Black had a fairly balanced performance in Monday’s rematch with the Cavaliers. In 37 minutes, he was impactful on the defensive end and totaled four stocks, while inefficient shooting from beyond the arc limited his scoring production. Still, the third-year guard out of Arkansas finished as one of three Orlando players to score in double figures, and he was one of the team’s best passers in the loss. Fantasy managers, however, should be craving more from Black, based on some of the heights he reached earlier this season.

Bane followed Saturday’s 20-point performance in a loss to Cleveland with similar production on Monday. The first-year Magic guard was productive from beyond the arc and, in his 38 minutes, finished as the Magic’s second-leading scorer for the game. Yet Bane went without an assist for the first time all season, and with his unspectacular assist total and pair of stocks, he didn’t provide fantasy managers with much production. He’ll have a chance to put up a better line on Wednesday against the Heat.

Banchero did what he could to try to get the Magic back on track. Yet, his highest-scoring game of January wasn’t enough to end the Magic’s losing streak, which is now at four games. Banchero’s season high in points on Monday came on a blend of three-pointers, shots inside the arc, and production from the free-throw line. On top of his scoring outburst, he reached double figures in rebounds to secure his 14th double-double of the season. Regardless of whether Orlando can get back on track or not, it’s clear that Banchero will continue to deliver strong production from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Monday’s game will be the third that Wagner has missed, with the description being changed from “left ankle soreness” to “high left ankle sprain injury management.” Before Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Wagner did some light, non-contact shooting during the pregame shootaround. As long as Wagner is out, Anthony Black will start, and he should be rostered in standard leagues.

It’s been a frustrating season for Banchero and the Magic as they’ve consistently struggled to generate enough offense to turn things around. The 23-year-old playmaker has scored at least 20 points in seven of 10 games since Janaury 1, but the Magic are just 4-6 overall during that span. He’s dropped from 25.9 points per-game last season to just 21.1 through 34 contests this season. The Magic have a rematch against the Cavaliers on Monday before facing the Heat, Raptors and Spurs to close out a four-game week.

Orlando’s marquee offseason addition, Bane has been a consistent scoring threat, averaging 18.9 points through 44 games in his Magic debut. The 27-year-old guard has struggled from three-point range this season and was just 2-of-6 from downtown in this one. Simply put, Bane and Banchero haven’t supplied enough from an offensive standpoint which makes it critical to get Franz Wagner (ankle) back as quickly as possible.

After missing Orlando’s last eight games, Suggs is available and will be in the starting lineup. He isn’t officially under a minutes restriction, but some precautions could be taken with the guard’s playing time. Tristan da Silva will head to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling.

After an eight-game absence, Suggs is available for the Magic. His return will likely push Tristan da Silva to the bench, but fantasy managers should plan for Suggs’ minutes to be restricted.

Suggs has missed Orlando’s last eight games, but he is expected to return to take on Cleveland. That will push Tristan da Silva back to the bench after a one-game stint as a starter. Jase Richardson should also lose out on minutes.

Wagner will miss a second straight game after playing just two games following a 16-game absence. Anthony Black will remain a starter despite Jalen Suggs (knee) being upgraded to probable. They’ll continue to manage this injury as he recovers, but it is slightly alarming that he will miss two games this quickly. Black has been productive as a fill-in.

Penda had a quiet two-game stretch after a short stint as a temporary starter, but he was able to showcase his upside once again in this game. He has been able to make a big impact on defense, and he has been a better shooter than anticipated. He was able to take on a larger role with Franz Wagner (ankle) sidelined, but when Wagner is available, Penda simply won’t play enough to be worth rostering. However, he holds plenty of upside in dynasty formats.

After an inefficient shooting outing on Sunday, Banchero was able to have a better night against Charlotte. Unfortunately, that didn’t change the result, and Orlando ended up on the wrong end of another lopsided game. Efficiency has never been a strong suit for Banchero, and that has been the case again this season. However, he is averaging career highs in rebounds and assists, which has made up for a drop in scoring. Next up is a home game against the Cavaliers on Saturday.

