Desmond Bane Desmond Bane tallies 22 points, three steals
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 4:34 PM
Desmond Bane amassed 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), one rebound, six assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: For the first time since the end of February, Bane has surpassed 20 points in consecutive games. One night removed from dropping 35 in a win over the Cavaliers, he had another good night shooting-wise, knocking down 50 percent of his attempts. All that Bane's line lacked was a blocked shot, and he has been a top-10 player in fantasy basketball since the All-Star break. Orlando ends Week 20 with a game against the Heat on Saturday. |

Wendell Carter Wendell Carter Jr. records 19/11/3/2/2 stat line
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 4:34 PM
Wendell Carter Jr. tallied 19 points (8-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: The Magic received double-doubles from two of their starting frontcourt players, Carter and Paolo Banchero (18/11/5). The former produced a complete stat line against the Wizards, with the four defensive contributions being the most in a game for Carter since a January 18 loss to the Grizzlies. Carter's season-long fantasy value has been solid, but he remains a challenging player to trust fully in 12-team leagues. |

Analysis: Suggs finished Thursday's overtime victory with a season-high point total, with this being his first game with 25 or more since mid-December. Add in the rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers, and fantasy managers had to be pleased with the Magic guard's production. Orlando plays once more in Week 20, on Saturday against the Heat. |

Analysis: One day removed from scoring a season-high 23 points in a win over the Cavaliers, da Silva was even more productive on Thursday. The second-year forward recorded a career-high point total as part of a loaded stat line. Rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, da Silva is worth a look in some 12-team formats while the Magic await the returns of Franz Wagner and Anthony Black. |

Orlando Magic
Jonathan Isaac (knee) will not return to Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Isaac played one minute before exiting Thursday's game with what has been diagnosed as a sprained left knee. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for Noah Penda and Goga Bitadze. According to the Magic, how much time Isaac misses will depend on his knee's response to treatment. |

Analysis: With Anthony Black joining Franz Wagner on the sidelines due to injury, da Silva returned to the Magic starting lineup on Wednesday. And the second-year forward took advantage of his latest opportunity, putting up 23 points on excellent percentages.

Paolo Banchero accounted for 25 points (8-of-18 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane goes off for game-high 35 points
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 4:23 PM
Desmond Bane finished Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers with 35 points (12-of-19 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Bane finished Wednesday's victory with his 12th 30-point game of the season. He's now second on the Magic's list of 30-point games in a player's debut season, trailing Tracy McGrady (26). Bane only attempted three three-pointers against the Cavaliers, doing a lot of his work in the paint and just outside of it. And he could be in for another big game on Thursday, as the Magic host the Wizards. |

Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 6:55 AM
Orlando Magic
According to the Orlando Magic's official X.com account, Anthony Black (back) underwent an MRI on Monday, which showed a left lateral abdominal muscle strain, and his return will depend on how he responds to treatment.
Analysis: Black sustained the back injury in Saturday's win over Minnesota, and he'll be out indefinitely as a result. Until Black is cleared to get back on the court, Tristan da Silva should continue to take on an expanded role. The latter is worth an add off of the waiver wire. |

Analysis: Suggs finished Saturday's victory with a complete stat line, and he's recorded at least four assists in each of his last four appearances. During this stretch, the Magic guard has totaled 24 assists and seven turnovers, an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio. Similar to Boston's Derrick White, Suggs' production across the stat line has helped compensate for a low field-goal percentage in terms of his fantasy value. |
