Dëmin, who has started Brooklyn’s last seven games, is dealing with a sore neck and jawline. However, the probable tag suggests that the rookie will ultimately be cleared to play. If Dëmin can’t play, Terance Mann will take on more of the playmaking responsibilities. Even with an expanded role, Mann hasn’t been the most dependable fantasy option this season.

Claxton is dealing with a sprained left elbow. While he is listed as probable on the initial injury report for Sunday, the Nets’ starting center is a left-handed shooter. If Claxton can’t play against Toronto, Day’Ron Sharpe will likely move into the starting lineup.

Here’s an oversimplification: Porter was able to get whatever shot he wanted from anywhere on the floor against an undersized Celtics squad. He eclipsed 20 points for the eighth straight game and posted his fifth 30-point outing of the season, drilling four of six from deep and shooting nearly 62 percent overall as Boston had no answers for his blend of size, speed and athleticism. The 27-year-old scoring machine has delivered third-round fantasy production so far, averaging 24.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals through 14 games.

Claxton took full advantage of Boston’s lackluster frontcourt as he seemed to be able to get to the rim whenever he wanted against relatively inexperienced big men Neemias Queta and Luka Garza. The double-digit assists were the real surprise here as it was the first time he was in double figures in that department since last March. He’s averaging 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks through 15 games this season.

It doesn’t totally show up on the stat sheet, but Clowney was a real X-factor in this contest as he relentlessly attacked the rim early on, finishing the first half with 14 points while also blocking three shots on the defensive end of the floor. He cooled off a bit in the second half but led the Nets in minutes over the final two quarters. He would’ve had an even bigger night offensively had he not gone ice-cold from three-point range, hitting just three of 11 attempts from distance.

Banchero’s streak of absences will extend to five games, which should mean a fifth straight start for Tristan da Silva, who has played well with his new opportunity. Desmond Bane has stepped up with Banchero sidelined, sporting averages of 20.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.5 triples across his last four outings.

Wagner did most of his damage at the foul line, scoring half of his 20 points at the charity stripe. Over the past two weeks, he has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With Paolo Banchero out, Wagner has a slightly higher fantasy ceiling, but he has been Orlando’s best category league option regardless of who’s available.

Bane didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, going 2-for-9 from inside the arc. However, fantasy managers who have the Magic guard rostered received solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, Bane has been ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats, so progress is being made after a slow start to his first season in Orlando. The Magic finish Week 5 with games against the Knicks and Celtics on Saturday and Sunday.

Da Silva has hit double figures in all four games he’s started in place of the injured Paolo Banchero (groin). During this stretch, the second-year forward is ranked just outside the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Da Silva didn’t record any defensive stats on Thursday, but he should be rostered in a higher percentage of Yahoo! leagues. Orlando has games on Saturday and Sunday to end Week 5, and da Silva is rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo leagues.

Suggs led six Magic players in double figures with 23 points, recording season-highs in points and three-pointers. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. The most significant concern for Suggs’ managers is his availability, as back-to-backs remain off the table. Orlando has another one this weekend, hosting the Knicks on Saturday before visiting Boston the following night.

When asked specifically about when Banchero might return, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said, “They don’t put timelines on it. As he recovers from each session, we’ll go from there.” It sounds like Banchero is day-to-day, but it’s worth noting that there is no immediate plan for him to return this weekend.

This will be a fourth game in a row that Banchero will remain sidelined, which should mean another start for Tristan da Silva, who has played well in that role. He should continue to be rostered until Banchero returns, and it’s unclear how much longer he’ll remain out.

For the third time this season, WCJ was able to record a double-double. He was the leading rebounder in this game, and the Magic outrebounded the Warriors, which contributed to the win. Carter’s minutes are up this year, which has led to him averaging more rebounds than he did in each of the last two seasons. He’ll continue to play a large role for Orlando as the starting center, which should lead to more double-doubles moving forward.

Sharpe hit double figures for the third time this season on Tuesday, and he’s produced respectable scoring and rebounding averages over the last two weeks. During this stretch, he’s averaged 7.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists, but the defensive stats have been lacking on most nights. And with Nic Claxton (7/11/3/0/1) ahead of him in the pecking order, Sharpe’s fantasy ceiling is extremely limited. He’s only worth rostering on nights when Clax is unavailable.

