Rotoworld Player News

Anthony Black

ORL Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Anthony Black (core) and Franz Wagner (ankle) are out for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Black and Wagner will remain out for another game, which means Tristan da Silva will get another start. With it unknown when Black or Wagner will be healthy enough to play, da Silva is worth rostering in 12-team leagues.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero tallied nine points (3-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds and three assists in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors.

Banchero wasn’t the only Magic player to perform poorly in the 139-87 loss, but it’s nearly impossible to win a game when your star struggles this badly. He missed all five of his three-point attempts and shot 33.3 percent from inside the arc. Banchero, who played 30 minutes, finished with more turnovers (five) than made field goals (three) in a brutal finish for Paolo and the fantasy managers rostering him. The Magic play four games in Week 23, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs recorded 13 points (5-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Magic.

After playing 36 minutes on Thursday in his return from an illness that sidelined him for two games, Suggs played 26 minutes on Sunday. The nature of the game was the reason, as Orlando was on the wrong end of a 139-87 defeat. The positive for the Magic was that the blowout got Suggs additional rest, given the time he has missed due to injury. They’ll look to bounce back on Tuesday against the Suns.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane accounted for 17 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors.

In addition to allowing the Raptors to shoot 57.4 percent from the field, Orlando made just 37.8 percent of its attempts in the 139-87 defeat. Bane was the most productive of the Magic’s five starters, but that rings hollow when you lose by 52 points. Bane has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, and he’s certainly capable of sustaining that during the championship week of Yahoo! default leagues. Orlando plays four games in Week 23, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner (ankle) and Anthony Black (core) are out for Sunday’s game against the Raptors.

Wagner and Black are progressing in their recoveries, but neither has reached the point where they can play in games. Tristan da Silva remains a player who should be rostered in 12-team leagues, as he has served as Orlando’s fifth starter with Wagner and Black sidelined.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (illness) tallied eight points (3-of-8 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Kings.

Suggs’ playing time was not restricted on Thursday, and he showed no ill effects from the two games he missed due to an illness. He did not offer much as a scorer against the Kings, but the most important thing for fantasy managers was that Suggs played 34 minutes. Orlando plays once more during Week 22, on Sunday against the Raptors, so fantasy managers will hope to get more production from Suggs there.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane finished Thursday’s win over the Kings with 23 points (6-of-11 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), six assists and three three-pointers.

After scoring at least 20 points in five of his first eight games in March, Bane has recorded two such games over his last six. Against the Kings, he shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and 8-of-8 from the foul line. The eight free-throw attempts were the most in a game for Bane since March 11. Jalen Suggs ' return to the lineup after a two-game absence allowed Bane to focus more on scoring, and fantasy managers reaped the rewards.
Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23

Tristan da Silva finished Thursday’s win over the Kings with 18 points (5-of-7 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers.

Limited to four points in a March 19 blowout loss to the Hornets, da Silva has reached double figures in four straight games, scoring 18 or more in each of the last three. Against the Kings, the second-year wing shot 3-of-4 from beyond the arc and produced good percentages from the field overall and the foul line. Da Silva should be rostered in 12-team leagues through the end of the regular season, as it remains unknown when Franz Wagner or Anthony Black will return from their respective injuries.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero accounted for 30 points (11-of-22 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists and one three-pointer in Thursday’s win over the Kings.

Banchero has been on a roll recently, having scored at least 30 points in three straight and four of his last six games. Against the Kings, the Magic forward shot 50 percent from the field and also put up quality numbers in rebounds and assists. Over the past two weeks, Banchero has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats, thanks to the combination of improved raw numbers and efficiency. Orlando concludes its Week 22 slate on Sunday against the Raptors.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Tristan da Silva, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. will start Thursday’s game against the Kings.

Suggs is back after a two-game absence due to illness. As expected, he is in the starting lineup with Jamal Cain heading to the bench. That’s the lone change to the Magic starting lineup.
