Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Utah. The veteran isn't injured. But he may get the night off to rest before likely returning for Monday's game at Golden State. With Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) also uncertain to suit up against the Jazz, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony could find themselves in the starting lineup, enhancing their fantasy value. But Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, who took nearly half of Orlando's 81 shot attempts in Thursday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, should continue to benefit the most on the scoring end if KCP and Suggs aren't available.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with Utah. Suggs missed 10 games because of a back injury before returning for the January 25 meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Unfortunately, he sustained a quad contusion in that one and hasn't been on the floor since. If Suggs remains on the shelf, Anthony Black, averaging 9.9 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in seven starts will likely remain in the starting lineup. However, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, who took nearly half of the Magic's shot attempts in Thursday's loss to Portland, should continue to do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) won't play on Thursday against Portland. He was listed as questionable heading into this one and considered a game-time call. But the 23-year-old will now miss his second-consecutive contest. With that in mind, Anthony Black, averaging 11.5 points and 1.5 points in six starts this season, will take Suggs' spot in the rotation, making him a viable fantasy option in all formats.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He could be out for a second straight game due to a left quadriceps contusion. On Monday against the Miami Heat, Anthony Black filled in for Suggs in the starting lineup and played a huge role. He logged 42 minutes of action in a 125-119 double-overtime loss, notching 14 points, three assists, and a career-high five steals. If Suggs remains out on Thursday, Black should enjoy further success against a team that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards, including a league-high 2.71 steals per game.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) will sit out Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Suggs returned from a 10-game absence over the weekend but unfortunately has to take some time out again after suffering a quadriceps contusion. Anthony Black and Cole Anthony receive a boost with Suggs out of commission. Both played well during Suggs' recent absence, although Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero are back in the lineup now, resulting in reduced offensive touches for Black and Anthony.
