Kentavious Caldwell-Pope DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) will take off Friday night and won't be in the lineup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran is being rested for the second leg of a back-to-back. Tristan da Silva is set to start Friday's game in Caldwell-Pope's place. The starting role will boost da Silva's fantasy value, although his numbers have only slightly increased when he has been part of the starting group this season. In 35 starts, the 23-year-old rookie has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. There was some uncertainty if Caldwell-Pope would suit up for both games of the back-to-back set. It appears that the veteran guard is feeling good enough to play after playing 22 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that Caldwell-Pope will have his normal role in the rotation, but he's really only offering low-end value right now.

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.
