Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Nuggets in Denver. Goga Bitadze (illness), Franz Wagner (ankle), and Markelle Fultz (knee) are also sidelined, so the Magic will need to go deep into their rotation to fill the void. That said, Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Jalen Suggs should be the primary scoring options. However, Chuma Okeke and Moritz Wagner, who will start, are both worth streaming.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) is out on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is also out, joining Markelle Fultz (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle) on the shelf versus the defending champs. As a result, Moritz Wagner will slide into the starting lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 4.4 rebounds this season. However, he should see a significant increase in production on Friday, so he's worth streaming in all fantasy formats. He'll also make an ideal value option for those participating in DFS contests.

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) won't play on Friday night versus the Kings. The 24-year-old was listed as questionable because of a right quad contusion. However, he hasn't played the best this season, averaging 11.3 points, more than six points fewer than last season, so his absence won't significantly impact fantasy managers. Nonetheless, without Trent, the starting lineup will presumably handle all the minutes they can handle, with Dennis Schroder expected to see the most minutes from off the bench.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) remains out on Friday versus the Miami Heat. He's already missed two games because of a right hamstring strain. However, his questionable designation during the day on Friday suggests he's at least moving in a favorable direction. Nonetheless, with Eric Gordon (knee) also sidelined against Miami, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal should remain the primary offensive contributors for Phoenix. Additionally, there's room for Grayson Allen and Chimezie Metu to get more involved.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could be in for a massive night from a performance perspective. At the same time, Derrick Jones Jr., Josh Green, Jaden Hardy, and Tim Hardaway Jr. could all see an uptick in production.
