Porter and Tyson will not be available for Friday’s game, and their absences will not impact fantasy basketball.

Da Silva was a late addition to the Magic starting lineup, as Goga Bitadze was scratched due to a sprained ankle. While the rookie wasn’t a liability on the court, he didn’t provide much value to fantasy managers. There may be more starts in Da Silva’s future if Bitadze misses more time, but he isn’t worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Harris did a bit of everything in this game, but it didn’t help the Pistons make this a close game. However, he was able to respond well after an atrocious performance in their last game. He was held to a season-low four points in 23 minutes on Saturday, and this was a much better outing for him. Harris hasn’t been the stellar option that he was expected to be in Detroit, and his numbers have suffered. He has barely been a top-100 player in 9-cat leagues, which is nowhere near his Yahoo ADP of 64.7.

Prince was dealing with a quad injury entering this game, but it didn’t slow him down at all. He was able to score in double figures for the third straight game and had one of his best performances of the year. Prince has been a consistent starter all year for the Bucks, and he ranks inside the top-150 in 9-cat leagues over the course of the year. However, that is misleading, since he only contributes 3-pointers and has been efficient this year. He played well in this one, but he isn’t a must-roster player.
