Suggs sat out Sunday’s overtime loss to the Rockets with a sore right groin, resulting in Anthony Black moving into the starting lineup. Black will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling. However, with Orlando having another back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday, Black should have another opportunity to start this week.

Sunday’s loss to the Rockets was the first that Suggs missed for a reason other than knee injury management, with a sore right groin being the reason for his absence. Anthony Black moved into the starting lineup and is worth streaming when given the opportunity to take on that role. Tyus Jones only played 15 minutes off the bench; there’s no need to stream him.

Clingan has not been a consistent double-figure scorer, so the double-doubles have been few and far between. He recorded his second of the season on Sunday, finishing a steal shy of a complete stat line. This was also the second game in which Clingan made multiple three-pointers and the first since Portland’s opener. In time, that could become a weapon for the 7-foot-2 center, but his strengths right now are rebounds and blocked shots.

With Jrue Holiday out due to injury, Grant made his first start of the season on Sunday. Unfortunately, while the points and three-pointers were good, the veteran forward did not offer much in the other categories. Grant did not record any defensive stats and was only responsible for two assists. That’s been the story of his time in Portland, and why Grant still isn’t a top-100 player despite increasing his scoring average by nearly 4 points per game from last season.

Avdija finished Sunday’s overtime defeat with everything but a steal, once again providing fantasy managers with excellent value. Jrue Holiday not playing due to injury meant the ball was in Deni’s hands more as a playmaker, which may have factored into his committing four turnovers. However, he was also responsible for a team-high seven assists. For the season, Avdija is providing top-25 value in eight-cat formats, well above his Yahoo! ADP of 51.

After getting off to a terribly slow start to the season, Sharpe has upped the production recently. He’s scored 31 points or more in three of his last four appearances, with Sunday’s being the best of the bunch. Sharpe didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but he has still provided seventh-round value in nine-cat formats over the past week. The Trail Blazers play four games during Week 5, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.

The Magic were without Jalen Suggs (groin) for Sunday’s game, leading to Black making his third start of the season. The third-year guard finished two points shy of his previous high and recorded a complete stat line. Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, Black is only worth a look on nights when he’s starting for Suggs. Orlando ends Week 5 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, so Black may have added value on those final days.

Bane’s game-winning three-pointer against Portland on November 10 may have provided the spark he needed after starting the season slowly. He’s scored 19 points or more in four straight, and 22 or more in three of those outings. Bane finished Sunday’s overtime loss with a complete stat line, and he’s attempted 38 shots in the two games Orlando has played without Paolo Banchero (groin). The “buy low” period for Bane has likely come to an end. The Magic play four games during Week 5, starting with the Warriors on Tuesday.

Wagner has totaled 54 points in the two games the Magic have played since losing Paolo Banchero to a strained groin, shooting 15-of-38 from the field. While shooting efficiency has taken a hit, the raw numbers help compensate. Sunday’s game was the last of Orlando’s road trip, so more should be learned about Banchero’s injury and how long he’ll be out pretty soon. Until he returns, Wagner will be the unquestioned first option for Orlando on the offensive end of the floor.

The Trail Blazers are without Jrue Holiday for the first time this season, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. The void will be filled by Grant, who has flourished in a bench role this season.

As opposed to other instances in which he’s sat for knee injury management reasons, Jalen Suggs is out on Sunday with a sore right groin.

Added to the injury report Sunday afternoon, Holiday is now out for the Trail Blazers’ final game of Week 4. His absence should result in more minutes for rookie Caleb Love, but he is not guaranteed to start. What fantasy managers can bet on is Deni Avdija having the ball in his hands even more, as he is Portland’s best healthy decision-maker.

Suggs is out for Sunday’s game against the Rockets with what the Magic are calling a sore right groin. Anthony Black is in line for the start and is worth streaming. It’s unclear how long Suggs might be out for, but Black could be worth holding onto as the Magic have four games next week.

Sunday’s game is the last Orlando will play on its current road trip, so more should be learned about the severity of Banchero’s injury and how much more time he’ll miss early next week.

Though he wasn’t able to extend his streak of 30-point games to three, Sharpe still had a decent night as a scorer. On top of that, this was only the second time this season that he had at least one steal and one block. Sharpe had been figuring things out on offense entering this game, and he’ll look to get back on track on Sunday in Dallas.

