Wagner struggled with his shot on Tuesday but contributed in other ways as Orlando earned the seventh seed in the East. The 13 rebounds were the most he’s grabbed in a game this season, and the Magic wing only hit double figures in that category twice before Tuesday. Add in the assists and steals; all wasn’t lost for DFS players who slotted Wagner into their lineups. That said, Wagner will need to be much better if the Magic are to have any chance of knocking off the Celtics in the first round.

Carter was excellent on Tuesday, and the time off that comes with earning the seventh seed should benefit him. The Magic center rolled his right ankle during the first half and banged knees with a Hawks defender during the third quarter. The good news is that neither injury forced Carter out of Tuesday’s game immediately, and Orlando pulling away during the fourth quarter got him a little more time on the bench late. The Magic don’t play Boston in Game 1 of their first-round series until Sunday, which should help Carter regain strength.

Orlando’s starting backcourt of Cory Joseph and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope combined to score 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field. Black was one of two reserves to pick up the slack, combining with Cole Anthony to score 42 points on 16-of-24 shooting. The second-year guard scored 41 points in Orlando’s final two regular-season games, likely boosting his confidence ahead of the Play-In tournament. Tuesday’s victory means Black and the Magic will be the seventh seed in the East, and they’ll face the reigning champion Celtics in the first round. Game 1 is set for Sunday in Boston.

On a night when starting guards Cory Joseph (5/5/2 with one three-pointer) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (nine points, two assists, one block and one three-pointer) combined to shoot 4-of-14 from the field, the Magic received vital contributions from both “Anthonys.” Cole shot well over 50 percent from the field in scoring his 26 points. His highlights included a 4-of-6 fourth quarter in which he made three three-pointers. Anthony Black also had a big night off the bench, but Cole is the more capable scorer. He’ll need to play to this level consistently if the Magic are to have a chance of upsetting Boston in the first round. Game 1 will be on Sunday.

Brown is practicing after missing Boston’s last three regular-season games. The Celtics forward has been dealing with some knee pain and hopes to return to full health for the playoffs.

Isaac only played 19 minutes in his first start of the season, but that was enough time for him to record his first double-double since January. Isaac has averaged 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks while playing 19 minutes across Orlando’s last two games. Injuries have plagued his career, but he’s an elite defender when healthy. Isaac could play a pivotal role for the Magic during the postseason.

Black’s second year in the league has been better than his first, and he was able to close out the regular season on a high note. After scoring 21 points on Friday, Black added a 20-point double-double in this game, which was the first double-double of his career. The 21-year-old should be an important rotation piece for Orlando during the postseason, but we won’t see lines like this from him in the playoffs. Still, the 2023 No. 6 overall pick still has plenty of upside.

Kornet made the most of his starting nod on Sunday with a well-rounded performance. The reserve big man has had quite a few strong showings in the final weeks of the regular season. He’ll likely play a modest role behind Kristaps Porzingis in the postseason.

It wasn’t surprising to see Pritchard thrive with the keys to the offense in the Celtics’ final game of the season. He finished the regular season scoring at least 20 points in three of his final five games. His role will likely diminish come playoff time, though. Despite how exceptional he’s been off the bench this season.

The only starter that will be the same as Friday is da Silva. KCP and WCJ sat on Friday but will surprisingly suit up in the inconsequential season finale. With a Play-In matchup with the Hawks coming in just a couple days, it’s unclear how much KCP and WCJ will play. Black will replace the injured Cory Joseph in the starting lineup, with Isaac getting his first start of the season. Gary Harris, Caleb Houstan and Goga Bitadze will come off the bench after starting on Friday, though Houstan and Bitadze should still play significant roles.

Joseph will not play in Sunday’s regular season finale, as the Magic will host the Hawks in a play-in tournament matchup on Tuesday. Anthony Black will replace the veteran guard in the starting lineup, and he’s worth the risk in active deep leagues. He may not be a consistent shooter, but Black can rack up some steals against a Hawks lineup that will lack its top three players (Trae Young, Onyeka Okongwu and Dyson Daniels).

There’s nothing on the line for the Celtics on Sunday, as they have already secured the two-seed in the Eastern Conference. White and Holiday will get the day off to rest for the playoffs. Payton Pritchard will figure prominently in the Celtics’ rotation, as should JD Davison and Jordan Walsh. Pritchard is the available Celtic best-equipped to blow up offensively on Sunday.

