Gary Harris Remains Unavailable Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Tuesday against Minnesota. The veteran strained his right calf a week ago and still needs more time off to be able to play again. With Harris out, Cole Anthony has logged over 30 minutes in back-to-back games. He's done a good job in a bench role all season, posting 14.3 points with 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists. The team also had Markelle Fultz back on the court last time out, although his playing time was capped at 15 minutes, and he was clearly rusty.

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Be Sidelined On Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is set to miss his third consecutive game with right knee tendinitis. The 24-year-old has unfortunately been plagued with injury after injury and hasn't been able to reach his true potential. This is going to be his 24th missed game so far this season which already takes him out of the regular season award conversation. He's only been able to play 60 or more games once in his six seasons in the NBA so far. Fantasy managers will want to shift their attention to Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze in the meantime. Bitadze has a bit more upside, but they're both solid streaming options until Carter returns.

Franz Wagner Ruled Out Again For Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will be his third consecutive missed game after not missing a single game prior. The Michigan product sprained his ankle on January 3 against the Sacramento Kings when he was only five minutes into the game. They've been able to squeak out two wins while he's been out, but Wagner's offensive abilities are missed. There still isn't a firm timetable for his return, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned to see if his status is upgraded for the next game. In the meantime, Caleb Houstan and Chuma Okeke will see some extra minutes. Houstan is likely the better streaming option for managers in need.

Caleb Houstan Starting On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Caleb Houstan will move into the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite Anthony Black (illness) and Markelle Fultz (knee) being available, Houstan will get the starting nod on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't jump to the waiver wire considering Houstan hasn't done much on the court lately. However, Goga Bitadze could be worth a look as a streaming option with starting center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) sidelined on Sunday.

Wendell Carter Jr. Unavailable On Sunday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a lingering knee issue. His absence should mean increased playing time for Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner. Between the two, Bitadze is the better streaming option, assuming he gets moved into the starting lineup. The expectation is that Carter will be back soon and this is a minor issue.
