  • Magic's Moritz Wagner: Scores 13 in 19 minutes

    Wagner registered 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks.

    Wagner has reached double figures in six straight games, but his workloads remain fairly low. In that span, he's averaging 20.0 minutes per contest with 12.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 three-pointers. He's been a viable streamer to open December.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Double-doubles in loss

    Bitadze totaled 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee.

    Bitadze recorded his eighth double-double of the season in the loss. Orlando continues to roll with a jumbo frontcourt featuring Bitadze and Wendell Carter together, so there are plenty of reasons to like his fantasy upside going forward. In five December outings, Bitadze is averaging 12.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals.

  • Magic's Jett Howard: Pops for 10 points Tuesday

    Howard finished Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee with 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist across 12 minutes.

    Howard scored double-digit points for just the fourth time this season, a campaign during which he has thus far failed to produce many highlights. Even with Orlando's two best players sidelined, Howard has been unable to step into a consistent role. The Magic are in a tough position, being a team that wants to develop their young players but also wants to win as many games as possible.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Strong two-way performance

    Black registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks.

    Black logged a season-high 32 minutes, turning in one of his better performances of the season. With both Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner sidelined due to oblique injuries, Black has an opportunity to step into a larger role, at least for another week or two. While he has increased his production across multiple categories this season, consistency remains an issue.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Passive performance in loss

    Carter notched eight points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee.

    Carter continues to play a passive role on the offensive end of the floor, having now scored in single digits in five straight games. Since returning from injury, Carter has been forced to play at the power forward position alongside Goga Bitadze. While Bitadze continues to play some of the best basketball of his career, Carter has been relatively disappointing.

  • Magic's Jalen Suggs: Scores career-high 32 points

    Suggs recorded 32 points (12-26 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four steals, one assist and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks in the Quarterfinals of the NBA Cup.

    Suggs briefly exited Tuesday's contest with a right thumb injury but was able to return a few minutes later and score a career-high 32 points. With Paolo Banchero (oblique) and Franz Wagner (oblique) both slated for lengthy absences, Suggs should continue to be a focal point of Orlando's offense while still producing defensively.

  • Magic's Jalen Suggs: Returns to action Tuesday

    Suggs (thumb) checked back into Tuesday's game versus the Bucks with 1:43 remaining in the third quarter.

    Despite dealing with a right thumb injury, Suggs has returned to Tuesday's contest. The 23-year-old guard ultimately missed just over three minutes of game action.

  • Magic's Jalen Suggs: Headed to locker room

    Suggs left Tuesday's game versus the Bucks with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter due to an apparent right hand injury, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

    Suggs tallied 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four steals, one assist and one block in 24 minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If Suggs is unable to return, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Ruled out against Milwaukee

    Isaac (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals game against the Bucks, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

    Isaac will miss his third straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to right hamstring soreness. Isaac's next chance to suit up could come Saturday if Orlando is able to advance to the NBA Cup Semifinals.

  • Magic's Gary Harris: Out again Tuesday

    Harris (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against the Bucks.

    Harris will miss his eighth game in a row and continues to be ruled out 24 hours in advance. He remains without a timetable for a return.

  • Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Questionable for Tuesday

    Isaac (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

    Isaac has missed the past two games for Orlando, but he remains day-to-day. With the Magic expected to be without Franz Wagner (oblique) for a while, Isaac could potentially step into a larger role upon his return.

  • Magic's Jalen Suggs: Leads all scorers with 26 points

    Suggs registered 26 points (8-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 win over Phoenix.

    Suggs stepped up with Orlando missing both Franz Wagner (oblique) and Paolo Banchero (oblique) on Sunday, leading all scorers with 26 points. He's notched double-digit points in all of his last seven games, averaging 19.1 points, 4.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per contest through this stretch. With Orlando set to be without both Wagner and Banchero for an extended period moving ahead, Suggs should take on as much usage as he can handle and see an increase in fantasy value as the top scoring option on offense until the Magic get some reinforcements, but his shooting efficiency could take a hit in the interim as a byproduct.

  • Magic's Cole Anthony: Full stat line off bench

    Anthony finished with 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Suns.

    Although it was rookie first-rounder Tristan da Silva who entered Orlando's starting lineup for the injured Franz Wagner (oblique), it was Anthony who absorbed the lion's share of Wagner's vacated playing time and supplied a full stat line Sunday. Anthony's 29 minutes were a season-high figure, and it would appear initially the 24-year-old guard will be one of the main beneficiaries of Wagner's indefinite absence after Anthony previously held an inconsistent role in the second unit thus far this season. Given the uncertainty surrounding head coach Jamahl Mosley's rotation on a nightly basis going forward, fantasy managers in most leagues should still take a wait-and-see approach before adding Anthony off waiver wires, but he's worth a speculative pickup in deep leagues for the time being.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Grabs career-high 16 rebounds

    Bitadze produced 21 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Suns.

    Bitadze dominated the paint against a Suns team without rebounding machine Jusuf Nurkic (thigh) to protect the rim Sunday, collecting a career-high 16 boards en route to a big 20-point, 10-rebound double-double. Bitadze has stuck around in Orlando's starting lineup despite Wendell Carter Jr. recently returning to the fold in the frontcourt, with Bitadze averaging 11.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.9 minutes per contest over his last six games. As long as Bitadze is getting minutes in the mid-20s, the 25-year-old big man should remain a strong source of blocks and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage.

  • Magic's Tristan da Silva: Starting sans Wagner

    Da Silva will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Suns, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    The rookie will step in for Franz Wagner (oblique) Sunday, who will be out for a minimum of four weeks. Da Silva has started in 14 matchups thus far, during which he has averaged 7.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 26.5 minutes per game.

  • Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Ruled out Sunday

    Isaac (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Suns.

    Isaac was a late scratch ahead of Friday's loss to the 76ers due to right hamstring soreness, and he'll miss his second consecutive outing Sunday with the hamstring issue. With the big man sidelined, Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze should split playing time at center. Isaac's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Bucks.
