Suggs has dealt with back, quad and knee issues that have kept him out for all but one game since January 3. While he’s considered out indefinitely, it’s difficult to imagine he returns to action before the end of the season. Suggs can be dropped in fantasy leagues while Cole Anthony and Anthony Black handle the point guard minutes for Orlando.

Carter Jr. continues to start at center for the Magic, but it hasn’t resulted in a massive leap in production. He has been solid on the glass, grabbing double digit rebounds in three of his last five starts. Carter Jr. remains the best fantasy center in Orlando, but neither he nor Goga Bitadze has provided standard league in recent weeks. Carter Jr. ranks just inside the top-150 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Per usual, Wagner and Paolo Banchero were the main sources of offense for Orlando. They combined to score 68 of Orlando’s 115 points, which wasn’t enough to counter Stephen Curry’s 56 points. Wagner has had a spectacular season, though he has been quieter in recent weeks. That can likely be attributed to sharing the ball and court with Banchero. Wagner ranks just outside the top-75 in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks, a far drop from his season-long value of just outside the top-25.

Golden State didn’t have an answer for Banchero early on in this game, which allowed him to score 24 points in the first half alone. Banchero wasn’t quite able to match his first half scoring total after the break, but he was able to get over 40 points for the second time this season and the first time since October. Banchero also shot a high percentage from the floor, which was great to see after he went eight straight games making less than 50 percent of his shot attempts. He’ll look to keep this going into Orlando’s final game of the week, which is a home matchup with Toronto on Sunday.

Bane led Memphis in minutes (43) on Tuesday, but he’s in danger of sitting out Friday against New York. If Bane is sidelined, Vince Williams Jr. and Luke Kennard could see more playing time.

Anthony suffered a knee injury Tuesday against Cleveland and left that game early. Evidently, the injury isn’t severe, and he’ll be back in action without missing a game. Anthony should handle his typical workload.

Anthony didn’t return after hurting his knee against the Cavaliers on Tuesday but went through shootaround Thursday. He’s been starting at point guard lately, but could be replaced by Anthony Black if Anthony is not healthy enough to play.

Jackson Jr. was incredibly efficient on the offensive end in this one. He had 28 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field including a 3-of-3 performance from behind the three-point line. The 25-year-old power forward also contributed on defense with a steal and two blocks. Jackson Jr. was perhaps due for a game like this as he hadn’t had more than 22 points in any of his last six games entering play Tuesday.

Bane played a team-high 43 minutes in the overtime win over the Suns Tuesday. The 26-year-old shooting guard bounced back in a big way after a 2-of-13 performance against the Cavaliers on Sunday. Bane had at least seven assists for the third time in his last four games. He’s provided top-20 fantasy vale over the last two months after a slow start to the season.

Morant came up huge as he drove the lane, hung in the air and drained a shot to tie the game with the clock winding down at the end of regulation. In total, it was a 7-of-25 performance from the field for the 25-year-old point guard, but Morant came through at the foul line sinking all 14 of his free throw attempts. He’s only had at least 10 assists twice in February and is yet to have a 30-point game this month as the Grizzlies seem to get even contributions from their key players, making it difficult for Morant to have massive games with regularity.
