Joseph provided value to Orlando’s starting lineup, logging 27 minutes and tallying his highest points and assists totals of the series. On the heels of the veteran guard’s most productive game of the postseason, it’s reasonable to expect Joseph will play a similar role for his team on Tuesday. The Magic will look to stay alive as they face the Celtics in Boston for Game 5.

Joseph will not play in Sunday’s regular season finale, as the Magic will host the Hawks in a play-in tournament matchup on Tuesday. Anthony Black will replace the veteran guard in the starting lineup, and he’s worth the risk in active deep leagues. He may not be a consistent shooter, but Black can rack up some steals against a Hawks lineup that will lack its top three players (Trae Young, Onyeka Okongwu and Dyson Daniels).

Joseph was the lone typical starter that suited up for Orlando on Friday, though he only played six minutes. If he plays in the regular season finale, don’t expect him to play a significant role. Anthony Black and Cole Anthony should fill out most of the point guard minutes.

Despite Cole Anthony (toe) returning to the lineup, Joseph was able to hold on to his spot as Orlando’s starting point guard. It could be just because it was Anthony’s first game back, but it could certainly be because this is a permanent change. We may have to wait longer to figure that out since Anthony exited early from this game because of the toe injury. Joseph wasn’t productive in this game, but reserve guard Anthony Black was able to turn in a solid 17/3/2/2 line with three three-pointers off the bench.

With Cole Anthony (toe) sidelined, Joseph started his second straight game on Friday. The field goal percentage and assists were solid, but there wasn’t enough production for fantasy managers to benefit. Even with Orlando’s lack of depth at the point guard position, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Joseph if Anthony remains out.

The Magic are without Cole Anthony and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Joseph and da Silva will fill the voids but offer limited streaming upside with Wagner and Banchero on the court.

Cole Anthony (toe) was scratched about an hour before tipoff despite not being on the injury report. That opened the door for Joseph to return to the starting lineup. Joseph only had eight points and five minutes in his previous start, but he was a better scoring option for Orlando in this game. This was the first night of a back-to-back for the Magic, and if Anthony remains out in Minnesota on Friday, Joseph could end up starting again. However, his fantasy upside is limited.

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. None of these three guards have been viable replacements for Jalen Suggs, who underwent season-ending surgery. Managers will likely have to look outside of Orlando for the best replacement for Suggs.

With Cole Anthony (toe) sidelined, Joseph will slide into the starting lineup after playing 10 minutes on Sunday. Joseph hasn’t been a consistent part of Orlando’s rotation this season, but he will get a big opportunity on Tuesday. Anthony Black will likely fill out the backup point guard minutes.
