Banchero has missed Orlando’s last ten games since straining his groin during a November 14 win over the Knicks. Tristan da Silva has filled in admirably in the Magic star’s absence, but he’ll be headed to the bench whenever Banchero is cleared to play. There may be a minutes restriction at play once Paolo is available, so da Silva will still have value in deep leagues.

Ware’s performance in Dallas was the most recent example that he does not need to start to provide reliable fantasy value. And it was a game that he needed after going scoreless and playing just 16 minutes in Monday’s win over the Clippers. Ware recorded his ninth double-double of the season, and he’s had one in all four games that he’s managed to score at least 20 points. Even with the poor effort against the Clippers, the second-year center has been a top-30 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Since making his season debut on November 24, Herro has scored at least 20 points in all five games. Averaging 23.8 points on 52.4 percent shooting from the field, he has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Herro’s production is a round worse in eight-cat, but fantasy managers aren’t likely to lose any sleep over that. Miami did not have Norman Powell (ankle) on Wednesday, but he has played three of the five games that Herro has been available for. As long as they can stay healthy, both players’ fantasy values should be fine.

Adebayo was one of three Heat players to score at least 20 points on Wednesday, and he’s met or exceeded that number in consecutive games for the first time since late October. Since returning from a toe injury that sidelined him for six games, the Heat center/forward has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. When Miami is whole, which they weren’t on Wednesday (Norman Powell was out), Bam’s ceiling as a scorer may be lower. However, he’s still capable of providing excellent value given his overall skill set.

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. Over the past two weeks, Bane has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. While he has been more aggressive in looking for his shot, especially since Paolo Banchero’s groin injury, Bane has not neglected setting up others, which has boosted his fantasy value.

Wagner had a chance to send Wednesday’s game into overtime, but San Antonio’s Luke Kornet blocked his layup attempt as time expired. The Magic forward has scored at least 21 points in four straight games, and he’s averaging 23 per game for the season. Wagner continues to close in on top-50 value in eight-cat formats and has already crossed that threshold in nine-cat. The Magic play two more games in Week 7, starting with the Heat on Friday.

Suggs recorded his fourth 20-point game of the season on Wednesday, attempting a season-high 20 shots. He’s been a more active scorer recently, attempting 17, 13 and 20 shots in his last three appearances. And with Paolo Banchero still out, there’s room for Suggs to bring a bit more to the table on that end of the floor. Despite shooting 40.2 percent from the field, he has been a top-30 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Larsson suffered a sprained right foot during Monday’s win over the Clippers, but he is healthy enough to play and start in Dallas. Norman Powell (ankle) is out despite the Heat listing him as active, which means Larsson will start after coming off the bench on Monday.

Larsson left the first half of Monday’s game against the Clippers with a sprained right foot. The good news is the 24-year-old shooting guard won’t miss more time due to injury. Larsson could even see additional minutes with Norman Powell (ankle) out Wednesday.

Banchero will miss a seventh straight game, which means Tristan da Silva should continue to start. The latter is worth streaming in deeper leagues, but Desmond Bane and Anthony Black have been the biggest beneficiaries of Banchero’s absence from a fantasy standpoint.

Adebayo did a little bit of everything in this game. He matched his season high for rebounds and set a new career high for three-pointers in the blowout win over the Clippers. This was his highest scoring output since October, but he has been a consistent source of offense for Miami. Adebayo has been a big reason for Miami’s success this season, and he’ll look to keep that going in Dallas on Wednesday.

Things couldn’t have gone much better for Mitchell. He had a pair of turnovers, but he didn’t miss a shot, and he recorded his third double-double of the season. This was also his fifth game with at least 10 assists, including his second straight. Having Tyler Herro back hasn’t taken away from Mitchell. The Heat play faster than anyone in the league, which allows everyone to thrive. Mitchell has been inconsistent, but he remains a player worth rostering in deeper leagues.

Rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Carter has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Of course, it would be good to get more consistent defensive production out of the Magic center, but the top-100 may be his ceiling at this stage in his career. That isn’t elite, but it isn’t a bad spot to be in, either. The 17 points he scored on Monday were the most in a game for Carter since November 18, when he hit that number in a win over the Warriors.

Playing against his former team, Powell was able to have a big night to help the Heat get back on track after losing to the Pistons on Saturday. Powell has shined in his first year with Miami, and the return of Tyler Herro hasn’t slowed him down. He’ll look to stay hot in Dallas on Wednesday in what will be the second game of a four-game week.

On a night when starting point guard Jalen Suggs (10/4/4/5/1 with two three-pointers) shot 3-of-13 from the field, Black picked up the slack for the Magic. This was his fourth game with at least 20 points, with Monday’s total only being exceeded by the 31 he scored in Orlando’s November 25 blowout of the 76ers. Over the past two weeks, Black has provided top-100 in nine-cat formats. Given how well he’s played, Black should remain rostered in 14-team leagues.

Having turned in another efficient stat line, Wagner has scored at least 20 points in three straight and five of his last six games. The Magic have gone 7-2 since losing Paolo Banchero to a strained groin, and Wagner’s consistency is one reason for the excellent record. He’s provided top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the last nine games. While that doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (36), it is still a good value for those who have Wagner rostered.

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. He has been a top-25 player with Banchero out, which has been great for fantasy managers who have him on their rosters.

Larsson suffered a sprained right foot during the first half of Monday’s game. While the Heat have the depth needed to account for his absence if the second-year wing misses time, this is an injury that could keep Larsson out for multiple games. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio may be the ones who absorb the minutes that would have gone to Larsson.

Adebayo has recorded double-doubles in two straight and three of his last four games. With Tyler Herro now in the mix, increased rebounding may be what keeps Bam’s fantasy value where managers hoped it would be before the season began. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (32), and it could be difficult for Adebayo to reach those heights. He’ll look to prove otherwise, starting with Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Herro shot the ball well from beyond the arc, making six of his 11 attempts. However, what could have been an even bigger night was short-circuited by a 0-of-6 effort from inside the arc. Herro shot better than 69 percent from two in his first two appearances of the season, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned. The Heat open a four-game Week 7 on Monday against the Clippers.

Like Andrew Wiggins, Powell bounced back on Saturday after a subpar performance in Wednesday’s win over the Bucks. However, to be fair to Norman, that was his first game back from a strained groin that kept him out of the previous contest. He looked healthy against the Pistons, and he’s scored at least 25 points in nine games this season. So far, the inclusion of Tyler Herro has not been an issue for Powell, which is good news for fantasy managers.

After shooting 4-of-11 from the field in his first game back from a hip injury, Wiggins looked much sharper on Saturday. Shooting nearly 67 percent from the field, he recorded his first 30-point game of the season, and there was also value to be had in the rebound, assist and steals categories. With Tyler Herro and Norman Powell in the fold, Wiggins’ rest-of-season fantasy value may take a hit. However, he’s still providing top-100 value, so managers in 12-team leagues should look to sell high if possible. The Heat play four games in Week 7, starting with the Clippers on Monday.

Jaquez will be unavailable after initially being listed as questionable, which will open up plenty of minutes off the bench. Simone Fontecchio and Nikola Jovic should take on extra minutes with Jaquez unavailable, though that likely won’t result in either playing enough to be worth streaming.

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. Suggs has also been excellent for category league managers, but his availability is what keeps Black on the radar in some 12-team leagues.

Wagner has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four and 15 of his 20 appearances this season. With Paolo Banchero (groin) out, the Magic have looked to Wagner more often, and on most nights, he has been up to the task. He finished Friday’s victory just a three-pointer and a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, but managers will benefit from the points, rebounds and steals. The Magic play four games during Week 7, beginning with the Bulls on Monday.

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.
