Smith has missed Chicago’s last two games, but he is expected to make his return to the lineup against Dallas. He had been starting prior to this absence, and Kevin Huerter has filled that spot. Huerter could return to the bench with Smith back.

After missing Friday’s game against the 76ers, da Silva could be back in the lineup against New Orleans. With Jalen Suggs (knee) still out, da Silva should start if he’s available. If he remains out, Noah Penda will likely get another start after finishing with five points, seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 30 minutes.

Wagner tore his ACL 13 months ago, and he’ll finally return to the court against New Orleans. He had been playing well before the injury, and while he’ll be eased back into things, he’ll eventually take some of the backup center minutes, which will cut into Wendell Carter Jr. and Goga Bitadze’s minutes.

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. The 21-year-old point guard averaged 18.9 points per game in December so it’s a good sign to see him get back to that level of scoring.

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. Bane led the Magic in field goal attempts and points with Franz Wagner out, but it wasn’t enough to even keep the Magic in the game late in the fourth quarter. He’s provided eighth-round per game value this season. The Magic close out the week against the Pelicans on Sunday.

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. He played 31 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Nets, tallying 13 points and 11 rebounds. Given Orlando’s lack of wing depth, Penda is worth the risk in deep leagues.

Absent from Orlando’s initial injury report, da Silva is out due to back spasms. With Jalen Suggs out, he started the last three games, so da Silva’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Tyus Jones and Jett Howard are potential replacements, with the former offering a slightly higher streaming ceiling.

Richardson did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Nets, with his minutes mainly being absorbed by starters who were benched for the entire fourth quarter of Tuesday’s loss to the Wizards. While the rookie should play rotation minutes on Friday, he’s only worth rostering in dynasty leagues.

Smith has missed Chicago’s last two games due to concussion protocols. With Zach Collins also out, Lachlan Olbrich entered the rotation as Nikola Vučević’s backup, but the production to make the rookie a worthwhile streamer was not there. If Smith can play on Saturday, Olbrich will likely fall out of the rotation entirely.

Huerter was ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Heat, but since the contest was postponed, he did not officially miss a game. Coby White was available and moved back into the starting lineup, so Huerter will come off the bench if he’s allowed to play on Saturday.

A late addition to the Bulls’ injury report, Huerter will not be available to provide production as a spot starter. Coby White (calf) is off the injury report after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons, so he can slide into the spot left vacant due to Huerter’s absence.

Absent from the Magic injury report ahead of Wednesday’s win over the Nets, Richardson was announced as questionable to play during the first half and never checked in.

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. Bane has had his share of ups and downs throughout the season, but remains more than capable of putting up big numbers on the offensive end of the floor. He’ll have a chance to bounce back on Friday against the 76ers to put up strong fantasy production.

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.

Over his last two games, Vučević has grabbed a total of 31 rebounds. While Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart outplayed him, the veteran center’s double-double will please those who have him rostered. Vučević’s fantasy ceiling may be limited, but he still offers a high floor. The lingering question is whether he’ll be on the move before the February trade deadline.

The Bulls did not have Coby White or Josh Giddey for Wednesday’s game, and that usually results in a higher ceiling for Dosunmu. He didn’t start against Detroit, but the reserve guard shot 66.7 percent from the field and led the way offensively for Chicago. Rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. Dosunmu is worth holding onto until the Bulls’ perimeter rotation returns to full strength.

Buzelis has now scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games. However, recent injuries to Josh Giddey and Coby White have not resulted in the forward having a higher fantasy ceiling. Over the past two weeks, Buzelis has only been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats. Hopefully, Wednesday’s performance will be something for him to build on, especially the defensive numbers.

Absent from Orlando’s pregame injury report, it was announced during the first quarter that he’s dealing with a sore left ankle.

White played on Monday after missing the last three games for Chicago, but he will miss the first leg of this back-to-back, meaning he should be available to take on the Heat on Thursday. White played 25 minutes off the bench in that game, so Tre Jones should see a bump in minutes with White out.

Buzelis was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Wednesday, so the most recent status upgrade was expected.

The Magic wasted no time releasing their injury report for Wednesday, doing so a couple of hours after Tuesday’s loss to the Wizards. With head coach Jamahl Mosley saying on Tuesday that Suggs has not resumed on-court activities, his being ruled out for Wednesday is unsurprising. He may be closer to “week-to-week” than “day-to-day.”

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. And as the Magic await the returns of Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner, he’ll continue to have opportunities to contribute off the bench.

Bane only played 24 minutes on Tuesday, as he and the other Magic starters were benched for the entire fourth quarter. The lone positive for fantasy managers who have him rostered is that Orlando has three more games in Week 12, starting with the Nets on Wednesday. Tuesday’s production would sting a lot more if Bane only had two more opportunities this week.

Tuesday was a bad night for Banchero and the Magic, specifically the starters. Orlando’s first five were being beaten soundly, and head coach Jamahl Mosley ultimately decided to stick with his bench for the entirety of the fourth quarter. As a result, Banchero only played 25 minutes, which was tops amongst the starters. They’ll look to redeem themselves on Wednesday in Brooklyn against the Nets.

While Suggs was initially listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game, he was ultimately ruled out during the afternoon. And with the point guard yet to be cleared to resume on-court activities, this does not appear to be a day-to-day injury. Anthony Black will continue to start at point guard in Suggs’ absence, with Tristan da Silva starting for the injured Franz Wagner. While da Silva is not a must-add, Black is.

Buzelis most recently played 31 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Celtics. If he’s unable to play on Wednesday, Ayo Dosunmu or Coby White, who is also questionable, could be the choice to fill the resulting void. Dosunmu’s fantasy value has already been boosted due to Josh Giddey’s absence.

White made his return to action on Monday, playing 25 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Celtics.

If he sits, Tre Jones should play more than the 23 minutes he logged on Monday.

Bane shook off a relatively slow start to pour in 20 second-half points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 2-of-3 from three-point range. The 27-year-old scoring machine has been a little underwhelming in his Orlando debut, but he’s still delivered sixth-round fantasy value this season, averaging 19.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks through 36 games. The Magic are in line for a four-game slate next week that includes showdowns against the Wizards, Nets, 76ers and Pelicans.

After taking just eight shots in the first half, Banchero put together an extremely impressive second half, shouldering a significant portion of the scoring workload with both Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) out of action. He finished with 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including a pair of triples. The 23-year-old franchise cornerstone has shaken off a mid-December funk to score 23 points or more in four consecutive games over the past week, delivering third-round fantasy value during that span.

Black saw an uptick in creation opportunities with Jalen Suggs (knee) out of the lineup, going off for a game-high 18 points in the first half. He knocked down 5-of-10 shots, including a pair of three-pointers, while also adding six free throws. He came back to earth in the second half with elite offensive threats Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane taking over the scoring duties. However, he set up a pair of key buckets from Tristan Da Silva and Wendell Carter Jr. in the final 70 seconds of regulation to help Orlando put the game away.

Smith was playing well at the time of his injury, as a third-quarter collision with Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball forced him to the sidelines. Following the defeat, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said that Smith has entered the league’s concussion protocol. Chicago returns to action on Monday against the Celtics, the first of four games they’re scheduled to play in Week 12.

Suggs, who recently returned to action after suffering a hip injury during the Magic’s NBA Cup loss to the Knicks, is back on the shelf. While it was his left knee that required a season-ending procedure in the spring, the Magic guard injured his right knee during Friday’s loss to the Bulls.
