Franz landed awkwardly on his left leg during Sunday’s game, and while Charania’s report doesn’t include an official timeline from the team, managers should expect a multi-week absence. Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva both stepped up when Paolo Banchero missed time, and both should get a similar boost with Wagner unavailable.

Bulls coach Billy Donovan said it was a non-contact practice, but Dosunmu didn’t participate. Dosunmu also went to a doctor after Sunday night’s loss because his thumb was bothering him. He already missed one game with the sprained thumb, so it’s possible he aggravated the injury. More updates should be provided closer to Chicago’s next game, which isn’t until Friday.

Giddey took a team-high 15 shots in this one as the Bulls fell behind early and never quite recovered. The 23-year-old guard has scuffled a bit recently as his rebounding and assists numbers have taken a hit over the past two weeks. He’s remained a steady 20-point scorer, but the Bulls are reeling of late, having lost seven consecutive games since November 24. They have just two games on tap for next week when they face the Hornets and Pelicans.

Buzelis reached double figures for the fourth consecutive contest, but finished a season-worst minus-30 in this one as the injury-depleted Warriors took care of business on the second night of a back-to-back. The 21-year-old offers some scoring upside but isn’t much of an impact fantasy contributor elsewhere at this early stage of his career. He remains a work in progress.

Playing in his second game back from a lengthy layoff, Banchero saw his playing time rise from 20 to 24 minutes. He was an inefficient 4-of-11 from the field, and he’s 7-of-19 for 25 total points across his last two outings. Banchero still looks like he’s ramping up and shaking off the rust, so fantasy managers should be patient with him.

Black shot an inefficient 6-of-16 from the floor and 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. He also committed four turnovers, but fantasy managers playing in eight-cat leagues or those not worried about field-goal percentage were surely pleased with this performance. With Franz Wagner (leg) potentially set to miss time this week, Black could see an uptick in minutes. Jalen Suggs (leg) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and though he was able to return, he may be banged up, which could result in even more playing time for Black. Black is rostered in only 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues and should be picked up for the week ahead.

Suggs injured his leg in the fourth quarter, but he returned to the bench before the end of the game.

After back-to-back 37-point outings, Bane cooled off on Wednesday. However, he still dished out six assists, and he has recorded at least five in seven of his last eight games.

After scoring a season-high 37 points in Friday’s win over the Pistons, Bane matched that total on Monday. He was a bit too deferential to begin his first season with the Magic, but that hasn’t been the case recently, especially after Orlando lost Paolo Banchero to a strained groin. Since the November 12 win over the Knicks, Bane has averaged 24.1 points per game on 47.1 percent shooting from the field and 96.4 percent from the foul line.

After Jalen Suggs (14/4/1/4/1 with two three-pointers) made two free throws with just over six seconds remaining to push the Magic lead out to three, Black made the play that clinched a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. His rejection of a Duncan Robinson three-point attempt sealed the victory, and the third-year guard continues to make strides. Black didn’t shoot the ball well from the field, but fantasy managers still received solid value due to the overall line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

With Paolo Banchero (groin) out, the Magic have looked to Wagner more often, and on most nights, he has been up to the task.

Interestingly, while Bane scored a season-high 37 points, he did not make a single three-pointer. The Magic guard missed all five of his attempts, but he shot 65 percent from inside the arc and was a frequent visitor to the foul line. All that was missing from Bane’s stat line was a three-pointer, and the overall production compensated for that. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-25 player in nine-cat formats, rebounding from a slow start to the season. Orlando, which advanced to the NBA Cup quarterfinals with Friday’s victory, won’t play again this week. But the Magic have four games during Week 7.
