As expected, Thompson will miss the first leg of this back-to-back, though he should return to play the Cavaliers on Friday. Caleb Martin should take on extra minutes off the bench, though he isn’t a strong fantasy option.

With Anthony Black joining Franz Wagner on the sidelines due to injury, da Silva returned to the Magic starting lineup on Wednesday. And the second-year forward took advantage of his latest opportunity, putting up 23 points on excellent percentages. Add in the rebounds and assists, and da Silva showed why he’s a must-roster player until Black or Wagner is healthy enough to return.

March has been an excellent month for Banchero thus far. In six games, he’s scored 24 points or more in five. He’s averaged 26.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 57 percent from the field and nearly 79 percent from the foul line. Even with the lackluster defensive production, Banchero has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats since March 1, according to Basketball Monster.

Bane finished Wednesday’s victory with his 12th 30-point game of the season. He’s now second on the Magic’s list of 30-point games in a player’s debut season, trailing Tracy McGrady (26). Bane only attempted three three-pointers against the Cavaliers, doing a lot of his work in the paint and just outside of it. And he could be in for another big game on Thursday, as the Magic host the Wizards.

Thompson is on track to sit out Thursday’s game. His availability does not significantly affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for Caleb Martin. Martin is not a player who needs to be streamed when he is not in the starting lineup.

Gafford’s lack of consistent minutes has limited his impact in fantasy basketball this season, but he he been solid recently. This was his third straight double-double, and he has played 24.5 minutes per game during this stretch, which is a slight increase over his season average. He has always been a player that can do a lot in limited action, and if he continues to pour in the double-doubles, he’ll be worth rostering.

Thompson has had some excellent games recently, though he did struggle in Toronto on Sunday. However, he has knocked down 18 three-pointers over his last four games and averaged 17.3 points in 23.1 minutes per game during that stretch. This has been a nice stretch for one of the best shooters in league history, but he hasn’t played a large enough role this season for him to be worth picking up off the waiver wire.

Flagg’s rough shooting stretch continued in this game. Over his four games since returning from an eight-game absence with a midfoot sprain, Flagg has shot 34.6 percent from the floor., though he has made up for it by averaging 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.8 blocks per game. He didn’t contribute any defensive stats in this one, but he did record a double-double and match his career high for rebounds. He’ll look to figure things out offensively in Memphis on Thursday.

Bane did a little bit of everything in Sunday’s win over the Bucks. He had 18 points and nine assists as well as four steals on the defensive end. The 27-year-old shooting guard has provided top-20 overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Magic have three games upcoming in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Banchero had a spinning layup and was fouled just before halftime to give the Magic a 67-55 lead.

Interestingly, Flagg has made seven field goals in each of the three games he’s played since returning from a left midfoot sprain. Sunday’s game was the second straight in which he’s played 30 minutes, and the rookie recorded a complete stat line that included five defensive contributions. The Mavericks play four games in Week 20, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Count Gafford among the post players who have a clear idea where they’re at their best offensively. He did not miss a shot on Sunday, with all ten of his makes coming in the restricted area. Add in a free throw as part of a three-point play, and the result was a season-high point total. Gafford has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances, which gives his fantasy value a slight boost despite his playing time still being restricted.

Suggs finished Saturday’s victory with a complete stat line, and he’s recorded at least four assists in each of his last four appearances. During this stretch, the Magic guard has totaled 24 assists and seven turnovers, an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio. Similar to Boston’s Derrick White, Suggs’ production across the stat line has helped compensate for a low field-goal percentage in terms of his fantasy value.

Interestingly, Bane’s 11th game with at least 30 points did not include a three-pointer. The Magic guard missed all five of his attempts, but he was a perfect 10-of-10 from the foul line.

While his role makes Marshall a player worth rolling the dice on in fantasy leagues, his value has been ranked outside of the top-200 since the All-Star break.

He’ll look to end Week 19 on a high note when the Mavericks visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Outside of the points and three-pointers, Thompson’s stat line was incredibly lean. That said, those who are still rostering the veteran wing do so explicitly for the points and triples.
