Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) will play on Monday against the Pacers. He wasn't feeling well, resulting in a questionable tag earlier on Monday. However, it won't be enough to keep the 25-year-old off the floor. Wagner has played extremely well so far this season, averaging 25.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 45.5% shooting from deep. Fantasy managers must keep him in the starting lineup, even if there is a chance he sees fewer minutes due to his illness.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (foot) won't play in Monday's game versus the Indiana Pacers. The 2019 No. 18 overall pick hasn't done much this season, averaging 1.7 points and 1.7 rebounds. However, with Jonathan Isaac (hip) also ruled out, it could mean even more minutes for Moritz Wagner, who has averaged 11 points and four boards in Orlando's first three contests. With that in mind, Wagner could garner attention from fantasy managers in deeper fantasy setups. He'll also be an attractive DFS value option, even more so if Franz Wagner (illness) can't get on the floor.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) won't play in Monday's matchup with the Pacers. The 27-year-old logged 11 minutes in the opener against the Miami Heat, finishing with three points, two blocks, and one steal. Unfortunately, he's been on the shelf since with a hip contusion, so he'll miss his third consecutive contest. Without Isaac on the floor, Orlando will likely give more minutes to Moritz Wagner, who has averaged 11.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in the Magic's three games this season, giving him some value for DFS participants.

Orlando Magic center/forward Goga Bitadze (foot) makes an early-season appearance on the injury report while he deals with a left foot injury of sorts. He's listed as questionable for the team's Monday night contest against the Indiana Pacers and could leave the Magic's frontcourt quite thin. Franz Wagner (illness) and Jonathan Isaac (hip) are also listed as questionable at this time. That leaves Wendell Carter Jr., Moritz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, and Jett Howard as possible options. The former three would all be viable as fantasy options.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) popped up on Monday's injury report later in the morning due to an illness. Right now, he's listed as questionable, but with the later addition to the injury report, his status is worth monitoring up until tip-off. If Wagner can't suit up, with Jonathan Isaac (hip) also listed as questionable, Moritz Wagner could step in to create a big lineup. Gary Harris, Cole Anthony, and Jett Howard all could see more minutes as well.
