Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (illness) is officially listed as questionable for the Magic's game Thursday against the Jazz. The 21-year-old missed the team's game on Tuesday due to illness and is at risk of sitting out his third consecutive game on Thursday. Should Banchero be sidelined once more, Caleb Houston would likely step into the starting lineup again. Banchero boasts averages of 22.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 34.8 minutes per game this season.
Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (illness) won't play on Tuesday versus Brooklyn. He will miss a second consecutive contest with an illness despite being at the morning shootaround. Caleb Houstan will be his replacement in the starting lineup on Tuesday. The 21-year-old finds himself among the starters for the ninth time this season, but he hasn't taken advantage of the previous opportunities. Despite averaging a healthy 26.6 minutes as a starter, Houstan has posted only 9.0 points with 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists.
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus Brooklyn. He injured his left knee on Sunday against Atlanta. There was hope of Isaac being available for the contest after the team initially listed him as questionable, but he has now been officially ruled out. With Paolo Banchero (illness) questionable, Orlando's frontcourt rotation could look quite unusual on Tuesday. Moritz Wagner and Caleb Houstan could have larger roles, with Chuma Okeke possibly also re-entering the rotation.
Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest against Brooklyn. The veteran didn't play on Sunday versus Atlanta in the second leg of a back-to-back. He also missed a game in a back-to-back situation in the week prior as the team continues to manage Harris' right calf injury. Harris has started in each of his last two games, but he's not very productive fantasy-wise, with averages of 7.0 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Nets. He hurt his left knee early into Sunday's battle with the Hawks, but MRI results showed no significant injuries, and Isaac might be in the lineup on Tuesday. The 26-year-old could get some extra action on Tuesday if Paolo Banchero (illness) remains out, although Orlando tends to keep his involvement capped at around 20 minutes. Caleb Houstan benefited from Isaac's absence on Sunday, but he has been an unproductive fantasy performer.
