NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Isaac (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Isaac has missed Orlando's last three games due to soreness in his left knee. While Noah Penda has picked up rotation minutes off the bench recently, he has not done enough to merit rostering in redraft leagues. |

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: Bane did a little bit of everything in Sunday's win over the Bucks. He had 18 points and nine assists as well as four steals on the defensive end.

Analysis: Banchero had a spinning layup and was fouled just before halftime to give the Magic a 67-55 lead. The 23-year-old power forward had a dunk in transition three minutes into the second half that put the Magic up by 22. Banchero was superb in 29 minutes in the 39-point victory. He's provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Magic have three games coming up in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. |

Orlando Magic
Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Isaac will miss a third consecutive game with a sore left knee. Noah Penda has played more minutes recently, and that should continue on Sunday. However, he should only be rostered in dynasty leagues. Goga Bitadze's playing time has been a bit more volatile due to Moritz Wagner's play. |

Analysis: Isaac has missed Orlando's last two games with a sore left knee, resulting in rookie Noah Penda picking up additional minutes off the bench. Neither player is in a position to affect redraft leagues, but Penda will be a player of interest for dynasty league reasons. |

Jalen Suggs Jalen Suggs hits three triples, scores 14 points
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 11:56 AM
Jalen Suggs tallied 14 points (5-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Timberwolves.
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. |

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane goes for team-high 30 points vs. MIN
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 11:55 AM
Desmond Bane amassed 30 points (10-of-17 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in Saturday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Interestingly, Bane's 11th game with at least 30 points did not include a three-pointer. The Magic guard missed all five of his attempts, but he was a perfect 10-of-10 from the foul line. Add in the rebounds, assists and field-goal percentage, and Bane's performance on Saturday was excellent overall. Orlando ends its Week 19 slate on Sunday against the Bucks. |

Analysis: Banchero and the Magic picked up an impressive road victory on Saturday, winning by 27 points. While he did commit five turnovers, fantasy managers will take the points, rebounds and percentages that Banchero produced. And Orlando has one more game to play in Week 19, as they visit the Bucks on Sunday. |

Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 6:46 AM
Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Anthony Black Anthony Black (quad) struggles in return Thursday
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 3:49 PM
Anthony Black (quad) finished Thursday's win over the Mavericks with eight points (3-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Analysis: Having returned to the Magic lineup after missing two games with a quad injury, Black logged 24 minutes against Dallas. The guard did struggle with his shot, missing all three of his three-point attempts and shooting 3-of-9 from two. However, Black provided some value in the assist and steal categories, so all wasn't lost for fantasy managers who have him rostered. |

Tristan da Silva Tristan da Silva doesn't miss, scores 19 points
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 3:48 PM
Tristan da Silva recorded 19 points (7-of-7 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, three steals and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: While Anthony Black's return from a quad injury pushed him to the bench on Thursday, that didn't prevent da Silva from having one of his best offensive performances of the season. The second-year forward didn't miss a shot, including a 4-of-4 night from beyond the arc. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good night for those who held onto da Silva in their fantasy leagues. |

Paolo Banchero Paolo Banchero posts 16 points, 12 rebounds
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 3:48 PM
Paolo Banchero finished Thursday's win over the Mavericks with 16 points (7-of-17 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Banchero has now recorded four double-doubles since the All-Star break, and he was also responsible for solid numbers in the assist and steal categories on Thursday. Generally speaking, the Magic forward has been a better option in points leagues than category leagues. However, since the break, Banchero has provided top-50 value in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. |

Jalen Suggs Jalen Suggs records 17/2/7/2/1 line vs. Dallas
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 3:46 PM
Jalen Suggs amassed 17 points (6-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: With the Magic on the verge of suffering a disappointing home defeat, Suggs came through with two huge plays in the final minute. After hitting a three-pointer with 32.2 seconds remaining to pull Orlando to within one, Suggs found Wendell Carter Jr. for the game-winning dunk with 1.4 seconds remaining. The Magic guard's availability to fill a stat line makes him a valuable player in category leagues, even with his shooting 43.2 percent from the field this season. |

Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 11:25 AM
Orlando Magic
Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Isaac will not be available for Thursday's game due to a sore left knee, freeing a few minutes on the back end of the Magic's frontcourt rotation. Goga Bitadze may pick up a few more minutes, but he isn't worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. |

Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 11:23 AM
Orlando Magic PR
Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is available to play against the Mavericks on Thursday.
Analysis: WCJ will be back after missing Tuesday's game against Washington. Goga Bitadze started that game in his place, but he'll likely be pushed back out of the rotation entirely with Carter returning. |
