Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner left a second consecutive game early due to an illness on Wednesday. He logged 23 minutes in a 102-99 loss to Chicago, scoring seven points while registering three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block. The German star was limited to 11 minutes on Monday versus Indiana. Fantasy managers are currently in a tough spot regarding Wagner, but hopefully, he can fully shake off the illness before the next game. Orlando returns to the court on Friday against Cleveland.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Isaac is back in the mix after missing the last three games due to a left hip contusion. He has a limited fantasy value with him being behind Paolo Banchero in the rotation. It's possible that Isaac only sees minutes in the teens as the primary backup power forward. He doesn't appear to be offering enough upside right now to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hip) continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Chicago. Isaac was hurt in the season opener and has been held out of action since then. There hasn't really been a direct beneficiary of Isaac's absence, as Orlando's bench mob has not been very productive. However, Wednesday night could be a different story, as Chicago doesn't have a good record against second units. Anthony Black has seen the most minutes off the Magic bench, while Moritz Wagner has been the biggest threat offensively.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (foot) has been labeled as questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Bulls. Bitadze missed his first game of the season Monday night versus Indiana due to a foot injury. He wasn't a big miss for the Magic, as the Georgian big man has averaged only 5.7 minutes for the campaign. Moritz Wagner gets some extra work with Bitadze out. He's averaging 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 15.0 minutes. The 27-year-old German could be a bit more productive on Wednesday night, as Chicago allows the eight-most points and the third-most rebounds to opposing benches in the league.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) won't return to Monday's game against Indiana. He is under the weather, resulting in a questionable tag early on Monday. While the 23-year-old was active to begin the contest, he'll finish this one with seven points and a steal in 11 minutes of work. For now, fantasy managers should consider Wagner as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. If he can't get on the floor for that one, Gary Harris would presumably take his spot in the rotation. There would also be room for Moritz Wagner to receive more minutes.
