Franz Wagner (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

Friday’s game will be the fifth that Wagner has missed due to injury management for a high left ankle sprain. How long he’ll remain out is unknown. However, what is known is that Anthony Black will remain in the starting lineup, and the third-year guard should be rostered in 12-team leagues by now.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane notched 23 points (10-of-16 FGs), one rebound, five assists, two steals and three three-pointers in the win over the Heat on Monday.

Bane’s contributions on the offensive end played a big factor in Orlando ending its four-game losing streak on Wednesday. He made shots efficiently from behind the three-point line as well as inside it, while his contributions as a passer led him to finish as one of the Magic’s leaders in assists on the evening. Bane didn’t get to the free-throw line in this game and also failed to make much of an impact on the glass. However, his passing and production as a scorer were enough to land him a nice final line.
Anthony Black

ORL Guard #0

Anthony Black tallied 26 points (11-of-19 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, four steals, two blocks and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Heat.

Black was exceptional on Wednesday evening against the Heat. Offensively, he shot the ball with great accuracy, leading him to finish as one of three Magic players to score at least 20 points. He added a handful of assists, as well, but also tallied six stocks on the defensive end to give him fantastic fantasy production in the win. Black’s performance against Miami may be the one that gets him back on track following a few underwhelming performances.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero amassed 31 points (11-of-23 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in the win over the Heat.

Banchero was, once again, dominant on Wednesday. He logged a second straight 30-point double-double, mostly operating inside the arc to tally his points. The fourth-year forward led all scorers in the game and has slowly picked up his production in January following a rough December. If Banchero can continue playing at this level, he’ll have a chance to get the Magic back on track over the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should be excited about his recent progress.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner (ankle) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

Wagner is set to miss his fourth consecutive game. The 24-year-old small forward is listed as out for high left ankle sprain injury management reasons. Anthony Black will continue to start and should be rostered in standard formats until Wagner returns.
Anthony Black

ORL Guard #0

Anthony Black finished Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers with 14 points (6-of-14 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers.

Black had a fairly balanced performance in Monday’s rematch with the Cavaliers. In 37 minutes, he was impactful on the defensive end and totaled four stocks, while inefficient shooting from beyond the arc limited his scoring production. Still, the third-year guard out of Arkansas finished as one of three Orlando players to score in double figures, and he was one of the team’s best passers in the loss. Fantasy managers, however, should be craving more from Black, based on some of the heights he reached earlier this season.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane produced 19 points (7-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers on Monday.

Bane followed Saturday’s 20-point performance in a loss to Cleveland with similar production on Monday. The first-year Magic guard was productive from beyond the arc and, in his 38 minutes, finished as the Magic’s second-leading scorer for the game. Yet Bane went without an assist for the first time all season, and with his unspectacular assist total and pair of stocks, he didn’t provide fantasy managers with much production. He’ll have a chance to put up a better line on Wednesday against the Heat.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero notched 37 points (13-of-21 FGs, 9-of-13 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers.

Banchero did what he could to try to get the Magic back on track. Yet, his highest-scoring game of January wasn’t enough to end the Magic’s losing streak, which is now at four games. Banchero’s season high in points on Monday came on a blend of three-pointers, shots inside the arc, and production from the free-throw line. On top of his scoring outburst, he reached double figures in rebounds to secure his 14th double-double of the season. Regardless of whether Orlando can get back on track or not, it’s clear that Banchero will continue to deliver strong production from a fantasy basketball standpoint.
Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Franz Wagner (ankle) is out for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Monday’s game will be the third that Wagner has missed, with the description being changed from “left ankle soreness” to “high left ankle sprain injury management.” Before Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Wagner did some light, non-contact shooting during the pregame shootaround. As long as Wagner is out, Anthony Black will start, and he should be rostered in standard leagues.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero amassed a team-high 27 points (7-of-14 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), five rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

It’s been a frustrating season for Banchero and the Magic as they’ve consistently struggled to generate enough offense to turn things around. The 23-year-old playmaker has scored at least 20 points in seven of 10 games since Janaury 1, but the Magic are just 4-6 overall during that span. He’s dropped from 25.9 points per-game last season to just 21.1 through 34 contests this season. The Magic have a rematch against the Cavaliers on Monday before facing the Heat, Raptors and Spurs to close out a four-game week.
