For the first time since the end of February, Bane has surpassed 20 points in consecutive games. One night removed from dropping 35 in a win over the Cavaliers, he had another good night shooting-wise, knocking down 50 percent of his attempts. All that Bane’s line lacked was a blocked shot, and he has been a top-10 player in fantasy basketball since the All-Star break. Orlando ends Week 20 with a game against the Heat on Saturday.

The Magic received double-doubles from two of their starting frontcourt players, Carter and Paolo Banchero (18/11/5). The former produced a complete stat line against the Wizards, with the four defensive contributions being the most in a game for Carter since a January 18 loss to the Grizzlies. Carter’s season-long fantasy value has been solid, but he remains a challenging player to trust fully in 12-team leagues.

Suggs finished Thursday’s overtime victory with a season-high point total, with this being his first game with 25 or more since mid-December.

One day removed from scoring a season-high 23 points in a win over the Cavaliers, da Silva was even more productive on Thursday. The second-year forward recorded a career-high point total as part of a loaded stat line. Rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, da Silva is worth a look in some 12-team formats while the Magic await the returns of Franz Wagner and Anthony Black.

Isaac played one minute before exiting Thursday’s game with what has been diagnosed as a sprained left knee. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for Noah Penda and Goga Bitadze. According to the Magic, how much time Isaac misses will depend on his knee’s response to treatment.

With Anthony Black joining Franz Wagner on the sidelines due to injury, da Silva returned to the Magic starting lineup on Wednesday. And the second-year forward took advantage of his latest opportunity, putting up 23 points on excellent percentages. Add in the rebounds and assists, and da Silva showed why he’s a must-roster player until Black or Wagner is healthy enough to return.

March has been an excellent month for Banchero thus far. In six games, he’s scored 24 points or more in five. He’s averaged 26.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 57 percent from the field and nearly 79 percent from the foul line. Even with the lackluster defensive production, Banchero has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats since March 1, according to Basketball Monster.

Bane finished Wednesday’s victory with his 12th 30-point game of the season. He’s now second on the Magic’s list of 30-point games in a player’s debut season, trailing Tracy McGrady (26). Bane only attempted three three-pointers against the Cavaliers, doing a lot of his work in the paint and just outside of it. And he could be in for another big game on Thursday, as the Magic host the Wizards.

Richardson will be back after missing Sunday’s game, but that won’t alter Orlando’s rotation. He’ll be a depth piece, but he won’t play enough to make much of an impact in the box score.

Black sustained the back injury in Saturday’s win over Minnesota, and he’ll be out indefinitely as a result. Until Black is cleared to get back on the court, Tristan da Silva should continue to take on an expanded role. The latter is worth an add off of the waiver wire.

Bane did a little bit of everything in Sunday’s win over the Bucks. He had 18 points and nine assists as well as four steals on the defensive end. The 27-year-old shooting guard has provided top-20 overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Magic have three games upcoming in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old power forward had a dunk in transition three minutes into the second half that put the Magic up by 22. Banchero was superb in 29 minutes in the 39-point victory. He’s provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Magic have three games coming up in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Isaac will miss a third consecutive game with a sore left knee. Noah Penda has played more minutes recently, and that should continue on Sunday. However, he should only be rostered in dynasty leagues. Goga Bitadze’s playing time has been a bit more volatile due to Moritz Wagner’s play.

Isaac has missed Orlando’s last two games with a sore left knee, resulting in rookie Noah Penda picking up additional minutes off the bench. Neither player is in a position to affect redraft leagues, but Penda will be a player of interest for dynasty league reasons.

Suggs finished Saturday’s victory with a complete stat line, and he’s recorded at least four assists in each of his last four appearances. During this stretch, the Magic guard has totaled 24 assists and seven turnovers, an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio. Similar to Boston’s Derrick White, Suggs’ production across the stat line has helped compensate for a low field-goal percentage in terms of his fantasy value.

Interestingly, Bane’s 11th game with at least 30 points did not include a three-pointer. The Magic guard missed all five of his attempts, but he was a perfect 10-of-10 from the foul line. Add in the rebounds, assists and field-goal percentage, and Bane’s performance on Saturday was excellent overall. Orlando ends its Week 19 slate on Sunday against the Bucks.

Having returned to the Magic lineup after missing two games with a quad injury, Black logged 24 minutes against Dallas. The guard did struggle with his shot, missing all three of his three-point attempts and shooting 3-of-9 from two. However, Black provided some value in the assist and steal categories, so all wasn’t lost for fantasy managers who have him rostered.

While Anthony Black’s return from a quad injury pushed him to the bench on Thursday, that didn’t prevent da Silva from having one of his best offensive performances of the season. The second-year forward didn’t miss a shot, including a 4-of-4 night from beyond the arc. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good night for those who held onto da Silva in their fantasy leagues.

Banchero has now recorded four double-doubles since the All-Star break, and he was also responsible for solid numbers in the assist and steal categories on Thursday. Generally speaking, the Magic forward has been a better option in points leagues than category leagues. However, since the break, Banchero has provided top-50 value in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.
