Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will be his third consecutive missed game after not missing a single game prior. The Michigan product sprained his ankle on January 3 against the Sacramento Kings when he was only five minutes into the game. They've been able to squeak out two wins while he's been out, but Wagner's offensive abilities are missed. There still isn't a firm timetable for his return, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned to see if his status is upgraded for the next game. In the meantime, Caleb Houstan and Chuma Okeke will see some extra minutes. Houstan is likely the better streaming option for managers in need.

Orlando Magic guard Caleb Houstan will move into the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite Anthony Black (illness) and Markelle Fultz (knee) being available, Houstan will get the starting nod on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't jump to the waiver wire considering Houstan hasn't done much on the court lately. However, Goga Bitadze could be worth a look as a streaming option with starting center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) sidelined on Sunday.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a lingering knee issue. His absence should mean increased playing time for Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner. Between the two, Bitadze is the better streaming option, assuming he gets moved into the starting lineup. The expectation is that Carter will be back soon and this is a minor issue.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is out again for Sunday's game against Atlanta. The 22-year-old tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's double-overtime meeting with the Sacramento Kings and didn't play on Friday versus Denver. Chuma Okeke got the start in his place, finishing with seven rebounds, three points, one steal, and one block. Of course, without Wagner on the floor, Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero, and Cole Anthony should remain the primary scoring options, with the trio accounting for 82 of Orlando's 122 team points on Friday.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has been under the weather, and he missed Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) was also unavailable, so Moritz Wagner moved into the starting lineup. He played well, amassing 19 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals. If Bitadze and Carter miss another game, Wagner remains a must-start in all fantasy leagues.
