Rotowire

Rotowire

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Green light to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Isaac (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Isaac has recently been working through a left hip contusion, but the veteran forward has been cleared to play in Tuesday's road contest. In seven outings since Dec. 1, he has averaged 2.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.6 blocks over 10.9 minutes per game. However, Isaac could take on a more sizable role against Portland due to the absences of Goga Bitadze (knee), Franz Wagner (ankle) and Tristan da Silva (shoulder).

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Questionable against Utah
Rotowire
Isaac is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz with a left hip contusion.
After sitting out Thursday's loss to the Nuggets, Isaac's status remains in limbo for Saturday. Tristan da Silva (shoulder) joins Isaac as a questionable mark, meaning Jett Howard could be worth streaming in shallow leagues and Jase Richardson in deeper settings if both players end up being out of action.

Rotowire

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Isaac is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a left hip contusion.
Isaac is a late addition to the injury report, which bodes poorly for his chances of playing Thursday. His status figures to come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups. With Tristan da Silva (shoulder) also questionable, Jett Howard could be thrust into a big role in the frontcourt.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Plays just 11 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Isaac recorded four points (1-1 FG, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one block over 11 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks.
Isaac has not eclipsed 20 minutes of playing time all season and has seen the court even less with the return of Paolo Banchero (groin). While Isaac is usually on the court as a defensive specialist, his lack of volume does not make him a roster candidate in most formats. However, Franz Wagner (lower leg) left this contest early, and if he misses extended time, the Magic might have no choice but to play Isaac more.

Rotowire
Isaac (back) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Late scratch Tuesday
Rotowire
Isaac won't play Tuesday against the 76ers due to back spasms.
This was a last-minute development for Isaac, who hadn't been listed on the injury report leading up to tipoff. Coach Jamahl Mosley noted in his pregame presser that Isaac felt the issue during shootaround, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. Tristan da Silva and Jett Howard could pick up a few extra minutes in Isaac's absence.
Isaac amassed nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 16 minutes during Thursday's 129-101 victory over the Clippers.
Although Paolo Banchero (groin) is without a timetable, Isaac's fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats with the team continuing to rely heavily on Tristan da Silva. In 15 appearances this season, Isaac has averaged a mere 9.9 minutes per contest.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Sees extended run with Banchero out
Rotowire
Isaac registered three points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 124-107 win over the Knicks.
Isaac tied his season high in minutes, as Paolo Banchero exited the game early due to a groin strain, though Isaac didn't make too much of an impact. The forward could see an increase in playing time, as Banchero is expected to miss some time, but Isaac typically operates under a minutes restriction, which limits his upside even in a shorthanded frontcourt.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Limited opportunities Tuesday
Rotowire
Isaac amassed two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in nine minutes during Tuesday's 127-112 loss to Atlanta.
Isaac barely saw the floor in the loss, continuing what has been a very disappointing start to the season. Although he has been largely healthy, he has seen double-digit minutes only twice through seven games. For the season, he is averaging just 2.0 points and 1.9 rebounds in 8.4 minutes per game.
