Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Mason Williams of SI.comreports that Orlando Magic guardCole Anthony(toe) won't play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Anthony has been absent in two of the last three Magic games due to a left toe strain. In his last outing on Sunday against Cleveland, the 24-year-old returned to action after missing two straight games. However, he aggravated the injured toe after only six minutes on the floor. Cory Joseph will likely be a starter, while Anthony Black will continue to see an expanded role with Anthony out for this evening's contest.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) returned from a two-game absence for Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. He came off the bench in this one. Unfortunately, he logged only six minutes before reaggravating his nagging left great toe strain. Anthony has been filling much of the void caused by the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee). However, it appears he's in line to miss time, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly. As such, Cory Joseph, amassing three points, four assists, and three steals against Cleveland, should remain in the starting lineup, with Anthony Black, who had 17 points, on tap to stay more involved from off the bench.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) will play on Sunday versus the Cavs after missing the last two games because of a left great toe strain. Jalen Suggs (knee) has been on the shelf, so Anthony has handled things at the point guard position. The 24-year-old has played well for the most part, averaging 13.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.0 steals in 22 starts during the 2024-25 campaign. With Anthony back in the equation, Cory Joseph will head back to the bench, eradicating nearly all of his fantasy potential.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained toe. As a result, Cory Joseph has filled in at the one spot, although he had just eight points in Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. If Anthony remains out, Joseph will likely stay with the first five. However, it will likely be Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner handling most of the work on the offensive end.

Orlando Magic guard Cory Joseph will start in Friday's game against Minnesota. Jalen Suggs (knee) has already been out. However, with Cole Anthony (toe) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) unavailable, Joseph will taking over at the one, with Tristan da Silva handling things at the shooting guard position. Joseph was with the first five in Thursday's loss to the Pelicans, finishing with 12 points, six boards, and three assists while shooting 50% from behind the arc. Although Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero should remain the team's top scorers, managers can consider Joseph for DFS lineups.
