Isaac only played 19 minutes in his first start of the season, but that was enough time for him to record his first double-double since January. Isaac has averaged 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks while playing 19 minutes across Orlando’s last two games. Injuries have plagued his career, but he’s an elite defender when healthy. Isaac could play a pivotal role for the Magic during the postseason.

The only starter that will be the same as Friday is da Silva. KCP and WCJ sat on Friday but will surprisingly suit up in the inconsequential season finale. With a Play-In matchup with the Hawks coming in just a couple days, it’s unclear how much KCP and WCJ will play. Black will replace the injured Cory Joseph in the starting lineup, with Isaac getting his first start of the season. Gary Harris, Caleb Houstan and Goga Bitadze will come off the bench after starting on Friday, though Houstan and Bitadze should still play significant roles.

Isaac entered the season with an incentive worth $2.6 million if he could appear in 70 games. Given the Magic forward’s injury history, few expected him to meet the number. Isaac did so on Friday, with the 70 games being the most in a season since the 2018-19 campaign. He was productive against the Pacers, recording a complete stat line, including his first double-digit point total since February 8. The Magic, who have secured the seventh seed in the East, finish their regular season on Sunday against the Hawks.

Isaac was a late scratch against Chicago on Thursday, but he isn’t on the injury report against Milwaukee. He wasn’t on the injury report for most of the day before their game against the Bulls, and while that could happen again, the odds are low. Tristan da Silva may lose out on a few minutes with Isaac back.

Isaac is a late scratch after not initially appearing on Orlando’s injury report. Tristan da Silva should take on a few extra minutes with Isaac sidelined, though he hasn’t been able to provide much statistical production even when he has played big minutes.
