Playing in his second game back from a lengthy layoff, Banchero saw his playing time rise from 20 to 24 minutes. He was an inefficient 4-of-11 from the field, and he’s 7-of-19 for 25 total points across his last two outings. Banchero still looks like he’s ramping up and shaking off the rust, so fantasy managers should be patient with him.

Black shot an inefficient 6-of-16 from the floor and 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. He also committed four turnovers, but fantasy managers playing in eight-cat leagues or those not worried about FG% were surely pleased with this performance. With Franz Wagner (leg) potentially set to miss time this week, Black could see an uptick in minutes. Jalen Suggs (leg) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and though he was able to return, he may be banged up, which could result in even more playing time for Black. The latter is rostered in only 27% of Yahoo! leagues and should be picked up for the week ahead.

Suggs injured his leg in the fourth quarter, but he returned to the bench before the end of the game. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status this week, especially after Franz Wagner was forced to leave this one in the first quarter. Anthony Black should be in line for increased run if Wagner is forced to miss time, but Black’s role would be even more prominent if Suggs was also sidelined.

Wagner went up for an alley-oop from Anthony Black and was fouled hard by Ariel Hukporti before landing awkwardly on his left leg. He will be re-evaluated when the Magic return to Orlando, so the severity of his injury is yet unknown. If he’s forced to miss time, Black, Tristan da Silva and Jett Howard are all candidates for increased run. Orlando’s next game will be an NBA Cup matchup with the Heat on Tuesday.

Suggs’ basket with 90 seconds left put the Magic up by five. Orlando wouldn’t score again, but was able to escape with a one-point victory. Suggs was instrumental in that effort as he had 22 points and otherwise filled the stat sheet. The 24-year-old point guard’s excellent play over the last two weeks continues.

Banchero played only 20 minutes in his first game in nearly a month. Expect to see the 23-year-old power forward’s minutes to continue to increase as he gets back in the swing of things. Tristan da Silva played 25 minutes on Friday, but is a candidate to lose minutes with Banchero inching closer to a full workload.

Wagner was in a slump with his three-point shot, making just six threes in his last eight games entering play Friday. The 24-year-old small forward got back on track against the Heat, knocking down four threes and leading the Magic to victory. Wagner had his first game with at least 30 points since his 37-point performance against the Knicks on November 22. The Magic still have one more game in Week 7, against the Knicks on Sunday.

Banchero haș been out since November 14, missing the Magic’s last 10 games. With the 23-year-old power forward back in the lineup, expect Tristan da Silva to return to a bench role. Banchero could be on a minutes restriction in his first game back.

Banchero has missed Orlando’s last ten games since straining his groin during a November 14 win over the Knicks. Tristan da Silva has filled in admirably in the Magic star’s absence, but he’ll be headed to the bench whenever Banchero is cleared to play. There may be a minutes restriction at play once Paolo is available, so da Silva will still have value in deep leagues.

After back-to-back 37-point outings, Bane cooled off on Wednesday. However, he still dished out six assists, and he has recorded at least five in seven of his last eight games. Over the past two weeks, Bane has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. While he has been more aggressive in looking for his shot, especially since Paolo Banchero’s groin injury, Bane has not neglected setting up others, which has boosted his fantasy value.

Wagner had a chance to send Wednesday’s game into overtime, but San Antonio’s Luke Kornet blocked his layup attempt as time expired. The Magic forward has scored at least 21 points in four straight games, and he’s averaging 23 per game for the season. Wagner continues to close in on top-50 value in eight-cat formats and has already crossed that threshold in nine-cat. The Magic play two more games in Week 7, starting with the Heat on Friday.

Suggs recorded his fourth 20-point game of the season on Wednesday, attempting a season-high 20 shots. He’s been a more active scorer recently, attempting 17, 13 and 20 shots in his last three appearances. And with Paolo Banchero still out, there’s room for Suggs to bring a bit more to the table on that end of the floor. Despite shooting 40.2 percent from the field, he has been a top-30 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Banchero will miss a seventh straight game, which means Tristan da Silva should continue to start. The latter is worth streaming in deeper leagues, but Desmond Bane and Anthony Black have been the biggest beneficiaries of Banchero’s absence from a fantasy standpoint.

Rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Carter has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Of course, it would be good to get more consistent defensive production out of the Magic center, but the top-100 may be his ceiling at this stage in his career. That isn’t elite, but it isn’t a bad spot to be in, either. The 17 points he scored on Monday were the most in a game for Carter since November 18, when he hit that number in a win over the Warriors.

On a night when starting point guard Jalen Suggs (10/4/4/5/1 with two three-pointers) shot 3-of-13 from the field, Black picked up the slack for the Magic. This was his fourth game with at least 20 points, with Monday’s total only being exceeded by the 31 he scored in Orlando’s November 25 blowout of the 76ers. Over the past two weeks, Black has provided top-100 in nine-cat formats. Given how well he’s played, Black should remain rostered in 14-team leagues.

