Jalen Suggs DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quad) will remain sidelined on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies, which comes as no surprise after head coach Jamahl Mosley's recent comments. While the team waits for the green light to allow Suggs to compete in contact drills in practice, Cole Anthony will remain the starter while the bench minutes get split between a few different players. Anthony Black has seen some more opportunities while Gary Harris and Tristan da Silva also get some added minutes. If Anthony is unavailable, then Black is likely to be the more consistent option in deeper leagues after posting 10 points, two rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in their last game.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) still isn't ready to make his return to the lineup on Thursday versus the Atlanta Hawks. On Tuesday, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley noted that Suggs is able to run in practice but hasn't worked on any contact drills. Suggs has missed 19 of the last 20 games due to issues with his back and left quadriceps. On Thursday, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black will continue to take on additional responsibilities. Both players performed well in the most recent game, combining for 31 points and 10 assists in a 102-86 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) has been downgraded from doubtful to out ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. He will be sidelined for a ninth consecutive game due to a left quadriceps contusion. Cole Anthony and Anthony Black will continue to have additional fantasy value on Wednesday. Both players have impressed at times during Suggs' injury layoff, but consistency has been an issue for them. In Wednesday's game, they face a Hornets backcourt that won't have LaMelo Ball (ankle), which may allow Anthony and Black to focus more on offense.
