Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Paolo Banchero had 24 points (5-of-10 FGs, 13-of-16 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Pistons.

Fantasy managers have to appreciate Banchero’s dedication to getting to the line, both for the free-throw percentage bump and for the extra points. The 23-year-old small forward had nine turnovers against the Detroit defense, which can be crushing in nine-category formats. Banchero has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Magic have four games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Tuesday.
Anthony Black

ORL Guard #0

Anthony Black (quad) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pistons.

Black was not added to the Magic injury report until early Sunday afternoon. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Jalen Suggs potentially regaining his regular role. Suggs, who missed three games with a back injury, logged 13 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Rockets.
Anthony Black

ORL Guard #0

Anthony Black (quad) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Pistons.

Black is a late addition to the Magic injury report, as he is dealing with a right quad contusion. If he’s unable to play, Jalen Suggs may return to the starting lineup after being used in a reserve role on Thursday. Suggs came off the bench in Orlando’s loss to the Rockets because it was his first game back from a back injury that sidelined him for three games.
Paolo Banchero

ORL Forward #5

Paolo Banchero stuffed the stat sheet on Thursday with 19 points (6-of-16 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block against the Rockets.

Banchero wasn’t able to match his efficiency from Tuesday’s win, but he was able to pour in more counting stats. He came close to recording a triple-double for the first time since December. Unfortunately, this type of inefficiency will continue to limit his output in category leagues, though he did finish this game without a turnover. He’ll look to wrap up the week with a strong performance against the Pistons on Sunday.
Desmond Bane

ORL Guard #3

Desmond Bane led the Magic with 30 points (12-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and six three-pointers in a 113-108 loss to the Rockets on Thursday.

Bane has been on quite the heater as of late. He has shot at least 60 percent from the floor in six of his last seven games, which includes four 30-point games during that stretch. He has also provided plenty of steals during that stretch, with two steals in five of his last six outings. Bane has been a fantasy superstar in recent weeks, and he should remain hot as one of the focal points of the Magic offense moving forward.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs returned to the lineup on Thursday and contributed three points (1-of-6 FGs), one rebound, two steals and one block against the Rockets.

Following a three-game absence with a back injury, Suggs was back in the lineup to take on Houston. However, he wasn’t in his normal role; he came off the bench and logged just 13 minutes, leading to little production. Suggs is a fantasy stud and has had some monster games in February, so he should get back to that as he logs more games. His next chance to suit up will be against the Pistons on Sunday.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (back) is available for Thursday’s game against the Rockets.

Suggs is back after a three-game absence. However, he will come off the bench, with Tristan da Silva remaining in the starting five for at least one more game.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4

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.
