Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Harris appears to be on the verge of returning after missing the last nine games due to left hamstring strain. When healthy, Harris has been playing minutes in the teens, which isn't likely going to be enough to warrant rostering in fantasy formats. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Harris until he gives us a reason otherwise.
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Harris has only played one game this month and continues to miss time due to a lingering hamstring injury. This absence isn't going to have a huge impact on the rotation considering he was only playing minutes in the teens. Tristan Da Silva, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Cole Anthony should all see a slight boost in value with Harris remaining on the sideline.
Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old exited a recent meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers because of a hip contusion. However, he also began developing concussion-like symptoms, keeping him off the floor for Orlando's previous two contests. Without Bitadze in the equation, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging a decent 8.5 points and 7.7 rebounds in 21 starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the lineup against a Nuggets squad that has struggled on the defensive end this season.
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) remains sidelined on Friday and will not face the Boston Celtics. This is his eighth consecutive missed game and 22nd missed contest overall. Harris has been plagued with injury after injury which echoes the type of luck that the Magic have had as a team. Since Jalen Suggs (back) is also out, Cole Anthony and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope have been the starting backcourt. Both options are solid in deeper fantasy leagues looking for guard help.
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) is not ready to return just yet as he's listed as out while he continues to ramp up his conditioning. While he's sidelined against the Boston Celtics on Friday, Tristan Da Silva will likely remain in the starting five. Anthony Black, however, has been the better streaming option as he posted 10 points, four assists, and two steals in their last game while clocking 30 minutes off of the bench. Over the last three games, he's averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game.
