Franz Wagner Might Return On Sunday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (calf) is questionable to play in Sunday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 22-year-old is averaging a career-high 20.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists this season. However, he strained his calf in a meeting with the Sacramento Kings on January 3, so the team has been without their second-leading […]

We kick off a huge week in the Association with the annual MLK slate - 11 games on a Monday! The NBA has long embraced MLK Day and has used it both to do community outreach and to promote its product. While I love the big Monday slate, it does create some inequity in the […]

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will miss a sixth game in a row Monday versus the Knicks.

The third-year man out of Michigan has played well this season, averaging 20.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists, the highest marks of his career.

Jonathan Isaac Continues To Battle Hamstring Injury

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's clash with the Timberwolves. The injury-prone forward will sit out a ninth game in a row with a right hamstring strain. With Orlando short of options, Caleb Houstan started the last game against Atlanta, and Chuma Okeke has also recently seen a […]

Joe Ingles Still Out On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) has been ruled out for a 12th consecutive game ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Minnesota. He's nearing a month-long absence, having last played on Dec. 15 against Boston. Caleb Houstan has received a larger role in the rotation without Ingles and even started Sunday versus Atlanta with Franz Wagner […]

Gary Harris Remains Unavailable Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Tuesday against Minnesota. The veteran strained his right calf a week ago and still needs more time off to be able to play again. With Harris out, Cole Anthony has logged over 30 minutes in back-to-back games. He's done a good job […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Be Sidelined On Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is set to miss his third consecutive game with right knee tendinitis. The 24-year-old has unfortunately been plagued with injury after injury and hasn't been able to reach his true potential. This is going to be his 24th missed game so far this season which already takes him […]

Franz Wagner Ruled Out Again For Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Michigan product sprained his ankle on January 3 against the Sacramento Kings when he was only five minutes into the game. They've […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds and Weekly Planner: Week 12 (1/8-1/14)

The injuries are piling up and therefore the waiver wire is getting thinner and thinner when it comes to finding players to add who can make an impact for your team. Does that mean you should just "churn and burn" players through streaming? Maybe, but some leagues have pretty tight restrictions on how many player […]

Markelle Fultz Available On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is great news after Fultz has missed most of the season due to a lingering knee issue. In fact, Fultz has only played in five games this season, but appears ready to go now. The expectation is that […]

Caleb Houstan Starting On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Caleb Houstan will move into the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite Anthony Black (illness) and Markelle Fultz (knee) being available, Houstan will get the starting nod on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't jump to the waiver wire considering Houstan hasn't done much on the court lately. However, […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Unavailable On Sunday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a lingering knee issue. His absence should mean increased playing time for Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner. Between the two, Bitadze is the […]

Franz Wagner Out Again On Sunday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is out again for Sunday's game against Atlanta. The 22-year-old tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's double-overtime meeting with the Sacramento Kings and didn't play on Friday versus Denver. Chuma Okeke got the start in his place, finishing with seven rebounds, three points, one steal, and one block. Of course, […]

Goga Bitadze Questionable Versus Atlanta

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has been under the weather, and he missed Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) was also unavailable, so Moritz Wagner moved into the starting lineup. He played well, amassing 19 points, 11 […]

Paolo Banchero Posts First Career Triple-Double

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero pulled off a spectacular performance on Friday against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, leading his team to a 122-120 road win with his first career triple-double.
