Fantasy Impact: Anthony is likely to miss a sixth straight game. Cory Joseph and Anthony Black will continue to see more run in his absence.

Paolo Banchero scored 35 points (13-31 FG, 1-5 3PT, 8-12 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in the Orlando Magic's 101-92 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact: Banchero notched his fourth double-double in March while extending his streak of 30+ point games to five. Over that span, he's tied for second in the NBA in scoring. He is an elite fantasy option down the stretch.

Franz Wagner posted 20 points (8-21 FG, 0-5 3PT, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in the Orlando Magic's 101-92 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact: Wagner fell one rebound short of his first double-double in March but extended his streak of 20+ point performances to six games. He remains a must-start option for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Anthony Black scored 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with three rebounds, three assists and two blocks in the Orlando Magic's 101-92 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact: Black continues to capitalize on his extended playing time with Cole Anthony (toe) sidelined. Over his last four games, he's averaging 16 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 blocks. As long as Anthony remains out, Black is worth considering in DFS and season-long leagues.

Caleb Houstan scored 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3P) in the Magic's 111-104 win over the Hornets on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Curiously, Houstan failed to record a stat of any kind other than points and personal fouls despite playing for 23 minutes. He's not someone we should be looking to play, especially at this stage of the season, so just let him do his thing while on the waiver wire.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored just three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3P) with two rebounds and an assist in the Magic's 111-104 win over Charlotte on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: KCP has this type of game from time to time. It just stinks if you start him for one of those games. He's actually not been bad so far in March, with 7 of 11 games with 10+ points and two more with 9. He should continue to be a low-end play as the season comes to a close.

Fantasy Impact: An ankle injury left Queen sidelined on Monday, but the team has cleared him to make his return to the lineup on Tuesday. He isn't likely to see enough work to be fantasy relevant against the Hornets.

Wendell Carter Jr. scored 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3PT) to go along with 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in the 120-105 win for the Magic over the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact: Carter recorded his second double-double in three games. His production has remained limited for most of March.

Goga Bitadze scored 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-6 FT) and grabbed eight rebounds in Wednesday's 116-108 loss to the Houston Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: The big man saw just 23 minutes of action on Wednesday, but that didn't stop him from putting forth a great performance against the Magic. He scored 19 points on just two missed shots and fell just two rebounds shy of logging a double-double. He won't continue to produce this well on a game-to-game basis in the future, however.

Cory Joseph is in the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: Joseph will draw his fourth straight start in the absence of Cole Anthony. His fantasy upside remains limited even in a starting role.

Fantasy Impact: Isaac rejoins Orlando’s lineup post-illness, bringing his modest averages of 2.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 13.5 minutes across six games since the All-Star break. His limited role keeps him off most fantasy radars, but deeper-league managers might note his rebounding and defensive potential against the Bucks. He’s back, though impact remains light.

Jalen Suggs has undergone his arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee and will be out for the remainder of the season. (Source: Josh Robbins on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This had been the expectation when it was announced Suggs had to undergo surgery and would be sidelined indefinitely. Suggs had been dealing with both quad and knee injuries.

Gary Harris (hamstring) is good to go for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Harris is set to make his return to the lineup on Saturday after missing Thursday's game due injury management for his hamstring. He should play at full capacity and will see more work than usual with Jalen Suggs (quad) expected to remain out for Orlando.

Tristan da Silva scored 7 points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3P, 2-2 FT) with two rebounds and a block in the Magic's 112-90 loss to the Nuggets on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: de Silva did not have a great night off of the bench, but his 25% hit rate from three was surprisingly nearly 10 percentage points higher than the Magic's three-point percentage as a whole. It was an awful shooting night by the team, and they will look to get back on track sooner than later. As for de Silva, he's a desperation start at best and is best left on waivers.

Jett Howard (ankle) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. (Source: Orlando Magic PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Howard has been out for the last five games because of an ankle injury, but the team has cleared him to make his return to the lineup on Thursday. Franz Wagner (conditioning) is also set to make his return to the rotation, so fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for Howard for the foreseeable future.
