Rotoworld Player News

Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jalen Suggs (back) is questionable to play against the Rockets on Thursday.

Suggs has missed the last three games for Orlando and is in danger of making it four straight absences. Tristan da Silva has started the last three games in his stead and has averaged 10.3 points and 5.7 rebounds during this stretch. He’ll hold some upside if Suggs remains out.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane accounted for 22 points (9-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers.

Bane struggled for the first three quarters of Tuesday’s game, scoring ten points on 3-of-11 shooting from the field. He flipped a switch in the fourth, scoring 12 points and knocking down two three-pointers. Since the trade deadline, Bane has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Magic play two more games in Week 18, starting with the Rockets on Thursday.
Wendell Carter

ORL Center-Forward #34

Wendell Carter Jr. amassed 20 points (9-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds and two assists in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers.

Carter got off to an excellent start, scoring 15 points in the first half. While he did not factor into the Magic offense as much after halftime, he was responsible for the game’s most important shot. Carter’s putback with 6.7 seconds remaining gave Orlando a 110-109 lead that it wouldn’t relinquish, and it was his first 20-point game since January 30. WCJ has reached double digits in rebounds in three straight and four of his last five games, important production for a player who does not bring much to the table defensively.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero finished Tuesday’s win over the Lakers with 36 points (12-of-22 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers.

Banchero enjoyed one of his most productive nights of the season on Tuesday, and he was at his best during the third quarter. The Magic forward scored 17 points in the period, shooting 6-of-7 from the field. The 36 points were one shy of Banchero’s season-high, and he’s scored 30 or more in seven games. Banchero and the Magic head home for their final two games of Week 18, starting with the Rockets on Thursday.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (back) has been ruled out against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Suggs will miss a third straight game with back spasms, which mean Tristan da Silva should be in line for another start. He has been solid in extra minutes, but that isn’t enough for him to be streamed in standard leagues.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (back) is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Lakers.

Suggs has missed two straight games, but he’s got a chance to return against Los Angeles. If Suggs returns, Anthony Black’s playing time could be negatively impacted, but Black has standalone value regardless of Suggs’ availability.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero finished Sunday’s win over the Clippers with 16 points (6-of-16 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds and eight assists.

After logging 47 minutes and recording one of his best stat lines of the season in Saturday’s double-overtime loss to the Suns, Banchero came back to earth against the Clippers. The rebounds and assists were good, but the Magic forward didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, and his line didn’t include any defensive stats. Banchero has long been a player with greater value in points leagues than category leagues, so Sunday’s final line was unsurprising in that regard. The Magic play three games in Week 18, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday.
Wendell Carter

ORL Center-Forward #34

Wendell Carter Jr. tallied 15 points (6-of-14 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 14 rebounds and three assists in Sunday’s win over the Clippers.

The good news for those who have Carter rostered is that he recorded his first double-double since January 4 and seventh of the season. The bad news is that he didn’t provide value beyond points, rebounds and assists, and the Magic center was also responsible for five of Orlando’s 12 turnovers. The lack of defensive production makes Carter difficult to trust in 12-team leagues, even with his status as the starting center in Orlando.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane accounted for 36 points (13-of-19 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Clippers.

One day removed from scoring 34 points in a double-overtime loss to the Suns, Bane was even more productive against the Clippers. The 36 points were one shy of his season-high, and the Magic guard has scored 30 or more on three of his last four appearances. Over the past month, Bane has been a top-10 player in nine-cat formats, performing even better than fantasy managers hoped he would this season. The Magic conclude their road trip on Tuesday against the Lakers, the first of three games they’ll play during Week 18.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (back) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Suggs will miss a second straight game with back spasms. Tristan da Silva filled the void in the starting lineup and logged 38 minutes. The second-year wing gets another start on Sunday, with Anthony Black serving as the point guard.