It was a tale of two halves for Avdija, who entered the break with just four points. He was able to turn things around after that, but it didn’t have much of an impact on the final score. This wasn’t a great night for him, but Avdija has scored at least 20 points in all but one game this season. He’s enjoying a breakout season, and that continued in this game despite a new season-high for turnovers.

Camara didn’t provide his usual supply of steals, but he continues to be an effective threat from beyond the arc. He is averaging a career-best 2.2 three-pointers per game this season, which has helped make up for a drop in steals and field goal percentage. Camara will continue to be an elite defender, but the best part of his fantasy game right now is his deep-range shooting.

With Paolo Banchero (groin) sidelined, da Silva slid into the starting unit and took full advantage of the opportunity. He played 32 minutes and had his best offensive performance of the season, which included a clutch triple with less than two minutes left to get Orlando within a point. It’s unclear how long Banchero will be sidelined, but if he remains out, da Silva should be worth streaming. He’s currently available in 96 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Turnovers aside, Suggs had a productive night against Brooklyn, but what is most encouraging is the minutes. He logged 28 minutes and has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last three games. Considering he had been limited to roughly 20 minutes prior to that, he’s clearly getting closer to being at full strength. That doesn’t mean he’s going to play back-to-backs, but this is a positive development for Suggs.

Bane entered this game having scored exactly 22 points in three of his last four games, and while he wasn’t able to match that mark again, he was still able to have a solid night. What is even more encouraging is that he continues to play big minutes and get plenty of shots. His 18 shots matched his second-most attempts in a game this season, and his 40 minutes were a season-best. Especially if Paolo Banchero (groin) remains out, Bane will continue to play a larger role on offense, which should help him get back to producing how he did in Memphis.

Wagner was excellent last season when Paolo Banchero was unavailable, and that continued on Friday, with Banchero sidelined with a groin injury. Wagner turned in a strong line and came up big late; he knocked down back-to-back triples with less than two minutes left in the game to move the Magic from down one point to up five. Wagner has been solid all season, but if Banchero misses more time, Wagner will continue to produce like a fantasy star.

With Paolo Banchero (groin) sidelined, da Silva will slide into the starting unit in his place. da Silva has been a solid reserve this season, but his fantasy upside is limited. The absence of Banchero should open up plenty of shots for everyone in the starting unit.

In his own words after the game on Friday, Banchero said that he believed he avoided a serious injury, and the MRI results would back that up. While a groin strain is not great news, it’s far better than there being any sort of tear. The Magic can afford to hold Banchero out against the lowly Nets and then he will “be evaluated daily moving forward.” That means he could return on Sunday against the Rockets or, more likely, sometime next week. In the meantime, Franz Wagner will see a bigger role in the office, and Anthony Black should get more minutes off the bench.

Banchero said he hurt his groin when he leapt for a rebound and then tried to accelerate quickly. He felt soreness on a couple of trips up and down the court and decided to remove himself from the game before it got worse. “This (groin injury), I can still do movements. There just was a pain there. (Trainers) said if it was torn or anything, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. So, that’s encouraging.” The Magic have no timeline for Banchero’s injury as of yet, but they will have a better idea after the 23-year-old undergoes imaging.

While Avdija’s overall stat line was a bit lean, he’s been on a roll scoring-wise. He’s scored at least 26 points in each of his last five games, a run that includes three 30-point efforts. Avdija has been a top-10 player in nine-cat formats since the beginning of November, evidence that nights like Wednesday have not been the norm. Avdija will look to continue this run of elite scoring when Portland visits Houston on Friday.

While Sharpe has reached double figures in all 11 games he’s played this season, the efficiency has improved substantially since the calendar flipped to November. He’s scored 31 points or more in consecutive games, and over his last five games, the Trail Blazers guard is averaging 25.6 points on 55.2 percent shooting. Sharpe hasn’t provided much production outside of points and three-pointers, making the percentages that much more critical in category leagues.

Back on the bench after starting Monday’s win over Portland for the then-absent Jalen Suggs, Black stepped up with one of his best performances of the season Wednesday night. The 17 points are the most he’s scored in a game since October 30, when he dropped a season-high 20 on the Bulls. With Black being his usual annoying self on the defensive end, he helped limit the Knicks to 44.3 percent shooting. However, good showing aside, Black is a player most valuable to fantasy managers on nights when Suggs (14/2/3/1/1 with one three-pointer) is unavailable.