Boston is locked into the two-seed in the East, so there’s no reason for the team’s core players to see action in Sunday’s regular-season finale. Brown and Tatum are among the absentees, with the former’s status being more concerning. Brown has received pain management injections in his right knee, but the expectation is that he’ll be good to go for the playoffs. Tatum is simply resting on Sunday. Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman will play rotation minutes against the Hornets.

Joseph was the lone typical starter that suited up for Orlando on Friday, though he only played six minutes. If he plays in the regular season finale, don’t expect him to play a significant role. Anthony Black and Cole Anthony should fill out most of the point guard minutes.

Davison was drafted 53rd overall in 2022 and has been with Boston his entire career, though he has spent most of his time with their G League affiliate in Maine. He has made 15 appearances in the NBA this season and will likely play a significant role in the regular season finale on Sunday. The 22-year-old will remain with the Celtics on a standard deal heading into next season, but he will likely spend most of his time in Maine once again.

Brown missed Boston’s previous two games and will remain out for Sunday’s season final. He’ll have nearly two weeks between his final regular-season appearance and Game 1 of their first-round series, which will be against either the Magic or Hawks. It isn’t an encouraging sign that he had to receive injections to address the lingering knee issue, but at this point, it isn’t expected to impact his postseason availability.

Hauser came off the bench and played 22 minutes in the Celtics’ 36-point victory over the Hornets Friday. The 27-year-old small forward was feeling it from behind the three-point line as he made six three-pointers on his way to a 20-point game. The Celtics have a rematch with the Hornets Sunday afternoon and it’s likely Hauser will once again have a significant role.

Pritchard played 22 minutes off the bench as the Celtics won by 36 points Friday against the Hornets. The 27-year-old point guard, potentially in line for the Sixth Man of the Year award, was efficient with 22 points on 11 shots and four made three-pointers. While Pritchard comes off the bench, he’s a key player for the Celtics, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him unavailable for the season finale Sunday against the Hornets.

White played 34 minutes as the Celtics blew out the Hornets by 36 points Friday. The 30-year-old point guard had 19 points on 12 shots including three three-pointers. White also dished out seven assists and had a major impact on the defensive end with one steal and four blocks. White is certainly a candidate to miss Sunday’s rematch against the Hornets as it’s the last game of the regular season for the Celtics.

With four starters sidelined and the fifth, Cory Joseph, only playing six minutes, Black played plenty on Friday. While the points, rebounds, assists and steals were solid, the second-year point guard was also responsible for five turnovers. Black will be in Orlando’s postseason contention, but the last two games should mean more opportunities for him to play with the ball in his hands. Overall, he was good on Friday, and Sunday’s game against the Hawks will present a similar opportunity.

The Magic are guaranteed the seventh seed in the East, meaning they’ll host the 7 vs. 8 play-in game early next week. As a result, four starters did not play on Friday, and Cory Joseph only logged six minutes. The absences meant more opportunities for Queen, and the two-way contract guard took advantage. He only missed two shots on the night, providing solid value in multiple categories. Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Hawks won’t mean anything, so Queen may get to play extended minutes again.

Isaac entered the season with an incentive worth $2.6 million if he could appear in 70 games. Given the Magic forward’s injury history, few expected him to meet the number. Isaac did so on Friday, with the 70 games being the most in a season since the 2018-19 campaign. He was productive against the Pacers, recording a complete stat line, including his first double-digit point total since February 8. The Magic, who have secured the seventh seed in the East, finish their regular season on Sunday against the Hawks.

Based on the probable tags, White and Holiday are on track to play on Tuesday. Payton Pritchard’s fantasy ceiling would be raised if either sits, even though he’ll likely remain on the bench. Sam Hauser is another Celtics player who would have added value to a rotation lacking White or Holiday.

Horford suffered a sprained right knee during Sunday’s win over the Wizards and will not play on Tuesday. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) could be cleared to play, which would more than help account for Horford’s absence. Also in line to benefit is Luke Kornet, who grabbed 14 rebounds on Sunday.

With Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, the Celtics went with a bigger lineup, starting Kornet and Al Horford. Both players recorded double-doubles, with Horford adding 11 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes. While Kornet’s season-long value has been low, there have been moments when he’s worth streaming. The Celtics play four games during Week 23, and the 7-foot-2 center should have more opportunities to play extended minutes.

As has been the case on numerous occasions this season, Pritchard is more valuable to fantasy managers when the Celtics are down at least one starter. The reigning champs played Sunday without Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, raising Pritchard’s fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench. With the Celtics playing four games during Week 23, he’ll be worth adding in shallow leagues that will remain active.

For fantasy managers whose leagues ended with Week 22, White capped an excellent season with another quality effort. However, for those whose leagues run through Week 23, it’s fair to wonder how much they’ll see of the Celtics guard. Boston would need to win out while having Cleveland lose each of its final four games to claim the top seed in the East. If the Celtics make White available for all four games, he’ll continue to provide excellent fantasy value. But the priority will likely be to ensure the team is at full strength heading into the playoffs, even if there’s still a chance to earn the top seed.

Brown is good to go for Sunday’s game, meaning the Celtics will only be without two starters (Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis).

If either sits, Al Horford will likely move into the starting lineup, with Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard taking on enhanced roles within the rotation.

White provided excellent value rebounds, assists and three-pointers as the Celtics took care of the Suns. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The lone concern for fantasy managers who have White rostered is Sunday’s game against the Wizards, as that could be seen as an opportunity to give him a night off. Boston is essentially locked into the two-seed in the East, so resting up for the postseason may be the priority the rest of the way.

While Tatum had a rough night from three, shooting 1-of-8, he was 8-of-10 from two, with six of those makes occurring in the restricted area. The result was a 50 percent night from the field and a complete stat line for Tatum, who has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. His season-long value remains high heading into Boston’s final game of Week 22 on Sunday against the Wizards.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game with a knee injury, Brown looked healthy against the Suns. He shot 6-of-10 from the field in the first half, setting the tone in a game where the reigning champs won all four quarters. Over the past two weeks, Brown has only been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats, due mainly to his limited defensive production. However, he’s shot over 50 percent from the field during this run, so efficiency on that end of the floor has not been an issue for the Celtics wing.

Wagner continued to pour in the buckets in his 10th consecutive game with at least 20 points. The 23-year-old small forward, along with teammate Paolo Banchero, have become one of the best scoring duos in the league.

Banchero had a monster effort against the Wizards on Thursday with 33 points, 18 rebounds and eight assists, which put him just two assists shy of a triple-double. The 22-year-old power forward bounced back with three made three-pointers, which was something he hadn’t done in his previous six games entering play Thursday. Banchero still turned the ball over four times, giving him at least four turnovers in four of his last five games. While the turnovers have dragged down his value in nine-category leagues, he remains a top-50 option in eight-category leagues over the last two weeks.

Caldwell-Pope is on a heater from deep, having shot 10-of-12 from beyond the arc in his last two games. Tuesday’s three-point tally of seven was a season-high, surpassing the six he made in a November 27 win over the Bulls. The issue is that Caldwell-Pope does not provide much value outside of points and three-pointers; he’s a liability in fantasy leagues when those shots aren’t falling. Over the past two weeks, KCP has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats, four rounds better than his season-long production.

On Tuesday, Wagner and Paolo Banchero became the first duo in Magic history to score 20 points or more in nine straight games. Averaging 23.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, Franz has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The issue for fantasy managers has been the lackluster defensive production, with Wagner averaging 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocked shots. However, this isn’t a massive deal for category league managers who receive solid output from other players in those categories.

Sidelined for nine of Orlando’s last 10 games with a toe injury, Anthony returned to the rotation on Tuesday. He was used in a reserve role, as the team is taking a cautious approach after an aggravation of the initial toe injury sidelined Anthony for seven of those nine games. He filled the stat sheet, but those who have him rostered took a hit in the field goal percentage category. Anthony’s return meant fewer minutes for Cory Joseph (6/2/1 with two three-pointers) and Anthony Black (4/2/3/3), who played 18 and 20 minutes, respectively. The Magic play their final game of Week 22 in Washington on Thursday, so managers who have any of these guards rostered will want to free up that roster spot for the weekend.
