Paolo Banchero Paolo Banchero has 20/9/6 line in win over Raptors
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 4:32 PM
Paolo Banchero had 20 points (5-of-11 FTs, 9-of-11 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Banchero had scored a combined 68 points in his last two games entering play Friday, but took a backseat to Desmond Bane when it came to scoring against the Raptors. The 23-year-old power forward still had a full stat line and came just one rebound and four assists away from a triple-double. Banchero has provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. He'll have another chance for a big game this week Sunday against the Spurs. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black has 25/4/6 line in win over Raptors
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 4:26 PM
Anthony Black had 25 points (5-of-11 FGs, 14-of-14 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Black has posted at least 25 points in two consecutive games. The 22-year-old point guard went about the scoring in completely different ways. In Wednesday's win over the Heat, Black didn't make a free throw and only even attempted one shot from the charity stripe. Friday against the Raptors, he made all 14 of his free throw attempts. While Black is averaging just 15.8 points per game this year and the boost in scoring is likely a blip, he still offers enough fantasy value to be rostered in standard leagues. |

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane has 32 points, seven threes in win
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 4:20 PM
Desmond Bane had 32 points (11-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, two assists and seven three-pointers in the Magic's 130-120 victory over the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: The Magic trailed by 13 points after three quarters, but Bane got white hot in the fourth quarter and carried Orlando to victory. The 27-year-old shooting guard had 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting and four three-pointers in the fourth quarter alone. The Magic improved to 6-0 this season when Bane has at least 30 points. The was exactly what the team envisioned when they traded for Bane in the offseason. He's provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Magic will close out the week Sunday against the Spurs. |

Jason Beede
Franz Wagner (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Friday's game will be the fifth that Wagner has missed due to injury management for a high left ankle sprain. How long he'll remain out is unknown. However, what is known is that Anthony Black will remain in the starting lineup, and the third-year guard should be rostered in 12-team leagues by now. |

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane logs 23 points, five dimes vs. Miami
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 5:06 PM
Desmond Bane notched 23 points (10-of-16 FGs), one rebound, five assists, two steals and three three-pointers in the win over the Heat on Monday.
Analysis: Bane's contributions on the offensive end played a big factor in Orlando ending its four-game losing streak on Wednesday. He made shots efficiently from behind the three-point line as well as inside it, while his contributions as a passer led him to finish as one of the Magic's leaders in assists on the evening. Bane didn't get to the free-throw line in this game and also failed to make much of an impact on the glass. However, his passing and production as a scorer were enough to land him a nice final line. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black scores 26, adds four steals vs. Heat
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 4:59 PM
Anthony Black tallied 26 points (11-of-19 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, four steals, two blocks and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: Black was exceptional on Wednesday evening against the Heat. Offensively, he shot the ball with great accuracy, leading him to finish as one of three Magic players to score at least 20 points. He added a handful of assists, as well, but also tallied six stocks on the defensive end to give him fantastic fantasy production in the win. Black's performance against Miami may be the one that gets him back on track following a few underwhelming performances. |

Paolo Banchero Paolo Banchero posts 31/12 double-double vs. MIA
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 4:52 PM
Paolo Banchero amassed 31 points (11-of-23 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in the win over the Heat.
Analysis: Banchero was, once again, dominant on Wednesday. He logged a second straight 30-point double-double, mostly operating inside the arc to tally his points. The fourth-year forward led all scorers in the game and has slowly picked up his production in January following a rough December. If Banchero can continue playing at this level, he'll have a chance to get the Magic back on track over the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should be excited about his recent progress. |

Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 10:28 AM
Franz Wagner (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Wagner is set to miss his fourth consecutive game. The 24-year-old small forward is listed as out for high left ankle sprain injury management reasons. Anthony Black will continue to start and should be rostered in standard formats until Wagner returns. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black has 14 points in loss to Cleveland
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 4:20 PM
Anthony Black finished Monday's loss to the Cavaliers with 14 points (6-of-14 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Black had a fairly balanced performance in Monday's rematch with the Cavaliers. In 37 minutes, he was impactful on the defensive end and totaled four stocks, while inefficient shooting from beyond the arc limited his scoring production. Still, the third-year guard out of Arkansas finished as one of three Orlando players to score in double figures, and he was one of the team's best passers in the loss. Fantasy managers, however, should be craving more from Black, based on some of the heights he reached earlier this season. |

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane scores 19 Monday in loss to CLE
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 4:12 PM
Desmond Bane produced 19 points (7-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers on Monday.
Analysis: Bane followed Saturday's 20-point performance in a loss to Cleveland with similar production on Monday. The first-year Magic guard was productive from beyond the arc and, in his 38 minutes, finished as the Magic's second-leading scorer for the game. Yet Bane went without an assist for the first time all season, and with his unspectacular assist total and pair of stocks, he didn't provide fantasy managers with much production. He'll have a chance to put up a better line on Wednesday against the Heat. |

Paolo Banchero Paolo Banchero drops 37 points in loss to Cavs
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 4:05 PM
Paolo Banchero notched 37 points (13-of-21 FGs, 9-of-13 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Banchero did what he could to try to get the Magic back on track. Yet, his highest-scoring game of January wasn't enough to end the Magic's losing streak, which is now at four games. Banchero's season high in points on Monday came on a blend of three-pointers, shots inside the arc, and production from the free-throw line. On top of his scoring outburst, he reached double figures in rebounds to secure his 14th double-double of the season. Regardless of whether Orlando can get back on track or not, it's clear that Banchero will continue to deliver strong production from a fantasy basketball standpoint. |

Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 7:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Franz Wagner (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Monday's game will be the third that Wagner has missed, with the description being changed from âleft ankle sorenessâ to âhigh left ankle sprain injury management.â Before Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Wagner did some light, non-contact shooting during the pregame shootaround. As long as Wagner is out, Anthony Black will start, and he should be rostered in standard leagues. |

Paolo Banchero Banchero leads Magic with 27 points in defeat
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 3:41 PM
Paolo Banchero amassed a team-high 27 points (7-of-14 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), five rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: It's been a frustrating season for Banchero and the Magic as they've consistently struggled to generate enough offense to turn things around. The 23-year-old playmaker has scored at least 20 points in seven of 10 games since Janaury 1, but the Magic are just 4-6 overall during that span. He's dropped from 25.9 points per-game last season to just 21.1 through 34 contests this season. The Magic have a rematch against the Cavaliers on Monday before facing the Heat, Raptors and Spurs to close out a four-game week. |

Desmond Bane Bane scores 20 points in loss to Cavaliers
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 3:40 PM
Desmond Bane tallied 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Orlando's marquee offseason addition, Bane has been a consistent scoring threat, averaging 18.9 points through 44 games in his Magic debut. The 27-year-old guard has struggled from three-point range this season and was just 2-of-6 from downtown in this one. Simply put, Bane and Banchero haven't supplied enough from an offensive standpoint which makes it critical to get Franz Wagner (ankle) back as quickly as possible. |

Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:38 PM
Jason Beede
Jalen Suggs, Anthony Black, Desmond Bane, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: After missing Orlando's last eight games, Suggs is available and will be in the starting lineup. He isn't officially under a minutes restriction, but some precautions could be taken with the guard's playing time. Tristan da Silva will head to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling. |

NBA Injury Report
Jalen Suggs (knee) is probable to play against the Cavaliers on Saturday.
Analysis: Suggs has missed Orlando's last eight games, but he is expected to return to take on Cleveland. That will push Tristan da Silva back to the bench after a one-game stint as a starter. Jase Richardson should also lose out on minutes. |
