Suggs has been a fantasy stud when healthy all season, but he has added a new element to his game recently. This was his fourth straight game with at least eight assists, and he set a new career high for dimes in this one. Of course, he still contribute value across the board, just as he has all season. Utilizing Suggs as a playmaker just makes Orlando even more dangerous entering the postseason. He’s currently averaging career highs in assists and steals, and he’ll continue to stuff the stat sheet as the regular season comes to a close.

Bane has been on fire during Orlando’s three-game win streak, averaging 26.3 points, 2.0 steals, 1.3 blocks and 3.3 triples per game. His first season in Orlando go off to a shaky start, but he has been a fantasy stud during the second half of the season, which has helped the Magic stay afloat despite numerous injuries. With three games left until the postseason, Bane’s continued hot shooting will be pivotal to Orlando’s chances of avoiding the play-in tournament.

This type of performance from Banchero was great to see. He was incredibly efficient, which led to Orlando’s third straight win. He had a double-double on Sunday, but before that, he had a four-game stretch where he averaged just 12.3 points. This is the type of player they’ll need him to be if they want to make any noise in the postseason. Banchero has improved as a free throw shooter this season, which was on full display in this game. He still has holes in his fantasy game, but he’s certainly capable of filling up the box score.

In his first game since March 7, Black was limited to just 15 minutes off the bench. He had no problem being aggressive on offense with 11 shot attempts and seven free throw attempts during his time on the floor. Black would have been a candidate to win the Most Improved Player award if he hadn’t missed so many games over the past month. Still, he’ll be a pivotal piece for Orlando entering the postseason now that they’re the healthiest they’ve been since the beginning of the season.

While this decision doesn’t change much for McClung beyond the fact that he doesn’t have to pay a fine, it has far more significant implications for Brooks.

Brooks picked up his 18th technical foul in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win over the Bulls. If it’s not rescinded by the NBA, the 30-year-old shooting guard will be suspended for Tuesday’s game against the Rockets. Royce O’Neale would likely move into the starting lineup if Brooks is suspended.

After scoring 30 points in a March 26 win over the Kings, Banchero averaged 12.3 points on 34.0 percent shooting in the next four games.

Wagner scored the ball well in his 17 minutes of game action. He was aggressive, getting up 12 shots in that time, and was productive on the glass during his minutes. Arguably, the only thing that truly didn’t go his way on Friday was the three-point shooting, which hasn’t been a strength to this point in his career. Nonetheless, the fifth-year forward has shown encouraging signs as he continues to knock off the rust before the regular season ends. Given his low workload in his return from injury, it’s hard to know what kind of production to expect from him during the fantasy playoffs.

Bane was effective on both ends of the floor on Friday, as his impact helped the Magic get back into the win column. Bane’s 27 points only trailed Wendell Carter Jr.'s 27 points for the most on the team. His three-point shooting was a factor, as was his ability to convert at the line. Additionally, the sixth-year guard tied a team high in rebounds, assists, and steals. Bane did it all for the Magic, and they’re going to need more of the same from him in an attempt to move up in the standings and out of the Play-In Tournament.

Carter’s 28 points led all Magic players on Friday, as Desmond Bane’s 27 points were the only other players’ in the vicinity. In 36 minutes, the veteran center was accurate outside the arc and really utilized the charity stripe to his advantage. Carter didn’t put up big numbers in any other statistical category. However, his high production as a scorer was enough to provide positive value from a fantasy standpoint.

Goodwin played 12 minutes in Thursday’s defeat, with his night coming to an end late in the third quarter. The Suns guard had his right arm landed on by Hornets center Ryan Kalkbrenner, but that was not the issue that forced his exit. Following the game, Suns head coach Jordan Ott said Goodwin injured his left calf, the same one that sidelined him for seven games in late February/early March. A potential absence would not affect fantasy basketball, but it would leave the Suns shorthanded on the wings.

Available for the first time in a month, Williams made his return to action in the city where he began his NBA career.

Oso Ighodaro remained in the starting lineup, tallying six points, nine rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

While the rebounds and assists were solid, Banchero’s overall performance on Wednesday was disappointing.

Carter’s 14 points were the most among Magic starters, with Jamal Cain (17 points, one rebound and two three-pointers) doing his damage off the bench. Carter has reached double figures in scoring in 11 of his last 12 appearances, and he’s been more consistent as a rebounder as well. As a result, the Magic center has been a top-100 player over the past three weeks. With Orlando playing two more games in Week 23, Carter would be worth a look in some 12-team leagues if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

The rust was most evident in his perimeter shot, with Wagner missing all six of his three-point attempts. Tristan da Silva, a fixture in the starting lineup while Wagner was out, played 23 minutes off the bench and finished with nine points (2-of-5 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, six assists and one steal. Orlando has games on Friday and Sunday, with the second being the first of two in as many nights. We’ll see if Wagner gets one or two more games during championship week in Yahoo! default leagues.

The athletic scoring guard likely could have seen even greater numbers if not for the Suns taking a sizable lead in the fourth quarter, which would leave him on the bench for the entire final frame.

Gillespie struggled with his shooting again on Monday. He’s shooting 8-of-35 from the field over the last three games, while going 5-of-26 from beyond the arc over that same period. Yet, the former Villanova Wildcat made up for his shooting struggles by impressing as a passer against the Grizzlies; he reached double figures in assists for the first time in March to tally his third double-double of the season.

Ighodaro didn’t miss a shot from the field on Saturday; such is life when you’re able to play off of guards who can set you up around the basketball consistently. While his fantasy value has remained relatively low, the second-year center has done enough to merit rostering in deep leagues while the Suns await Mark Williams’ return from a foot injury. Ighodaro’s role for Week 23 should remain the same, which is good for those who have been rostering him.

On a night when starter Collin Gillespie (0/3/7/1/1) missed all eight of his three-point attempts, Allen’s shooting off the bench was critical. He made four of his 11 three-point attempts while also recording a complete stat line in one of his better all-around performances since the All-Star break. Allen has played 23 and 21 minutes in two games since returning from a knee injury, and his minutes are likely to increase moving forward. In that scenario, Gillespie’s opportunities may take a hit.
