Anthony Black

ORL Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Anthony Black amassed 22 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Black has scored in double figures in five straight games, starting the last three as the Magic have been without Franz Wagner. With Jalen Suggs also out on Thursday, there was more room for Black to score, and he finished with his first 20-point game since December 1. While Black is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, the current state of Orlando’s rotation makes him worth the risk in some 12-team leagues. Don’t be afraid to add him ahead of Saturday’s game against the Jazz.
Wendell Carter

ORL Center-Forward #34

Wendell Carter Jr. finished Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets with 26 points (11-of-15 FGs), nine rebounds, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers.

For the first time in over a month, Carter has reached double figures in three straight games. His performance against the Nuggets was his most productive of the season, with the Magic center recording his first 20-point game. Over the past two weeks, Carter has been close to a top-75 player in eight-cat formats. Unfortunately, his inconsistent offensive output makes ECJ challenging to trust outside of deep leagues.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero recorded 26 points (9-of-21 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), 16 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Having last recorded a double-double on November 4, Banchero posted his first triple-double of the season on Thursday. He didn’t bring much to the table defensively, but the overall efficiency was good, with Banchero committing only two turnovers. Field-goal percentage has been the biggest issue for Banchero when it comes to fantasy value, making him a better option in points leagues than category leagues. That said, Saturday’s game against the Jazz is set up to be a good one for Banchero.
Tyus Jones

ORL Guard #2

Tyus Jones, Anthony Black, Desmond Bane, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. will start Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

The Magic won’t have Jalen Suggs for Thursday’s game, and Tristan da Silva is also out. As a result, Jones moves into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming when allowed to start. Black will also boast a higher fantasy ceiling due to the absences.
Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23

Tristan da Silva (shoulder) is out for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

The Magic are severely shorthanded in the backcourt against the Nuggets on Thursday. Orlando is already down Jalen Suggs and Franz Wanger and now da Silva has also been ruled out. Jett Howard and Jase Richardson should see addition minutes in this one, though neither are anything more than a desperation streaming option in deeper formats.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (hip) is out for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

Added to the Magic injury report on Thursday afternoon, Isaac is now out. There may be additional rotation minutes available to Jett Howard, as the Magic will also be without Tristan da Silva. There’s no need to consider streaming Howard.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (hip) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Nuggets.

Isaac is a late addition to the injury report with a left hip contusion, so he’s in danger of sitting out against the Nuggets. With a number of forwards banged up, Jett Howard could be in line for an expanded role on Thursday.
Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23

Tristan da Silva (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

With Jalen Suggs joining Franz Wagner on the sidelines, there’s a chance that da Silva moves into the Magic starting lineup. However, he’s questionable for Thursday night, so Orlando could be down another rotation player. Jett Howard and Jase Richardson could see their opportunities increase if da Silva sits, but neither player is a must-stream option.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

According to ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk, Jalen Suggs underwent an MRI, revealing a left high hip contusion.

Youngmisuk notes that Suggs’ return timeline will depend on how he responds to treatment. With Franz Wagner still on the shelf, Anthony Black could see a major boost in playing time and usage, though he already started each of Orlando’s last two games. Tristan da Silva may be in line for an expanded role as well.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane amassed 18 points (7-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks.

After dropping 37 points on the Heat to reach Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas, Bane was held in check by the Knicks. The good news for fantasy managers is that his field-goal percentage didn’t take a severe hit, and Bane also provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, Bane and the Magic won’t play their first Week 9 game until Thursday, as part of a two-game week.
