After missing four games with an illness, Williams is now in the “return to competition conditioning” phase of his recovery. Drake Powell, who’s started the last two games, and Nolan Traoré have seen their minutes increase recently, and that should continue to be the case the rest of the season.

After missing 16 games with a high ankle sprain, Wagner was back on the court Thursday afternoon in his hometown of Berlin. While the stat line did not include any steals or blocks, the rebounds and three-pointers were solid. Also encouraging for fantasy managers was his playing 27 minutes in his first game back. Wagner’s return meant fewer minutes for Noah Penda (nine points, five rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in 18 minutes), who is more valuable to dynasty leagues than redrafts.

While Franz Wagner was back in the lineup after a 16-game absence, his return did not negatively affect Black’s opportunities. The third-year guard was excellent during the second half, helping Orlando bounce back from a slow start. Black shot 4-of-6 from the field in the third quarter, and in the fourth, provided one of the dunks of the season. His fantasy value should be fine until Jalen Suggs returns from injury, and it’s going to take a lot to decrease Black’s opportunities, given how well he’s played.

Banchero has recorded three double-doubles in his last four games, and the four steals accumulated were a nice touch for fantasy managers who have him rostered. Over the past two weeks, he has offered second-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Banchero and the Magic will look to complete their European trip with a win over the Grizzlies on Sunday in London.

Back in the rotation after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Mavericks, Thomas was limited to 24 minutes against the Pelicans. With this being the guard’s contract year, the role has to be frustrating. Fantasy managers can take solace in the assist tally, as Thomas’ five helpers were the most in a game for him since he dished out nine on October 24. Those who have him rostered must be hoping for a trade by the February 5 deadline, because the situation could become more dire from a fantasy standpoint if he isn’t.

Making his third start and second in as many games, Powell dropped a season-high point total on Wednesday. Add in the rebounds and field-goal percentage, and this was a solid effort from the rookie. Powell played only 24 minutes, in part because of Cam Thomas being available. The playing time may limit Powell’s upside in the short term, but that shouldn’t be an issue after the All-Star break.

Remember when Dëmin’s shooting was the most significant question that draft analysts had about him? The rookie guard has shot the ball well from three, knocking down nearly 40 percent of his 6.1 attempts per game. Dëmin knocked down five on Wednesday while also recording five assists. Rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. There’s no need to wait for the trade deadline to add Dëmin; do it now.

Porter, who has scored at least 20 points in nine of his last ten appearances, had a chance to send Wednesday’s game into overtime. Unfortunately for him, his shot from a few steps inside of half-court was wide left, extending the Nets’ losing streak to five games. Porter has been one of the bright spots for Brooklyn, playing well enough that his name has been mentioned in trade rumors. And for the sake of fantasy managers hoping to count on MPJ during the playoff weeks, a trade may be needed to ensure that he doesn’t get shut down late in the season.

Dëmin will replace Terance Mann in the Nets’ starting lineup on Wednesday as the team looks to end a four-game losing streak. Dëmin missed Brooklyn’s most recent game against Dallas, but his return will provide the Nets’ starting unit with more three-point shooting. The rookie has made multiple three-pointers in each of his last six appearances, while scoring in double figures in five of those contests.

Wagner has missed 16 straight games, but the German forward will be back in action for this international matchup. Tristan da Silva should see a reduction in playing time and usage, but Wagner may be on a minutes restriction after so much time on the sideline. Anthony Black is worth holding, as he has played well enough to remain in the rotation regardless of Wagner’s health.

Clowney was tasked with serving as Brooklyn’s primary offensive threat with Michael Porter Jr. sitting out for load management purposes and Cam Thomas limited due to a hamstring issue. He matched a season-high with 17 shot attempts and shot just 24 percent from the floor, including a ghastly 4-of-15 from three-point range. There are better shooting days in the forecast for the 21-year-old forward in the future since he’s been right around 33 percent for his career from beyond the arc. The Nets are in line for a busy week with four games on tap including matchups against the Mavericks and Pelicans before a pair against the Bulls.

Martin saw an uptick in creation possessions as the Nets leaned on him from a scoring standpoint with Cam Thomas still dealing with a hamstring issue and Michael Porter Jr. sitting out for load management purposes. The 26-year-old guard was outstanding from distance in this one, knocking down 5-of-7 attempts from beyond the arc, fueling his highest single-game scoring output since a 26-point explosion back on November 23. There are a ton of cooks in the kitchen in Brooklyn, but Martin has shown he can be a productive scorer when given a chance.

