Sportsnet’s Michael Grange also reported that Walter has a Grade 2 strain in his quad/hip area that could keep him out for a month. The regular season will end on April 13, which means that there is a real chance that Walter’s rookie year is over. Jared Rhoden started in place of Walter on Monday with Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji still sidelined as well. Rhoden had 11 points in 26 minutes, but it was AJ Lawson that really stepped up, as he had 32 points, 12 rebounds and seven three-pointers off the bench. Both Lawson and Rhoden should hold streaming value for at least a couple of weeks, barring an early return from Walter.

Banchero extended his streak of 20-point games to seven, but it wasn’t enough to help Orlando get the win. They’ve now lost six of their last seven games. However, Banchero supplied a ton of offense for the Magic in this game as he scored 25 of their 84 points. It was a low-scoring game for both teams, but he was still able to provide his usual dose of buckets. This road trip will continue for Orlando in New Orleans on Thursday.

KCP didn’t even attempt a shot in this game. The lone rebound kept this from being a true Tony Snell performance, but it was still a rather disappointing night for fantasy managers. Caldwell-Pope hasn’t played a significant offensive role this season, and this was an incredibly low-scoring game for Orlando. However, this was the first time that he didn’t get a shot attempt. Managers shouldn’t expect this quiet of a performance from KCP often.

Lawson, who is still on a two-way contract, has played at least 26 minutes in four straight games. His 32 points are by far his highest mark this season. Of Lawson’s nine makes, seven of them came from behind the three-point line. While the scoring is likely an outlier, the increase in playing time appears that it could stick and that could be his path to fantasy relevancy.

Barnes has now had a double-double in three of the last four games. His assist numbers have taken a hit over the last few weeks as Barnes hasn’t had at least seven assists in a game since February 12.

Barrett sat out last Friday with rest as the Raptors are looking ahead to this year’s draft. The 24-year-old small forward was back on the floor Monday and finished just two assists shy of a triple-double. Barrett wasn’t efficient on offense, but he still created well for his teammates. He played just 27 minutes against the Wizards. Going forward, the Raptors could elect to pull Barrett late in games when he’s available, which is a concerning development for fantasy managers.

Agbaji injured his ankle on February 28, and it’s unknown when he’ll be cleared to play in games again. While Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said the third-year forward is progressing in his recovery, he has not been cleared for contact. Also, the Raptors will ramp up Agbaji’s activity slowly, so there’s a chance he won’t be healthy in time to impact the end of the fantasy basketball season.

Banchero led Orlando in scoring and helped carry the team to an upset win on the road. The Magic got strong contributions from Banchero, Franz Wagner (18/7/5) and Cole Anthony (22/4/9) to negate a 63-point combined effort from Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Both teams shot better than 50% from the floor, but Orlando made just a couple more plays. Banchero and Co. will look to add another win when they face the Rockets on Monday.

Shead had a solid performance in this one, but he’ll be most remembered for his play in the closing seconds. With just over two seconds left, Shead nearly cost his team the ball by shuffling his feet as the inbounder. He went from hero to goat almost instantly by hitting a would-be game-winning shot at the buzzer, but a review from the refs showed that his fingertips were still on the ball while the clock read triple zeroes. There will be no love lost when these two teams meet again on Monday.

Quickley was outstanding on Friday, with the 34 points being a season-high and the most he’s scored as a Raptor. While this has been a disappointing season for the Raptors guard, who’s had multiple extended absences due to injury, he’s been more productive recently. Over the past two weeks, Quickley has been a seventh-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, he will not be able to build on this performance Saturday night. Quickley will not play against the Wizards.

Outside of three-pointers, Barnes filled the stat sheet Friday night. Over the past two weeks, the Raptors star has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With the Raptors prioritizing player development, the concern for fantasy managers is there may come a point when the team decides to give Barnes some time off. Hopefully, that won’t happen until the fantasy playoffs run their course. At a minimum, back-to-backs (the Raptors host the Wizards on Saturday) may be an issue in the short term.

Robinson started Friday’s game for Jakob Poeltl, who was rested for the first game of Toronto’s home back-to-back. While the rebounds, steals and blocks were helpful to fantasy managers, Robinson didn’t offer much else, shooting 3-of-10 from the field. Even if Poeltl plays against the Wizards on Saturday, Robinson should remain in the rotation. However, his ceiling is considerably lower when the Raptors’ starting center is available.

After coming off the bench in his first seven appearances as a Raptor, Lawson made his first start on Friday with RJ Barrett sidelined. Unfortunately, it did not go well for the two-way contract player. Lawson shot 1-of-9 from beyond the arc and offered minimal value in the other fantasy-relevant categories. With Friday’s game being the first of a back-to-back, he’ll likely have an opportunity to play rotation minutes in Saturday’s matchup with the Wizards. But there’s no need to consider streaming Lawson.

WCJ will be remembered for his final touch of the game, but he should get credit for getting the Magic a final chance to tie or win the game. On Chicago’s last possession, he knocked the ball away from Coby White and dove on the floor to cause a tie-up. He won the ensuing jump ball, setting the Magic up for at least one more shot. Paolo Banchero’s go-ahead three was a miss. Carter Jr. corralled the rebound, but instead of tipping it in, he came down with it and then dunked it after time expired. It was a heartbreaking end to Orlando’s fifth-straight loss.

Wagner added two boards, six assists, two steals and a block. It was a poor night in the efficiency department for Wagner, and it didn’t help that Paolo Banchero went 5-of-15 from the field. The star dup combined for 38 points on 11-of-33 shooting and failed to convert on their eight combined three-point attempts. Fortunately, all of Orlando’s starters scored at least 17 points to keep this one competitive, but Orlando has now dropped five straight. Wagner and Banchero will need to play better than this to stop the current skid, especially with a five-game road trip coming up that includes games against the Bucks, Rockets, Wolves and Cavs.

With Cole Anthony sidelined, many were expecting Anthony Black to move into the starting lineup, but Joseph got his first starting nod since 2022. Joseph didn’t contribute much in his 26 minutes, and Anthony Black wasn’t able to do much in his 15 minutes, as he finished with five points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal.

Banchero turned a lot of his weaknesses into strengths on Tuesday. Poor shooting percentages, an abundance of turnovers and a lack of defensive production have all limited Banchero’s value in nine-cat leagues, but that wasn’t the case on Tuesday. He set a new season-high for steals, shot the ball incredibly well and only had three turnovers. Managers shouldn’t expect this type of production from Banchero often, but it was a nice bonus in this game, and he hit some big shots down the stretch that nearly gave the Magic the win. They have two more games this week, with a home matchup against Chicago on Thursday up next.

Though Wagner was able to extend his streak of 25-point games to three, he wasn’t able to do enough to end Orlando’s losing streak, which now sits at four games. Unfortunately, Wagner wasn’t able to provide much else outside of points on Tuesday, which has been an issue for him since he returned from his extended absence. Sharing the court with Paolo Banchero certainly limits Wagner’s usage, and he hasn’t been able to contribute as many rebounds, assists and steals as he did earlier in the season. He was a fantasy superstar to start the year, but he has regressed back to being a mid-round player over the past month.

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.
