Magic's Goga Bitadze: Second straight double-double
Bitadze finished Friday's 127-103 win over Chicago with 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 17 minutes.
Bitadze recorded his second straight double-double, taking advantage of a shorthanded opponent. Although it has been a nice stretch for Bitadze, there is no reason to suspect his role is likely to change moving forward. He should continue to serve as the primary backup behind Wendell Carter, typically playing no more than about 15 minutes per game.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Massive double-double in win
Bitadze registered 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 win over the Timberwolves.
Bitadze took advantage of the fact that the Timberwolves were without Julius Randle (hand) and Rudy Gobert (rest) to dominate the paint, and he delivered a strong double-double coming off the bench. Wendell Carter will remain the starter for the Magic, but Bitadze has proven he can deliver solid numbers when needed. He's averaging 10.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in the 10 outings in which he's logged at least 20 minutes this season.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Increased role Monday
Bitadze posted nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 123-107 victory over the Pistons.
Bitadze logged at least 20 minutes for the first time in his past 17 appearances, shifting up in the rotation after Wendell Carter was forced from the game due to a neck injury. While it has been a disappointing season for Bitadze, the final week of action could end up being his best stretch, should Carter be forced to miss additional time. Assuming that is the case, managers should view Bitadze as a strong stream candidate.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Ejected Wednesday
Bitadze was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. He'll finish with four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 15 minutes.
The big man committed a hard foul on Jock Landale (ankle) with 7:30 remaining in the final quarter and was sent to the locker room early. Bitadze recorded multiple blocks for the first time since Jan. 18 before being ejected.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Bumped back to bench
Bitadze will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Bitadze started in place of Wendell Carter on Thursday, but now that Carter is healthy, Bitadze will retreat to a reserve role. Bitadze has played eight or fewer minutes in each of his last five games as a reserve.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Starting sans Carter
Bitadze is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
Bitadze is filling in for the injured Wendell Carter (rib) on Thursday. It'll be the third start of the season for Bitadze, who has averaged 11.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 26.8 minutes per game with the first unit.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Muted role continues
Bitadze closed Monday's 124-112 loss to Atlanta with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist over five minutes.
Bitadze continues to serve as the third-string center, having seen the court only six times in the past 12 games. During that time, he has averaged just 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Exits rotation Wednesday
Bitadze (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Magic's 128-122 win over the Cavaliers.
Bitadze had seen action in each of the Magic's previous four games, but his most recent two appearances had come in garbage time at the end of blowouts. With Wednesday's contest remaining competitive throughout, Bitadze failed to get off the bench while Moritz Wagner handled all the backup center minutes behind starter Wendell Carter. So long as Carter and Wagner are available, Bitadze is unlikely to be featured in the rotation.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Moving to bench
Bitadze will come off the bench Thursday against the Mavericks.
Bitadze drew a spot start Tuesday with Wendell Carter sidelined, but Carter has been given the green light to take the court Thursday. Bitadze has struggled to remain in the rotation over the last few months, but he could see playing time Thursday given that Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Making second start of season
Bitadze is starting Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Bitadze will make his return to the rotation Tuesday after falling out of favor down the stretch of February. He figures to share time at center with Moritz Wagner after Wendell Carter was a late scratch due to ankle soreness. Bitadze has started one other game this year for Orlando, totaling 14 points, 13 rebounds, one assist, three steals and two blocks in 32 minutes Jan. 11 against New Orleans.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Exits rotation Monday
Bitadze (coach's decision) didn't play in Monday's 114-98 loss to the Cavaliers.
Before head coach Jamahl Mosley opted to remove Bitadze from the rotation entirely Monday, the seventh-year center's role already appeared to be trending down over the last handful of games once fellow center Moritz Wagner was cleared to make his season debut. Though Bitadze offers more rim protection than Wagner, the Magic may prefer the stronger offensive skill set Wagner brings to the table when starter Wendell Carter is off the court. Unless Carter ends up missing time at some point, Bitadze looks as though he may face an uphill battle to see enough minutes on a game-by-game basis to provide much of a meaningful fantasy impact.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Retreating to bench
Bitadze is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.
Wendell Carter is returning from a one-game absence with a hip injury, forcing Bitadze to the second unit. Bitadze has averaged 5.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 16.2 minutes per contest over his last seven games off the bench.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Double-double in Sunday's start
Bitadze ended Sunday's 128-118 win over the Pelicans with 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes.
With Wendell Carter (hip) ruled out, Bitadze made his first start of the season and played a season high in minutes, and he responded with his first double-double. The 26-year-old center hadn't played more than 20 minutes since Oct. 29 however, and unless Carter's injury proved to be more serious than expected, Bitadze will have a hard time following up this performance, especially with Moritz Wagner (knee) also back and looking for minutes in the frontcourt.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Starting sans Carter
Bitadze will start against the Pelicans on Sunday.
The 26-year-old center will enter the starting five for the first time this season due to Wendell Carter (hip) being sidelined. Over five outings this month, Bitadze has averaged 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 15.6 minutes per contest.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Muted performance in win
Bitadze contributed two points (1-2 FG) and two rebounds over 16 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 win over Indiana.
This was a quiet outing for Bitadze, and that's been the case for a while now. Over his last four appearances, the center has seen 16.9 minutes per contest with averages of 5.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks.
