Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Washington. Heading into Wednesday, Harris was listed as questionable for the game after playing 22 minutes in Tuesday's matchup against Charlotte, but he has now been officially ruled out. The veteran is dealing with a right calf strain, and the team is giving him some extra rest. Cole Anthony and Anthony Black should be the biggest beneficiaries of Harris' absence in a very favorable matchup against a poor defensive team.
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Wizards. The team is finishing off a back-to-back and might elect to avoid overloading Isaac, who's had all kinds of injury troubles in his career. Isaac logged 18 minutes off the bench Tuesday versus Charlotte and had a good outing with 11 points, six rebounds, one steal, and one block. Caleb Houstan figures to be more involved in the rotation on Wednesday if Isaac doesn't play, but he's a guy fantasy managers can safely ignore.
Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Washington. The Magic are completing a back-to-back and might sit Harris on Wednesday for right calf injury management purposes. Harris' absence would open up a spot in the first unit. Cole Anthony and Anthony Black are the main backups to Harris, while Markelle Fultz (rest) will also be an additional backcourt option on Wednesday after sitting out the first leg of the back-to-back. Washington has the worst defensive rating among all teams but plays with the highest pace in the league, so this is a dream matchup for Magic players.
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It looks like Caldwell-Pope is back in the mix after sitting out of Saturday's game due to personal reasons. Christian Braun received the start in his place but didn't do much with the additional playing time. In fact, Justin Holiday actually outplayed him, but neither are reliable fantasy options with Caldwell-Pope back in action on Tuesday.
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets could be shorthanded here with Jamal Murray (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. Justin Holiday figures to fill the spot in the starting five left by Caldwell-Pope. Despite the extra minutes, Holiday doesn't offer great streaming value. He has a limited ceiling and isn't even an above-average option on a small-slate night like Saturday.
