The Magic won’t have Jalen Suggs for Saturday’s game, as he is out with back spasms. Da Silva will fill the void, and he is worth streaming in deep leagues since the Magic are also without Franz Wagner.

da Silva will return after missing Friday’s game against the 76ers with a back injury. The 24-year-old forward figures to be in the starting lineup with Jalen Suggs (knee) still out. He’s still not a priority in most fantasy leagues.

After missing Friday’s game against the 76ers, da Silva could be back in the lineup against New Orleans. With Jalen Suggs (knee) still out, da Silva should start if he’s available. If he remains out, Noah Penda will likely get another start after finishing with five points, seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 30 minutes.

Absent from Orlando’s initial injury report, da Silva is out due to back spasms. With Jalen Suggs out, he started the last three games, so da Silva’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Tyus Jones and Jett Howard are potential replacements, with the former offering a slightly higher streaming ceiling.

While Tyus Jones has served as the starting point guard on past occasions when Orlando was without Jalen Suggs, that is not the case here. Black will be the primary playmaker, with da Silva entering the starting five. While the former should already be rostered in 12-team leagues, given his recent play, the latter is worth a look in deeper leagues, provided he remains in the starting lineup while Suggs and Franz Wagner are out.

After initially being listed as probable, da Silva has been cleared to return from a four-game absence. Rookies Noah Penda and Jase Richardson took on extra minutes with da Silva sidelined, but both will lose the little streaming value they held with da Silva back.

Da Silva is on track to return after missing Orlando’s last four games. His absence resulted in rookie Noah Penda picking up additional minutes off the bench. While he didn’t do enough to affect redraft leagues, Penda will continue to have value in dynasty formats. Jase Richardson’s playing time will also decrease with da Silva available.

da Silva’s continued absence means Jase Richardson will continue to see a bump in minutes off the bench. Richardson has been a decent source of reserve offense over Orlando’s last four games, but he hasn’t done enough to make him worth streaming.

Da Silva will miss a third straight game, which should once again ensure Jase Richardson of extended minutes off the bench. Richardson most recently played 23 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Jazz, but he is not worth the streaming risk in most leagues.

Da Silva has missed Orlando’s last two games, resulting in more playing time for rookie Jase Richardson. While he logged 23 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Jazz, Richardson has not reached the point where he should be streamed in standard leagues.

Da Silva will miss a second straight game as he recovers from a right shoulder contusion. His absence may once again lead to additional rotation minutes for Jase Richardson, who logged 19 minutes against Denver. Richardson isn’t worth the streaming risk, but he’s worth keeping an eye on.

Da Silva’s absence from Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets freed up minutes for Orlando’s other reserves, with Jase Richardson playing 19 minutes. While there could come a point when Richardson is worth a look, that time isn’t now. Even if da Silva remains out, leave Richardson on the waiver wire.

The Magic are severely shorthanded in the backcourt against the Nuggets on Thursday. Orlando is already down Jalen Suggs and Franz Wanger and now da Silva has also been ruled out. Jett Howard and Jase Richardson should see addition minutes in this one, though neither are anything more than a desperation streaming option in deeper formats.

With Jalen Suggs joining Franz Wagner on the sidelines, there’s a chance that da Silva moves into the Magic starting lineup. However, he’s questionable for Thursday night, so Orlando could be down another rotation player. Jett Howard and Jase Richardson could see their opportunities increase if da Silva sits, but neither player is a must-stream option.

Da Silva has hit double figures in all four games he’s started in place of the injured Paolo Banchero (groin). During this stretch, the second-year forward is ranked just outside the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Da Silva didn’t record any defensive stats on Thursday, but he should be rostered in a higher percentage of Yahoo! leagues. Orlando has games on Saturday and Sunday to end Week 5, and da Silva is rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo leagues.

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.

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.

There weren’t a ton of bright spots in this one for Orlando, but da Silva came off the bench to inject some much-needed life, knocking down four of five shots from downtown. The Magic continue to be one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the league, which gives da Silva a chance to carve out a larger role moving forward. He’s scored in double figures five times in eight games to open the season.

Da Silva has reached double figures in four of Orlando’s first six games, with Thursday’s output being his best. The second-year wing is in a challenging spot to provide consistent fantasy value, as he backs up Franz Wagner, but he can be helpful in certain matchups. Da Silva played well against the Hornets, and Saturday’s game against the Wizards could be another spot where he offers sneaky deep-league value.

Through the first two games of the year, da Silva has been a strong reserve scoring option for Orlando. He had 16 points and three triples in the season opener, and he was able to contribute some dimes and swipes in this game on top of the buckets that he was still able to provide. With a matchup against Chicago up next, da Silva will look to continue contributing in a reserve role.

After scoring seven points or less in each of Germany’s first three games at EuroBasket, da Silva got hot against an overmatched Great Britain squad on Monday. The Orlando Magic wing shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc and was perfect from two, leading the way offensively with Dennis Schröder (19/2/5/1 with two three-pointers) and Franz Wagner (18/1/10/1 with three three-pointers) also hitting double figures. Da Silva may get most of his scoring opportunities as a catch-and-shoot option in Orlando next season, so the three-point shooting is noteworthy, especially after he shot 33.5 percent from deep as a rookie.

Da Silva was once again among Orlando’s offensive leaders on Sunday, and he threw in some defensive stats for good measure. The lone negative was the turnover count, as the second-year forward was responsible for six on the night. Of course, the starring role the Magic are asking da Silva to take in Las Vegas is not in line with what he’ll be asked to do once the games truly count. That said, the increased responsibility may benefit his long-term development as the Magic look to contend in the East.

With Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero missing extended periods last season due to injury, da Silva took on a larger role than many anticipated before the 2024-25 season. He was solid as a rookie, eventually doing enough to merit being streamed while the Magic awaited the return of their star forwards. Da Silva got his summer off to a good start on Thursday, shooting over 50 percent from the field and providing solid value in rebounds and assists. While unlikely to be a must-draft player in standard leagues, da Silva should again be a fixture in the Magic rotation after averaging 22.0 minutes per game as a rookie.

Da Silva replaced Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the starting lineup on Friday, and the rookie provided limited production in his 22 minutes on the court. While he had his moments earlier this season, that was when the Magic were without Franz Wagner or Paolo Banchero (or both). With both on the floor, da Silva’s offensive opportunities were limited.