After more than a year on the sidelines recovering from a torn ACL, Wagner made his first appearance of the season on Sunday. Due to the time missed, his minutes were limited, but the reserve forward/center was productive in ten minutes on the floor. Since the Magic were without Wendell Carter Jr., Goga Bitadze (14/13/1/3/2) played 32 minutes as the starting center. Once Carter returns and Wagner’s minutes aren’t restricted, Bitadze’s opportunities will take a hit.

While Banchero did not extend his double-double streak to three games, he had another productive day at the office. Sunday’s game was his first with at least 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists since a December 29 triple-double against the Raptors. The negative for fantasy managers who have Banchero rostered is that he won’t play again until Thursday, with the Magic playing two games against the Grizzlies in Berlin and London during Week 13.

For the first time since December 22-23, Bane has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. The Magic guard did not offer much three-point production, making one of four attempts, but he was perfect from the foul line, and the overall numbers were good. Bane and the Magic play twice during Week 13, with the first game scheduled for Thursday against the Grizzlies in Berlin.

Black has been one of Orlando’s fantasy standouts, especially since Franz Wagner was lost to an ankle injury in early December. The point guard put forth another stellar effort on Sunday, missing one shot from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Orlando only plays on Thursday and Sunday of Week 13 due to its trip to Europe for two games, but fantasy managers must hold onto Black.

Black had back-to-back games with five and six points entering play Friday. With Jalen Suggs (knee) still out, Black is a must-have player. His fantasy managers can breathe easy after Friday’s effort as Black managed to tally 21 points in the loss.

Bane had a bit of an uncharacteristic game Friday against the 76ers. The 27-year-old shooting guard failed to make a three-pointer, something he hadn’t done in his last six games.

Already without Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner, the Magic won’t have Tristan da Silva for Friday’s game, either. The absences open up a spot in the starting lineup, with Penda receiving the nod.

Clowney’s final stat line was an interesting one. Inefficient shooting, especially from beyond the arc, where he shot 0-of-5, kept him from putting many points on the board. Yet, he tied season-highs in assists and steals along the way to provide some solid fantasy production. His start to 2026 has been a rough one from a three-point shooting standpoint — Clowney is now without a three-pointer in three of the four games he’s appeared in. Once he regains his rhythm, the scoring production should return.

After being stuck in the twenties for six straight games, Porter Jr. utilized eight three-pointers to help him land his first 30-point game in nearly a month. He was efficient inside the arc as well and capitalized on his only couple of free-throw attempts, while also coming up big on the defensive end with a handful of steals.

Carter Jr. was one of only two Orlando players to finish with 20 or more points on the evening. None of the big man’s scoring production came from the three-point line versus Brooklyn, which marks the second consecutive game that he’s gone without a three-pointer. He also wasn’t involved much as a rebounder or passer, and his two stocks weren’t anything fantasy managers should be excited about. Still, his scoring was important to his team’s success tonight. He’ll have an opportunity to put up another solid effort on Friday against the 76ers.

It was a rough night for the first-year Magic guard, who tallied as many turnovers as he did made field goals on Wednesday. His minimal contributions as a passer and rebounder were also notable on a night in which he tallied 35 minutes in an overtime game.

Banchero bounced back on Wednesday from a forgettable Tuesday against the Wizards to help the Magic edge out the Nets in overtime. He notched a team-high in points and was one of several Magic players to secure double-digit rebounds. The numbers equated to the former first-overall pick’s second double-double of the month and 11th of the season. Banchero did struggle with his ball security, committing nine turnovers and ultimately costing himself some fantasy basketball production. Still, his lone three-pointer, which beat the buzzer in overtime, more than made up for the miscues. His final line was exceptional, considering he was benched in a 14-point effort on Tuesday.

Richardson and the other Magic reserves were the reason why Orlando pulled to within two points with just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Due to their effort, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley stuck with the reserves for the entire fourth quarter, which likely factored into their running out of steam late. But it was earned. In Richardson’s case, the rookie recorded his first 20-point game.

Clowney played a key role on both ends of the floor for Brooklyn in this one as he poured in eight and 11 points in the first and third quarters, respectively, to help them snap a three-game losing streak. The 21-year-old playmaking forward had little trouble exploiting Denver’s lack of interior defenders and also went 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. He’s been too hit-or-miss to emerge as a reliable fantasy option in shallow leagues, but he’s shown some flashes of big-time all-around upside.
