Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) will not be available for a fourth straight game on Tuesday against the Knicks. The veteran nurses a left hamstring strain. Harris had just made his second start of the year when he got hurt. However, he's not been a big part of the Magic rotation, averaging 4.1 points in 16.6 minutes. Tristan Da Silva, Anthony Black, and Jett Howard have been more involved in the action without Harris, but the three don't provide consistent fantasy value.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) hasn't played since October 30 due to an oblique injury but seems to be trending in the right direction. He told Sports Illustrated that he was feeling good and returned to the court where he got some ball-handling and spot-shooting work done. He wasn't able to do any sprinting or cutting just yet but has made some steps toward getting healthier. Banchero said before that he wants to return before Christmas, but the timetable hasn't been clarified just yet.

Orlando Magic centerWendell Carter Jr.(foot) is unavailable for Monday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets due to left foot plantar fasciitis. Carter has been considered questionable for several games recently, which could mean he will return soon. With the 25-year-old still out and recovering, centersGoga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner will continue to see an uptick in minutes on the court for Orlando, who have won eight of 11 games while Carter has been out.

Due to a left hamstring strain, Orlando Magic guardJalen Suggs(hamstring) is unavailable for Monday's contest with the Charlotte Hornets. Suggs was a late addition to the team's injury report. He is yet to miss a game in this year's campaign, suiting up for 18 straight games. With the 23-year-old out, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony will likely see more action during Monday's affair.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (hamstring) was a later addition to the injury report ahead of the team's Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's currently listed as questionable while he deals with a left hamstring strain. Whenever someone is added to the injury report in the afternoon leading up to the game, it's never a good sign. If he's unable to suit up, Anthony Black or Gary Harris could join the starting five with both of them getting more opportunities either way.
