After a slow start to the season, Bane continues to make his way up the rankings. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and the season-long value is approaching top-100 status. Bane has recorded at least five assists in five straight games, and the improved production in that category is one reason why his overall fantasy value has improved.

Wagner didn’t have to extend himself too far on Tuesday, as the Magic were able to sit their key players for most of the second half. Over the past two weeks, he has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats, with the production being slightly lower than Wagner’s season-long value. While Franz’s season-long production hasn’t aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (36), he isn’t far off. Next up for Orlando is a matchup with the Pistons on Friday, with the winner advancing to the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

Orlando grabbed control of Tuesday’s game with a 51-point second quarter, and Black was in the middle of it all. He scored 27 points in the first half, establishing a career-high for points in a half. He would finish with his first career 30-point game and sat out most of the second half due to Orlando pushing its lead out to 46 points. Jalen Suggs, who was ejected late in the second quarter, should be available for Friday’s crucial NBA Cup matchup with the Pistons, so Black will come off the bench for that one.

With the Magic leading by an 82-58 margin, things got heated between the two teams. Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond and Orlando’s Wendell Carter Jr. squared up on each other, but they were separated before Suggs decided to get involved. For their roles in the altercation, Carter, Drummond, Orlando’s Desmond Bane and Philadelphia’s Jabari Walker received technical fouls, while Suggs was ejected. He finishes with four points, five rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocked shots.

Curry knocked down six three-pointers on his way to a fifth 30-point performance in his last six games. Golden State — missing defensive anchor Draymond Green due to a sprained right foot — opened the night in an 11-0 hole before ripping off a 17-3 run and exploding for 41 points in the second quarter to take a commanding 67-55 lead into halftime. The 37-year-old generational talent is averaging a sublime 28.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, four assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks through 15 games. The Warriors will try to keep the momentum going when they host the Rockets on Wednesday night.

The Magic looked extremely sluggish on the second night of a back-to-back after a late arrival into Boston and playing without offensive catalyst Paolo Banchero for the sixth straight game while he continues recovering from a groin strain. Their struggles came mostly on the defensive end of the floor as they allowed the Celtics to shoot over 60 percent from the floor. Wagner took just 10 shots on the heels of a 37-point explosion during Saturday’s impressive win over the Knicks but managed to get to the line for eight free throw attempts to help salvage his night. The Magic have just two games this upcoming week with road matchups on tap against the 76ers and Pistons.

Bane was asked to shoulder an astronomical scoring workload once again on the second night of a back-to-back with superstar Paolo Banchero (groin) sidelined for the sixth straight contest.

Howard was a one-man wrecking crew off the bench in the closing stages, fully capitalizing on extra run on the second night of a back-to-back. The 22-year-old former lottery pick drilled five triples on a career-high 13 attempts and astonishingly did most of his damage against Boston’s starters in crunch time. It came completely out of nowhere, too — his previous season high was just eight points.

Wagner propelled Orlando to its sixth win in seven games, drilling 13 of 19 shots and four of six from beyond the arc in one of his most efficient outings of the season. The 24-year-old playmaker has topped 25 points in four of his last six contests and once again took the lead role with Paolo Banchero sidelined for a fifth straight game due to a lingering groin issue.

Bane and teammate Franz Wagner formed a devastating one-two punch early, combining for 38 first-half points and ultimately accounting for nearly half (64) of Orlando’s 133-point explosion. The only thing missing for Bane right now is his trademark three-point accuracy — he’s at 33.7 percent through 17 games in his Magic debut — but that feels more like a temporary glitch than a new reality for a sharpshooter who’s lived around 40 percent from deep his entire career.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Heat, Butler recorded a solid stat line against the Trail Blazers.