Having turned in another efficient stat line, Wagner has scored at least 20 points in three straight and five of his last six games. The Magic have gone 7-2 since losing Paolo Banchero to a strained groin, and Wagner’s consistency is one reason for the excellent record. He’s provided top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the last nine games. While that doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (36), it is still a good value for those who have Wagner rostered.

After scoring a season-high 37 points in Friday’s win over the Pistons, Bane matched that total on Monday. He was a bit too deferential to begin his first season with the Magic, but that hasn’t been the case recently, especially after Orlando lost Paolo Banchero to a strained groin. Since the November 12 win over the Knicks, Bane has averaged 24.1 points per game on 47.1 percent shooting from the field and 96.4 percent from the foul line. He has been a top-25 player with Banchero out, which has been great for fantasy managers who have him on their rosters.

After Jalen Suggs (14/4/1/4/1 with two three-pointers) made two free throws with just over six seconds remaining to push the Magic lead out to three, Black made the play that clinched a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. His rejection of a Duncan Robinson three-point attempt sealed the victory, and the third-year guard continues to make strides. Black didn’t shoot the ball well from the field, but fantasy managers still received solid value due to the overall line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Suggs has also been excellent for category league managers, but his availability is what keeps Black on the radar in some 12-team leagues.

Wagner has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four and 15 of his 20 appearances this season. With Paolo Banchero (groin) out, the Magic have looked to Wagner more often, and on most nights, he has been up to the task. He finished Friday’s victory just a three-pointer and a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, but managers will benefit from the points, rebounds and steals. The Magic play four games during Week 7, beginning with the Bulls on Monday.

Interestingly, while Bane scored a season-high 37 points, he did not make a single three-pointer. The Magic guard missed all five of his attempts, but he shot 65 percent from inside the arc and was a frequent visitor to the foul line. All that was missing from Bane’s stat line was a three-pointer, and the overall production compensated for that. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-25 player in nine-cat formats, rebounding from a slow start to the season. Orlando, which advanced to the NBA Cup quarterfinals with Friday’s victory, won’t play again this week. But the Magic have four games during Week 7.

Due to back spasms, Isaac was a late scratch for Tuesday’s win over the 76ers. His return gives Orlando another option to call upon in the frontcourt, but he’s unlikely to provide the production needed to affect fantasy basketball.

After a slow start to the season, Bane continues to make his way up the rankings. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and the season-long value is approaching top-100 status. Bane has recorded at least five assists in five straight games, and the improved production in that category is one reason why his overall fantasy value has improved.

Wagner didn’t have to extend himself too far on Tuesday, as the Magic were able to sit their key players for most of the second half. Over the past two weeks, he has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats, with the production being slightly lower than Wagner’s season-long value. While Franz’s season-long production hasn’t aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (36), he isn’t far off. Next up for Orlando is a matchup with the Pistons on Friday, with the winner advancing to the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

Orlando grabbed control of Tuesday’s game with a 51-point second quarter, and Black was in the middle of it all. He scored 27 points in the first half, establishing a career-high for points in a half. He would finish with his first career 30-point game and sat out most of the second half due to Orlando pushing its lead out to 46 points. Jalen Suggs, who was ejected late in the second quarter, should be available for Friday’s crucial NBA Cup matchup with the Pistons, so Black will come off the bench for that one.

With the Magic leading by an 82-58 margin, things got heated between the two teams. Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond and Orlando’s Wendell Carter Jr. squared up on each other, but they were separated before Suggs decided to get involved. For their roles in the altercation, Carter, Drummond, Orlando’s Desmond Bane and Philadelphia’s Jabari Walker received technical fouls, while Suggs was ejected. He finishes with four points, five rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocked shots.

Carter is back after an ankle injury sidelined him for Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. Orlando Robinson, an emergency starter on Sunday as the Magic were also without Goga Bitadze, may fall out of the rotation entirely since the team’s top two centers are available. The other change is Suggs, whose return means Anthony Black will come off the bench. Da Silva continues to start in place of the injured Paolo Banchero and should be rostered in deep leagues.

Bitadze is back after a one-game absence, but so is starter Wendell Carter Jr. Therefore, there isn’t much to gain from rostering Bitadze in most fantasy leagues, even with only three games on the schedule.

Absent from the initial injury report, Isaac is out with back spasms. His absence leaves Orlando down an option in the frontcourt, but it does not affect fantasy basketball. Goga Bitadze is available and can absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Isaac.

Originally off the injury report, Bitadze has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday against the 76ers. The 26-year-old center’s status is truly up in the air at this point. As the backup center, his absence wouldn’t significantly impact fantasy basketball.

Suggs did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, as it was Orlando’s second game in as many nights. Suggs’ return means Anthony Black will resume his customary backup point guard duties, which lowers his fantasy ceiling considerably.