Jalen Suggs (groin) was back after a one-game absence, which pushed Anthony Black back to the bench. However, that didn’t stop Black from having a strong night. After scoring 18 points in Sunday’s loss, Black set a new season-high for scoring in this game. His scoring has been inconsistent, but he has had a handful of strong offensive performances this year. Black’s fantasy upside will remain limited as long as he is in a reserve role behind Suggs and Desmond Bane.

After shooting 27.3 percent from three in his lone season at BYU, Dëmin was not expected by many to be as productive a perimeter shooter as he’s been. The rookie shot 4-of-7 from deep on Tuesday and is averaging 1.8 three-pointers per game at a respectable 36 percent clip. Dëmin is shooting 37.6 percent from the field overall, and that needs to change if he’s to become a player who should be rostered in more than six percent of Yahoo! leagues as he currently is.

Since missing the Nets’ November 3 loss to the Timberwolves, Porter has scored at least 21 points in seven straight games. During this stretch, the Nets forward has averaged 27.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes, shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 89.6 percent from the foul line. That’s the production many fantasy managers hoped Porter would provide in his new home, posting gaudy numbers for a rebuilding team. The lone concern for the rest of the season is a potential shutdown as the front office prioritizes maximizing its draft lottery odds.

It was a slow start to the year for Bane, but he has been on fire recently. He’s scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven games and his at least two triples in four straight games. Paolo Banchero (groin) is still sidelined, which has forced Bane into a larger opportunity. That has certainly helped him turn his season around. He also set a new season-high for steals, though that isn’t going to be a category he contributes in consistently.

Suggs sat out Sunday’s overtime loss to the Rockets with a sore right groin, resulting in Anthony Black moving into the starting lineup. Black will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Sunday’s loss to the Rockets was the first that Suggs missed for a reason other than knee injury management, with a sore right groin being the reason for his absence.

The Magic were without Jalen Suggs (groin) for Sunday’s game, leading to Black making his third start of the season. The third-year guard finished two points shy of his previous high and recorded a complete stat line. Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, Black is only worth a look on nights when he’s starting for Suggs. Orlando ends Week 5 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, so Black may have added value on those final days.

Bane’s game-winning three-pointer against Portland on November 10 may have provided the spark he needed after starting the season slowly. He’s scored 19 points or more in four straight, and 22 or more in three of those outings. Bane finished Sunday’s overtime loss with a complete stat line, and he’s attempted 38 shots in the two games Orlando has played without Paolo Banchero (groin). The “buy low” period for Bane has likely come to an end. The Magic play four games during Week 5, starting with the Warriors on Tuesday.

Wagner has totaled 54 points in the two games the Magic have played since losing Paolo Banchero to a strained groin, shooting 15-of-38 from the field. While shooting efficiency has taken a hit, the raw numbers help compensate. Sunday’s game was the last of Orlando’s road trip, so more should be learned about Banchero’s injury and how long he’ll be out pretty soon. Until he returns, Wagner will be the unquestioned first option for Orlando on the offensive end of the floor.

Porter fell just short of a triple-double as he powered the Nets to their second win of the season in a battle between Eastern Conference bottom-dwellers. He dominated the first half, knocking down six of his first eight shots and scoring 19 points to give Brooklyn a 10-point halftime lead, then tacked on 15 more after the break as the Nets cruised to a comfortable victory. The 24-year-old has emerged as Brooklyn’s go-to option this season, averaging 23.3 points and 7.7 rebounds through 11 games. The Nets face a three-game week ahead, including back-to-back matchups with the Celtics before taking on the Raptors next weekend.

Turnovers aside, Suggs had a productive night against Brooklyn, but what is most encouraging is the minutes. He logged 28 minutes and has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last three games. Considering he had been limited to roughly 20 minutes prior to that, he’s clearly getting closer to being at full strength. That doesn’t mean he’s going to play back-to-backs, but this is a positive development for Suggs.

