Magic

Suggs will miss a second straight game with back spasms. Tristan da Silva filled the void in the starting lineup and logged 38 minutes. The second-year wing gets another start on Sunday, with Anthony Black serving as the point guard.

Back spasms sidelined Suggs for Saturday’s double-overtime loss to the Suns, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Tristan da Silva. While da Silva shot just 2-of-10 from the field, he played 38 minutes, finishing with five points, nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one three-pointer. He would remain in the starting lineup if Suggs can’t play on Sunday.

Bane was extremely efficient, shooting 67 percent from the floor, including knocking down 5-of-9 from long range. The 27-year-old marquee offseason import is averaging an impressive 26.8 points over his last four games.

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.

Suggs was initially listed as questionable with back spasms, but has since been ruled out. With the 24-year-old point guard sidelined and Anthony Black already in the starting lineup, Tristan da Silva should move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming.

Suggs is dealing with back spasms, which is why he’s on the injury report. With Anthony Black already in the starting lineup, Tristan da Silva is a potential replacement if Suggs can’t play. Under those circumstances, da Silva would be worth streaming.

Bane put together a solid final line in Thursday’s win. He shot the ball well on minimal attempts, made the majority of his three-point attempts, and was active on the defensive end of the floor. Despite the scoreboard being fairly one-sided, he still was able to log 32 minutes of game action, which was crucial to his overall production. He’ll have a chance to log another good performance on Saturday against the Suns.

Black was one of several Magic players to have success on both ends of the floor on Thursday. He finished as the team’s second-leading scorer, led all Orlando players in steals, and concluded with at least 20 points for the third time over his last four appearances. The third-year guard has reached another level of production this season. Still just 22 years of age, there’s potential for Black to make significant leaps over time to become a highly valued player in fantasy leagues.

Banchero’s first game back from the All-Star break was a productive one. Offensively, he lit it up from beyond the arc and tallied his most made three-pointers in a single game this season. He was also a contributor as a facilitator, and him picking up a couple stocks was a nice cherry on top. Banchero will likely need to perform at this level to keep Orlando in a good spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Shams notes that “recent tests showed that he requires additional time and rehabilitation for soreness in his left high ankle sprain. The Magic will evaluate Wagner’s progress in three weeks.” With the NBA and fantasy basketball seasons drawing to a close, a three-week timeline for re-evaluation puts serious doubt on Wagner’s availability after he is cleared and begins ramping back up. This is a massive blow for Orlando and Wagner’s fantasy managers. Anthony Black should continue to soak up minutes, and he should be rostered everywhere. Black has made the most of his new opportunities and is enjoying a breakout campaign.
