Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Hawks. He'll miss his second-straight game on Sunday. However, the Magic are heading to the Play-In tournament, so there's no reason Banchero needs to be out there. Franz Wagner (knee) also won't get on the floor. But Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) and Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) are good to go, although it's unknown how much work they'll receive. As such, Caleb Houstan and Tristan da Silva, combining for 24 points on Friday night, should continue to have value for DFS managers.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) is questionable heading into Sunday's game in Atlanta. He didn't suit up for Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Without him, Caleb Houstan entered the starting lineup, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds, and three assists. If Banchero, Franz Wagner (knee), Wendell Carter Jr. (hip), and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) all remain on the shelf, Houston is worth considering for all DFS contests. The same would apply to Anthony Black, Tristan da Silva, Trevelin Queen, and Jett Howard, with the group combining for 77 points on Friday night.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) won't play on Friday against the Pacers. He logged 22 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. However, the Magic are locked into the Play-In tournament, so Orlando also won't have Franz Wagner (knee), Paolo Banchero (ankle), and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) in the lineup on Friday evening. But as far as Carter is directly concerned, Goga Bitadze will likely fill the void in the middle, with the 25-year-old averaging 9.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 41 starts this season.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (knee) won't play against the Pacers on Friday. Orlando is already locked into the Play-In tournament. As such, Paolo Banchero (ankle), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee), and Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will join Wagner on the shelf. With that in mind, Cole Anthony is still available, so it's logical to assume he could be the most productive on the offensive end. However, guys like Caleb Houstan, Anthony Black, and Goga Bitadze could easily surpass the 5x value mark for DFS participants.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't play on Friday against Indiana. The Magic are bound for the Play-In tournament, so the team will give Banchero, Franz Wagner (knee), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee), and Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) the night off. As a result, DFS managers could see increased production from Cole Anthony, Goga Bitadze, Caleb Houstan, and Anthony Black.
