Rotoworld Player News

ORL Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Desmond Bane had 21 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and six three-pointers against the Bucks on Friday.

Bane has had at least 21 points in back-to-back games thanks to exceptional three-point shooting. The 28-year-old guard is 13-of-21 from behind the three-point line over his last two contests. Bane has drained at least four three-pointers in five games this month. The Magic begin a four-game week Monday against the Celtics.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner had 35 points (13-of-22 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in the Magic’s 107-99 victory over the Bucks on Friday.

Wagner continues to carry the Magic with Paolo Banchero (hamstring) still sidelined. The 25-year-old forward has had at least 30 points and at least six rebounds in each of his last four games. Wagner’s performance Friday against the Bucks was his best of the bunch as he totaled 35 points and was just one rebound shy of recording a triple-double. Wagner and the Magic will get Saturday and Sunday off before a four-game week next week.
Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23

The Magic will start Anthony Black, Desmond Bane, Tristan Da Silva, Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr. on Friday against the Bucks.

Tristan Da Silva is returning to the lineup and Alex Morales is heading to the bench. If you want to use Da Silva as a streamer for points and 3’s, he could be an option for redraft leagues.
Jamal Cain

ORL Forward #8

Jamal Cain (shoulder) is available for Friday’s game against the Bucks.

Cain is good to go after initially being questionable for Friday’s game. With Tristan da Silva (calf) also available, Cain’s opportunities may be limited, but he should still play rotation minutes.
Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23

Tristan da Silva (calf) is available for Friday’s game against the Bucks.

After a two-game absence, da Silva is available for Friday’s NBA Cup matchup. Jamal Cain (shoulder) is also available, which could mean that Alex Morales falls out of the rotation.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (knee) is available for Friday’s game against the Bucks.

Suggs is back after missing time to recover from a knee injury sustained in an October 25 win over the Knicks. His return could push Jase Richardson to the bench, but Suggs may have his minutes restricted in his first game back.
Jamal Cain

ORL Forward #8

Jamal Cain (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Bucks on Friday.

Cain started on Tuesday with Tristan da Silva out, and with both out on Wednesday, Alex Morales got the nod. Both da Silva and Cain are questionable once again, so that status of both players will determine who starts.
Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23

Tristan da Silva (calf) is questionable to play against the Bucks on Friday.

After missing the Magic’s last two games, da Silva is in danger of making it three straight. He should start if available, and with Jamal Cain questionable as well, the status of both players will determine who starts. If both are out, it will likely be Alex Morales again.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (knee) is questionable to play against the Bucks on Friday.

Suggs has been sidelined since the first week of the season but could be back to take on the Bucks. Anthony Black has been incredible in his place, which could make it a tough decision as to who starts. It wouldn’t be surprising if Suggs’ minutes were limited in his first game back.
Anthony Black

ORL Guard #0

Anthony Black put up 22 points (6-of-14 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, a steal, and three 3-pointers in win against the Jazz on Wednesday.

Back-to-Back great games against the Kings and the Jazz. He was aggressive in looking for his shot and it helped lead them to the win. This season, he’s been awesome from a statistical perspective and hitting his 3’s. The Magic are going to need to make a decision to trade one of their core places if they want to keep him around.
