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

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.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's battle against Milwaukee. He's back after missing one game due to a left knee strain. The veteran will likely bump Caleb Houstan back to the second unit. Before injuring his knee last week, Caldwell-Pope was enjoying his best stretch of the season with some hot outside shooting. However, with Paolo Banchero back in the lineup, Caldwell-Pope will have a reduced role on offense and may fall short of fantasy expectations.

According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel,Orlando Magic guard/forwardKentavious Caldwell-Pope(knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Caldwell-Pope sat out Sunday's game with Philadelphia due to a strained left knee. However, the 31-year-old did practice on Tuesday, potentially meaning he could be good to go versus the Bucks on Wednesday. If Caldwell-Pope is unavailable, the spotlight will be on Caleb Houstan, who will likely start. As a starter, Houstan has been averaging 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.0 in 24.8 minutes during five contests in the 2024-2025 campaign.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday. A knee issue limited Caldwell-Pope to 11 minutes in Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Still, he appeared to be on track to play on Sunday when the team listed him as probable on the initial injury report. However, the veteran has been ruled out for the contest ahead of tip-off. Caleb Houstan will fill in for Caldwell-Pope in the starting lineup. Houstan recently enjoyed a four-game stint as a starter but didn't offer much fantasy-wise. He averaged 7.3 points and 1.8 rebounds across 24.5 minutes in that role.