At this rate, Bane’s game-winning shot against Portland on Monday may be what fantasy managers look back on as the turning point in his season. Two nights removed from that much-needed event, Bane scored another 22 points on Wednesday while also dishing out eight assists. Over the past week, he has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats. While that doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (45), Bane is headed in the right direction.

With Paolo Banchero exiting Wednesday’s game during the second quarter with a strained groin, the Magic needed additional production from Wagner. He stepped up, recording a complete line to lead Orlando to arguably its most impressive win of the season. Wagner is providing fourth-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, closing in on his Yahoo! ADP (36). Orlando hosts Brooklyn on Friday in what could be another big game for Wagner, especially if Banchero can’t play.

Grant and Pelicans forward Yves Missi got tangled up near the baseline during the second quarter of Wednesday’s game. Things escalated and both players were eventually ejected for their roles. Grant, in his 12th NBA season, entered the matchup with the Pelicans averaging 19.7 points per game off the bench on 48.3/40.0/85.5 shooting splits, and has enjoyed a nice bounce-back season.

Banchero suffered a strained left groin during the first half, exiting with 6:40 remaining in the second quarter. Jonathan Isaac replaced the Magic forward in the lineup to begin the third quarter, and he may be thrust into a starting role if Banchero misses time. Depending on how many minutes he’s allowed to play, Isaac could be worth a look in deep leagues. Banchero finished with four points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot.

Avdija made a three-pointer with less than a minutes left in regulation to bring the Trail Blazers within two points. Portland led by two with 10 seconds left before a Paolo Banchero layup tied the game and they ultimately lost on a Desmond Bane three-pointer at the buzzer. Avdija has scored at least 26 points in four consecutive games. He’s been one of the best values relative to draft position so far this season. Avdija and the Trail Blazers have three more games this week, starting with a matchup with the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Wagner has now scored 20 points or more in eight of Orlando’s 10 games, but Sunday’s performance was far from vintage for him. Frequent trips to the foul line salvaged what was a poor night from the field, with Wagner shooting 5-of-17 two nights after going 9-of-18 in an NBA Cup victory over the Celtics. However, the rebounds, assists and steals were certainly valuable, and a reminder that Wagner doesn’t need a high-scoring to impact fantasy basketball. He heads into Week 4 providing top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

A double-digit scorer in three straight games, Suggs finished Sunday with his first 20-point outing of the season. And he was highly efficient, shooting 75 percent from the field. However, what was most notable about Suggs’ performance on Sunday was his playing a season-high 29 minutes. Before that, he had not surpassed 21 minutes for injury management reasons. Anthony Black (4/3/0/1) still played 20 minutes off the bench, but his fantasy value will decrease as Suggs’ minutes increase.

After the Celtics limited Banchero to 15 points on 4-of-10 shooting on Friday, the Magic forward was far more assertive in Sunday’s rematch. While the approach did not result in an Orlando victory, Banchero’s 10 free-throw attempts were a positive. He’s closing in on top-100 value in nine-cat formats, and he’s ranked within the top-75 in eight-cat. Banchero hasn’t always been the best player to use an early-round pick on in category leagues, but he can change that this season. Orlando plays four games during Week 4, starting with Portland on Monday.

Avdija did a little bit of everything in this back-and-forth shootout, recording his second straight double-double in the process. The 24-year-old forward has been a top-10 fantasy performer over the past week, per Basketball Monster, averaging nearly 31 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and one block over his last three games. It’s a small sample, but it underscores how impactful Avdija can be when he’s rolling — especially for a rebuilding Portland squad short on proven offensive options. The Trail Blazers will continue their five-game road trip on Monday night against the Magic before facing the Pelicans, Rockets and Mavericks to close out a four-game week.

Sharpe, who has been battling calf soreness since late October, came up just shy of notching a double-double in this one and could’ve had an even better scoring night had he not gone a ghastly 1-of-8 from downtown. The 22-year-old scorer is shooting just 38 percent from three-point range on a career-high seven attempts per-game this season. It’s only a nine-game sample, so we’re anticipating some regression here since he shot nearly 45 percent from long range last season.

With starter Jalen Suggs (14/3/5 with four three-pointers) limited to 21 minutes due to foul trouble, Black stepped up with arguably his best all-around performance of the season. A pest defensively, the third-year guard recorded four steals and a blocked shot, and he was also efficient on offense.
