Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Harris is dealing with a left hamstring strain that's caused him to miss a significant amount of time this season. The 30-year-old was able to suit up for three games for the Magic before missing Friday's game in Toronto. Given this is the same hamstring that's already been causing him issues fantasy managers should proceed with caution if he's on their roster. In his absence, expect Jonathan Isaac to receive more minutes off the bench.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Suggs exited Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors early when he sustained his back injury. The 23-year-old has only missed three games this season. Given Orlando's lengthy injury report, Magic fans and fantasy managers can only hope that the strain won't keep him out of the lineup for long. In his absence, expect Tristan Da Silva to get more usage in the starting lineup. Cole Anthony should be expected to get more volume at point guard as well. Both should make solid fantasy options against a soft Jazz defense.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) won't return to Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The 23-year-old wasn't having the best game, scoring only six points until he went down with a non-contact injury near the end of the second quarter. He was taken off the floor in a wheelchair and eventually diagnosed with back spasms. However, Suggs will likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. If he's not available on Sunday versus Utah, Cole Anthony could be in line for some more minutes.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) remained out ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus the Pistons. However, he was spotted before the game getting "on-court" work. Without question, this is an excellent sign regarding the 22-year-old, who averaged 29.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in five games before going down with an oblique injury. While it's still too early to speculate, it seems logical to assume Banchero could be back at some point in the next few games. Granted, it will take him time before he's back to his pre-injury workload. Yet, the former Duke Blue Devil should be starting in all fantasy lineups as soon as he gets the green light to get back on the floor.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (wrist) will be active against Detroit on Wednesday. Orlando has upgraded him from probable to available. A wrist injury limited Suggs to just 13 minutes in the previous game against Brooklyn. Suggs is having a career year in 2024-25 and should continue leading the Magic in Wednesday's favorable matchup against a Detroit team with a below-average defense. He went for 20-plus points in back-to-back games before exiting early on Sunday.
