Terrence Ross, R.J. Hampton Land In Safety Protocols, Out Friday
Terrence Ross and point/shooting guard R.J. Hampton have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols and will miss at least Friday night's game. Their absence has left the Magic backcourt extremely thin with Cole Anthony (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (thumb) sidelined; Gary Harris and Mychal Mulder are the only usual backcourt members active against the Heat. Ross had begun to find his offensive rhythm over his past four contests, in which he averaged 18 points per game off the bench; Hampton made his first start of the season Wednesday and logged 15 points. The next chance that either of the duo has to suit up comes Saturday vs. Brooklyn, although that seems highly unlikely due to the nature of the protocols.

Terrence Ross Listed As Questionable Against Chicago
Terrence Ross (toe) has been tagged as questionable for the team's game on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. He was forced to miss his first game, on Wednesday, since joining the team. The right toe soreness that he's experiencing seems to be severe enough to keep him from playing at least one game and maybe even two. If he's unable to play on Friday, both Cameron Payne and Josh Okogie should be solid streaming options.

Terrence Ross Ruled Out Wednesday
Terrence Ross (toe) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against Charlotte. The veteran is dealing with a sore right toe and will miss his first game since joining the team on Feb. 15. Ross has done a decent job for Phoenix off the bench, averaging 10.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists, but he's role is set to be smaller going forward, as Kevin Durant (knee) is ready to start his life as a Sun.

Terrence Ross Joins Starting Five Friday
Terrence Ross has been elevated to the starting lineup for Friday's game against Washington. Ross will be making his first start since Nov. 1, although his production with the starting unit has been largely hit or miss this year (five single-digit scoring outings in eight games). Working in Ross' favor is that Washington is allowing opponents to shoot 37.4% percent from long range, the third-highest mark in the league. The veteran will be largely a DFS tournament play for fantasy managers banking on his scoring upside.

Terrence Ross A Late Scratch On Friday
Terrence Ross (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Ross is a late scratch due to a non-COVID related illness. The Magic will likely split up the extra playing time between Gary Harris and RJ Hampton. Neither are great streaming options, but could be worth a look for desperate fantasy managers in deep leagues. The expectation is that Ross should be back soon and this is be a one-game absence.
