Jackson will miss a ninth consecutive game as he remains in the league’s concussion protocol. The Pacers have relied on a rotation of Jay Huff and Micah Potter at the center position, with whichever player has the “hot hand” getting more minutes. Neither has been the most reliable fantasy option, and the rotation may have something to do with that.

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.

Huff, who leads the NBA in blocks this season, knocked down 4-of-7 from three-point range and matched his previous season-high mark that he set back on November 19 in a win over the Hornets. Unfortunately, his offensive outburst wasn’t enough as Indiana dropped their 13th straight game and remain winless since December 8. The 27-year-old shot blocker is averaging 2.2 per-game, which gives him some relevance in deeper fantasy leagues.

Siakam did his best to spark a late rally for the Pacers as he scored 13 of his 22 points in the second half, including a three-point play in the final minute to slash the deficit to a single point. It still wasn’t enough to help Indiana avoid their 13th consecutive loss. The 31-year-old scoring machine has been on fire of late, averaging a robust 26.3 points over his last four games, providing fifth-round fantasy value during that span.

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.

After coming off the bench for Indiana’s last two games, Huff is back in the starting lineup. He brings little more height to the table in Tuesday’s matchup, with Cleveland starting Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Micah Potter heads to the bench but should remain in the rotation.

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.

Siakam cobbled together a monster third quarter, exploding for a whopping 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting, as the Pacers managed to make this one close in the final minutes. Unfortunately, his second-half heroics weren’t enough as the Pacers suffered their 12th consecutive loss since December 12. They’ll attempt to turn things around when they kick off a light three-game week against the Cavaliers on Tuesday before facing the Hornets and Heat to close things out.

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.

The Pacers hold the worst record in the NBA after dropping their 12th consecutive game in this one. However, Nesmith has been one of the few glimmers of hope as he’s shown few signs of rust since returning from a left knee sprain, averaging 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 blocks in five games. The 26-year-old wing led the Pacers with 18 first-half points on 5-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-8 from downtown and has topped 29 minutes in three straight contests. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.

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.

While a sprained right thumb was the listed reason for Mathurin’s absence, that isn’t the only injury that he’s dealing with. According to Pacers insider Scott Agness, the wing is also dealing with turf toe. Given where the Pacers are in the standings, there isn’t much reason for Mathurin to rush back. Johnny Furphy, who moved into the starting lineup, and Ben Sheppard are players for deep-league managers to track in Mathurin’s absence.

While Tyus Jones has served as the starting point guard on past occasions when Orlando was without Jalen Suggs, that is not the case here. Black will be the primary playmaker, with da Silva entering the starting five. While the former should already be rostered in 12-team leagues, given his recent play, the latter is worth a look in deeper leagues, provided he remains in the starting lineup while Suggs and Franz Wagner are out.

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. The team has not provided a timeline, so Suggs should be considered out indefinitely until one is provided. Tyus Jones will return to the starting lineup, but Anthony Black is the player fantasy managers should target.

Mathurin injured his right (shooting) thumb during Friday’s loss to the Spurs, playing 20 minutes as a result. He’ll miss at least one complete game with the injury, leaving the already shorthanded Pacers down one of their better scorers. While Ben Sheppard and Johnny Furphy could play more in Mathurin’s absence, this could also be viewed as an opportunity to get rookie Kam Jones more minutes.

Black continued to display his improved scoring with 18 points against the Bulls on Friday. The 21-year-old shooting guard averaged 18.9 points per game in the month of December. Black has been a revelation for the Magic this year and remains one of their best fantasy options regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Banchero continues to carry the offense with Franz Wagner out. The 23-year-old power forward has 84 points over his last three games.

Orlando will have a chance to get back in the win column Sunday against the Pacers.

It was more of the same for Siakam as he remains Indiana’s primary offensive catalyst during a lost season where they continue to pile up the losses as one of the worst teams in the entire league after making the NBA Finals just a few months ago. The 31-year-old forward has topped 20 points in four consecutive games and has delivered seventh-round fantasy value during that span, averaging 26.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.3 blocks.

Nembhard is one of Indiana’s few scoring options capable of heating up and providing some additional offense and he’s been rolling of late, scoring at least 14 points in seven of his last nine games since December 18.

Siakam’s 26 points came as the Pacers lost their 10th consecutive game. The 31-year-old power forward is making the most of what’s already a lost season for the 6-27 Pacers.

This was the third time Mathurin has attempted at least 13 free throws in a game this season. On October 23 against the Thunder, he made 15-of-17 free throws and on November 17 against the Pistons, he made 8-of-14 free throws. The 23-year-old small forward had 36 and 25 points in those games, respectively. We’ve seen these blips with Mathurin before and the scoring tends to be unsustainable. He’s averaging 18.3 points per game this year and 16.1 for his career. Mathurin remains more of a good scorer than an elite one.

Bitadze played just 19 minutes Wednesday, but was incredibly efficient with 14 points on seven field goal attempts and nine rebounds. The 26-year-old backup center isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues without an injury to Wendell Carter Jr., but after missing some time to injury this year, Bitadze showed why he’s considered a reliable reserve.

Banchero drew some flack earlier this week after missing a potential game-winning shot at the buzzer Monday against the Raptors. The 23-year-old power forward bounced back in a big way Wednesday against the Pacers as he backed down his defender before driving and delivering the game-winner that put the Magic up 112-110 with seven seconds left. Banchero will continue to carry the offense with Franz Wagner out. The Magic will take on the Bulls Friday in their third of four games this week.