Wagner made his season debut less than two weeks ago, so this was his highest scoring performance since 2024. He was an excellent reserve scoring option for the Magic to start last year before tearing his ACL. This was a new season high for him in just 15 minutes. He’ll continue to be a reliable scoring option off the bench, but with Wendell Carter Jr. and Goga Bitadze both healthy, he won’t play enough minutes to provide value in standard leagues.

Bitadze figures to attract the most interest. As Siegel notes, he “is an intriguing center who could fetch multiple second-round picks in a trade and free up salary for [the Magic for] the 2026-27 season in the process.” A package of Bitadze and Jones could be of interest to a team like the Knicks, who are in the market for a true center and a backup point guard, both of whom would need to be strong defenders.

This is mildly concerning, considering how much time Wagner missed with an ankle injury over the holidays. The team “is going to monitor how he responds to treatment moving forward,” which will determine how long Wagner will be sidelined. Tristan Da Silva should move back into the starting lineup in the meantime.

Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Suggs “came up OK after yesterday’s work,” so it doesn’t sound like the 24-year-old will be out too much longer. Orlando will see how he feels tomorrow and go from there. His next chance to return will be Saturday at home against the Cavaliers.

Howard will be available after sitting out on Sunday against the Grizzlies, but his status does not impact fantasy basketball due to his limited role within Orlando’s rotation.

Suggs has a chance to return following a seventh straight absence, and he may see a minutes restriction if he’s cleared to take the court. Suggs’ return will negatively impact the fantasy impact of Tyus Jones and Tristan da Silva, but Anthony Black has played too well to see a major dropoff.

Blak has been surging lately, and Sunday’s final tally - albeit in a loss - was another strong performance. The young guard didn’t offer another highlight-reel dunk over four defenders, but he led his team in the scoring department and posted solid peripheral numbers. If he’s somehow still available on the waiver wire, make sure to get him on your roster.

Banchero went 9-of-16 for 26 points in Thursday’s win, but he couldn’t match that efficiency on Sunday. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Banchero was solid as a rebounder and facilitator, which he has been throughout the 2025-26 campaign. He’ll look to get back on track in the scoring department when the Magic host the Hornets on Thursday.

Howard will not be available for the final game of Orlando’s two-game European trip. He hasn’t been in the rotation recently, picking up a DNP-CD in Thursday’s win over the Grizzlies in Berlin. Howard’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

Suggs will miss a seventh straight game, which means the Anthony Black train will continue to roll on. Black should remain in the starting lineup for at least one more game, and he’ll look to extend his streak of 20-point games to four.

After missing 16 games with a high ankle sprain, Wagner was back on the court Thursday afternoon in his hometown of Berlin. While the stat line did not include any steals or blocks, the rebounds and three-pointers were solid. Also encouraging for fantasy managers was his playing 27 minutes in his first game back. Wagner’s return meant fewer minutes for Noah Penda (nine points, five rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in 18 minutes), who is more valuable to dynasty leagues than redrafts.

While Franz Wagner was back in the lineup after a 16-game absence, his return did not negatively affect Black’s opportunities. The third-year guard was excellent during the second half, helping Orlando bounce back from a slow start. Black shot 4-of-6 from the field in the third quarter, and in the fourth, provided one of the dunks of the season. His fantasy value should be fine until Jalen Suggs returns from injury, and it’s going to take a lot to decrease Black’s opportunities, given how well he’s played.

Banchero has recorded three double-doubles in his last four games, and the four steals accumulated were a nice touch for fantasy managers who have him rostered. Over the past two weeks, he has offered second-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Banchero and the Magic will look to complete their European trip with a win over the Grizzlies on Sunday in London.

Wagner has missed 16 straight games, but the German forward will be back in action for this international matchup. Tristan da Silva should see a reduction in playing time and usage, but Wagner may be on a minutes restriction after so much time on the sideline. Anthony Black is worth holding, as he has played well enough to remain in the rotation regardless of Wagner’s health.

After more than a year on the sidelines recovering from a torn ACL, Wagner made his first appearance of the season on Sunday. Due to the time missed, his minutes were limited, but the reserve forward/center was productive in ten minutes on the floor. Since the Magic were without Wendell Carter Jr., Goga Bitadze (14/13/1/3/2) played 32 minutes as the starting center. Once Carter returns and Wagner’s minutes aren’t restricted, Bitadze’s opportunities will take a hit.