Bane entered this game having scored exactly 22 points in three of his last four games, and while he wasn’t able to match that mark again, he was still able to have a solid night. What is even more encouraging is that he continues to play big minutes and get plenty of shots. His 18 shots matched his second-most attempts in a game this season, and his 40 minutes were a season-best. Especially if Paolo Banchero (groin) remains out, Bane will continue to play a larger role on offense, which should help him get back to producing how he did in Memphis.

Wagner was excellent last season when Paolo Banchero was unavailable, and that continued on Friday, with Banchero sidelined with a groin injury. Wagner turned in a strong line and came up big late; he knocked down back-to-back triples with less than two minutes left in the game to move the Magic from down one point to up five. Wagner has been solid all season, but if Banchero misses more time, Wagner will continue to produce like a fantasy star.

MPJ provided his usual supply of buckets, but his playmaking was what was intriguing. His previous career-high for assists was six, but he matched that mark in the first quarter and surpassed it by halftime. He didn’t add any more dimes after the break, but he was still able to have an excellent night despite the loss. MPJ will continue to be a fantasy stud on a tanking team, though managers shouldn’t expect him to dish out that many assists often.

Clowney has been an effective scoring option as a starter for the Nets, and that trend continued in this game. He has started the last six games for Brooklyn and has scored in double figures in five of those. This was a subpar shooting performance from him, with half his points coming from the free throw line and the other half coming from beyond the arc. Still, his starting spot feels safe, and he has an intriguing matchup coming up on Sunday to close out the week.

Williams has been a solid reserve for Brooklyn this season, where he has been an inconsistent source of offense. He has been able to hit shots from deep frequently, but he has been more valuable to the Nets than he has been for fantasy managers. He was one of five players to score in double figures for Brooklyn, but that wasn’t enough for them to get a win. Williams should be left on the waiver wire unless he gets the opportunity to start, which has yet to happen this season.

In his own words after the game on Friday, Banchero said that he believed he avoided a serious injury, and the MRI results would back that up. While a groin strain is not great news, it’s far better than there being any sort of tear. The Magic can afford to hold Banchero out against the lowly Nets and then he will “be evaluated daily moving forward.” That means he could return on Sunday against the Rockets or, more likely, sometime next week. In the meantime, Franz Wagner will see a bigger role in the office, and Anthony Black should get more minutes off the bench.

Banchero said he hurt his groin when he leapt for a rebound and then tried to accelerate quickly. He felt soreness on a couple of trips up and down the court and decided to remove himself from the game before it got worse. “This (groin injury), I can still do movements. There just was a pain there. (Trainers) said if it was torn or anything, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. So, that’s encouraging.” The Magic have no timeline for Banchero’s injury as of yet, but they will have a better idea after the 23-year-old undergoes imaging.

Back on the bench after starting Monday’s win over Portland for the then-absent Jalen Suggs, Black stepped up with one of his best performances of the season Wednesday night. The 17 points are the most he’s scored in a game since October 30, when he dropped a season-high 20 on the Bulls. With Black being his usual annoying self on the defensive end, he helped limit the Knicks to 44.3 percent shooting. However, good showing aside, Black is a player most valuable to fantasy managers on nights when Suggs (14/2/3/1/1 with one three-pointer) is unavailable.

At this rate, Bane’s game-winning shot against Portland on Monday may be what fantasy managers look back on as the turning point in his season. Two nights removed from that much-needed event, Bane scored another 22 points on Wednesday while also dishing out eight assists.

Powell, who entered Sunday 0-of-3 from deep, made all three of his attempts against the Knicks. He isn’t a player who should be rostered in fantasy leagues right now.

And while the shot attempts have increased, MPJ has shot 47 percent or better in each of those outings. Whether he can continue to shoot at the clip or not, Porter is in a spot where he can put up massive individual numbers.

Claxton was one of three Nets players to reach double figures in scoring on a night in which the team shot just 42.5 percent from the field. Additionally, he led Brooklyn in rebounding and finished as the only player on the team to record at least one blocked shot and one steal. While his rebounding numbers are slightly down, the seventh-year center is posting career-highs in points and assists per game.
