511

This achievement comes just 76 days after Barnes passed Jonas Valančiūnas for 9th on the all-time scoring list, though this will be the last jump for Barnes this season. With just 8 games remaining in the regular season, Barnes is unable to surpass Peterson, though he has the chance to move as high as 6th in the 2026-27 campaign.

Barnes and the Raptors are currently fighting tooth and nail to keep the 5-seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and tonight’s performance from Barnes was massive in a must-win game against the 7-seed Orlando Magic. Barnes will continue his climb up the record books on Tuesday night, as the Raptors continue their playoff push in a matchup with the East-best Detroit Pistons.
