Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's battle against Milwaukee. He's back after missing one game due to a left knee strain. The veteran will likely bump Caleb Houstan back to the second unit. Before injuring his knee last week, Caldwell-Pope was enjoying his best stretch of the season with some hot outside shooting. However, with Paolo Banchero back in the lineup, Caldwell-Pope will have a reduced role on offense and may fall short of fantasy expectations.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (hip) won't play on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. The 25-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 9.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. Unfortunately, he was injured in the Magic's recent loss to the 76ers, exiting after only 12 minutes of work. Without Bitadze, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging 7.9 points and 7.5 rebounds in 19 starts this season, has streaming potential for fantasy managers.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. The 25-year-old has had an excellent season, averaging career-highs in points (9.6), rebounds (8.2), and blocks (1.6). He exited Sunday's game versus Philly after logging just 12 minutes of action and is now in danger of missing Wednesday's contest because of a hip contusion. If Bitadze doesn't suit up, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging 7.9 points and 7.5 rebounds in 19 starts this season, could find himself holding things down in the middle. However, Carter could have a tough time getting things going against a Milwaukee team that has played well on the defensive end this season.

According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel,Orlando Magic guard/forwardKentavious Caldwell-Pope(knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Caldwell-Pope sat out Sunday's game with Philadelphia due to a strained left knee. However, the 31-year-old did practice on Tuesday, potentially meaning he could be good to go versus the Bucks on Wednesday. If Caldwell-Pope is unavailable, the spotlight will be on Caleb Houstan, who will likely start. As a starter, Houstan has been averaging 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.0 in 24.8 minutes during five contests in the 2024-2025 campaign.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday. A knee issue limited Caldwell-Pope to 11 minutes in Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Still, he appeared to be on track to play on Sunday when the team listed him as probable on the initial injury report. However, the veteran has been ruled out for the contest ahead of tip-off. Caleb Houstan will fill in for Caldwell-Pope in the starting lineup. Houstan recently enjoyed a four-game stint as a starter but didn't offer much fantasy-wise. He averaged 7.3 points and 1.8 rebounds across 24.5 minutes in that role.
