Suggs has been a fantasy stud when healthy all season, but he has added a new element to his game recently. This was his fourth straight game with at least eight assists, and he set a new career high for dimes in this one. Of course, he still contribute value across the board, just as he has all season. Utilizing Suggs as a playmaker just makes Orlando even more dangerous entering the postseason. He’s currently averaging career highs in assists and steals, and he’ll continue to stuff the stat sheet as the regular season comes to a close.

Bane has been on fire during Orlando’s three-game win streak, averaging 26.3 points, 2.0 steals, 1.3 blocks and 3.3 triples per game. His first season in Orlando go off to a shaky start, but he has been a fantasy stud during the second half of the season, which has helped the Magic stay afloat despite numerous injuries. With three games left until the postseason, Bane’s continued hot shooting will be pivotal to Orlando’s chances of avoiding the play-in tournament.

This type of performance from Banchero was great to see. He was incredibly efficient, which led to Orlando’s third straight win. He had a double-double on Sunday, but before that, he had a four-game stretch where he averaged just 12.3 points. This is the type of player they’ll need him to be if they want to make any noise in the postseason. Banchero has improved as a free throw shooter this season, which was on full display in this game. He still has holes in his fantasy game, but he’s certainly capable of filling up the box score.

In his first game since March 7, Black was limited to just 15 minutes off the bench. He had no problem being aggressive on offense with 11 shot attempts and seven free throw attempts during his time on the floor. Black would have been a candidate to win the Most Improved Player award if he hadn’t missed so many games over the past month. Still, he’ll be a pivotal piece for Orlando entering the postseason now that they’re the healthiest they’ve been since the beginning of the season.

McCollum nearly helped Atlanta make an insane comeback in the final seconds. They trailed by four with five seconds left, and McCollum knocked down a triple to make it a one-point game. Jalen Brunson hit two free throws, and then McCollum banked in a shot from half court, except it was still on his fingertips. Atlanta lost, but McCollum still posted a strong line, which included four stocks. He has had unexpected success as the replacement for Trae Young, which has helped the Hawks be one of the best teams in the league since the All-Star break.

Johnson has been a huge reason for Atlanta’s success this year, but this was a subpar performance for him, even if he was able to extend his double-double streak to five games. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, but efficiency was an issue in what was only the Hawks’ fourth loss since the All-Star break. Their next two games are against the Cavaliers, and they’ll need Johnson to be better than he was in this game to avoid the play-in tournament.

NAW has enjoyed a breakout first season with Atlanta, and he just continues to get better. He has provided third-round value in nine-category leagues this season, but over the past month, he ranks inside the top 10. This was his 10th game scoring at least 30 points this season, which is a mark he has achieved just 15 times in his career. This was also the fourth time in his career that he hit at least seven triples in a game, with all of those coming this season. He has certainly made a strong case to win the Most Improved Player award.

Wagner scored the ball well in his 17 minutes of game action. He was aggressive, getting up 12 shots in that time, and was productive on the glass during his minutes. Arguably, the only thing that truly didn’t go his way on Friday was the three-point shooting, which hasn’t been a strength to this point in his career. Nonetheless, the fifth-year forward has shown encouraging signs as he continues to knock off the rust before the regular season ends. Given his low workload in his return from injury, it’s hard to know what kind of production to expect from him during the fantasy playoffs.

Bane was effective on both ends of the floor on Friday, as his impact helped the Magic get back into the win column. Bane’s 27 points only trailed Wendell Carter Jr.'s 27 points for the most on the team. His three-point shooting was a factor, as was his ability to convert at the line. Additionally, the sixth-year guard tied a team high in rebounds, assists, and steals. Bane did it all for the Magic, and they’re going to need more of the same from him in an attempt to move up in the standings and out of the Play-In Tournament.

Carter’s 28 points led all Magic players on Friday, as Desmond Bane’s 27 points were the only other players’ in the vicinity. In 36 minutes, the veteran center was accurate outside the arc and really utilized the charity stripe to his advantage. Carter didn’t put up big numbers in any other statistical category. However, his high production as a scorer was enough to provide positive value from a fantasy standpoint.

Landale has been diagnosed with a high right ankle sprain sustained during the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s win over the Magic. With the two-week timeline being for a re-evaluation, the veteran backup is not guaranteed to be available when the playoffs begin.

While the rebounds and assists were solid, Banchero’s overall performance on Wednesday was disappointing. The Magic forward attempted nine shots from the field, the fewest in a game for him since December 23. As well as Banchero played in Tuesday’s win over the Suns, the inability to sustain that production factored into Orlando getting blown out by the Hawks.

Carter’s 14 points were the most among Magic starters, with Jamal Cain (17 points, one rebound and two three-pointers) doing his damage off the bench. Carter has reached double figures in scoring in 11 of his last 12 appearances, and he’s been more consistent as a rebounder as well. As a result, the Magic center has been a top-100 player over the past three weeks. With Orlando playing two more games in Week 23, Carter would be worth a look in some 12-team leagues if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

For most perimeter players, shooting 2-of-3 from beyond the arc is not a big deal. That isn’t the case for Daniels, who entered Monday shooting a career-low 15.5 percent from three. However, he may be trending in the right direction. Over his last five games, Daniels has made six of his 13 attempts, an excellent percentage for a player who has struggled as much as he has.
