Cole Anthony DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (illness) will play on Saturday against the Pistons. The 24-year-old had been starting in place of Jalen Suggs (back). However, Anthony missed the last two games because of an illness, opening the door for Anthony Black to get a crack at the starting lineup. But with Suggs back in the equation and starting, Anthony will head back to the bench. Although Suggs should be limited in his first appearance after missing the last 10 games, Anthony's fantasy potential is much lower.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Anthony has missed each of the last two games due to a lingering illness. The fact he's still listed as questionable means Anthony is in legitimate danger of missing a third straight game. Anthony Black has been playing big minutes for the Magic recently. In fact, Black has played 30 minutes or more in four of the last six games. Black is worth a look as a streaming option with the Magic banged up at the guard spot right now.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (illness) won't play on Thursday against Portland. Anthony hasn't felt well, recently keeping him off the floor for Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. Anthony Black got the start in that one, finishing with 17 points, seven boards, and two steals. Black will likely start once again, giving him added value for fantasy managers. However, he could have a tough time being as productive with Franz Wagner (oblique) returning versus the Trail Blazers.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (illness) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Portland Trail Blazers. An illness may keep Anthony sidelined for a second consecutive game. Anthony has enjoyed a significant role on the team recently, averaging 15.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. However, his influence is about to be reduced as Franz Wagner (oblique) is on the cusp of returning. If Anthony can't suit up on Thursday, Anthony Black will be in line for another start. The second-year player had a rough shooting night on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors but still produced a decent fantasy line with 17 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Toronto. He has failed to shake off an illness ahead of the game. The Magic will start the game with Anthony Black at the point guard position, while Cory Joseph and Trevelin Queen could get extra burn off the bench. Black has played well as of late, averaging 11.6 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.1 steals for the month.
