Magic's Tristan da Silva: Posts double-double off bench
Rotowire
da Silva ended with 23 points (9-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-97 loss to the Celtics.
Following a quiet showing in Friday's 121-114 win over Toronto, da Silva erupted for his first double-double of the season on Sunday. The 23 points and 10 rebounds were season-highs for the 25-year-old, while the boards matched a career-high he recorded back in January of 2025. Orlando will continue to rely on da Silva's production off the bench while Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) remain sidelined.

Magic's Anthony Black: Season-high 23 points in defeat
Rotowire
Black closed Sunday's 108-97 loss to Boston with 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes.
Black tied Tristan da Silva for the team lead in scoring, while the former accounted for more than half of Orlando's 19 free-throw attempts in the loss. It was good to see Black attacking the rim with his three-point shot not falling, and his eight boards also represented a season high. He'll continue to be a focal point for the Magic on both sides of the ball for as long as Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) remain out.
Magic's Wendell Carter: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Carter finished with 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 121-114 win over the Raptors.
Carter has yet to record his first double-double of the season, and he ended just three boards shy of doing so Friday. He took a step forward offensively, though, as he hit the 20-point mark after scoring a combined 12 points (4-10 FG) in his previous two contests. Carter has reached the 20-point mark in three of his five appearances this season, and he should continue to benefit from an expanded offensive role due to the absences of Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee).

Magic's Desmond Bane: Drains six threes in win
Rotowire
Bane provided 28 points (8-18 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block in 39 minutes during Friday's 121-114 victory over the Raptors.
Bane had been struggling with this shot and entered Friday's slate shooting just 30.2 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three, so this was clearly a step in the right direction for the star forward. He also posted season-high marks in points and assists, and this is the kind of production fantasy managers would like to see from Bane on a regular basis. He needs to step up and take advantage of a bigger offensive role with both Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) on the sidelines.

Magic's Anthony Black: Scores 17 and adds 10 dimes
Rotowire
Black amassed 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 31 minutes during Friday's 121-114 victory over the Raptors.
Black bounced back after struggling massively in his previous start. He should continue to handle a bigger role due to the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee), and while he's not expected to average a double-double as a starter, this was clearly a step in the right direction. Black has surpassed the 15-point plateau in two of his three appearances this season.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Ends with 26 points in win
Rotowire
Wagner ended with 26 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Friday's 121-114 win over Toronto.
With Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined, Wagner stepped up to lead the Magic to their second win of the year. The 25-year-old finished with a season high in scoring while falling short of a triple-double once again. Through five regular-season games in 2026-27, Wagner is now averaging 20.8 points and 1.0 steals over 34.6 minutes per contest. He's also posting career highs in rebounds (6.8) and assists (7.0), though he's shot a rough 18.5 percent from deep and is averaging 4.6 turnovers per game.
Isaac holds no timetable for a return to an ongoing left knee injury. The oft-injured forward can be considered week-to-week until the Magic update his timeline.

Magic's Jevon Carter: Quiet showing off bench
Rotowire
Carter ended with six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and three assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to Toronto.
Carter attempted all six of his shots from beyond the arc, connecting twice while failing to register a rebound or defensive statistic. The veteran guard saw a reasonable amount of playing time off the bench but struggled to make a meaningful impact. His fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats where three-point shooting is at a premium, even with Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined indefinitely.

Magic's Jamal Cain: Notches nine points
Rotowire
Cain amassed nine points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and two steals across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to the Raptors.
Cain made the most of his opportunities at the charity stripe, converting all five attempts while contributing a pair of steals. However, the reserve forward struggled from the field and offered little production elsewhere. His limited playing time makes him a difficult fantasy option outside of deeper leagues.
Bane logged 13 points (3-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to Toronto.
Bane was coming off a 22-point performance against the Knicks on Sunday, but the veteran guard was not as efficient during Wednesday's win. He's connected on at least 39.0 percent of his three-point attempts in each of the two prior seasons, but he's gone 10-for-36 (27.8 percent) from beyond the arc through the first four games of the 2026-27 campaign. Still, Bane is expected to have a larger workload for as long as Paolo Banchero (ankle) is out of action.
Magic's Tristan da Silva: Team-high 20 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Da Silva logged 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3PT, 0-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to Toronto.
The Magic struggled on both ends of the floor Wednesday, but da Silva managed to lead his team in scoring on only 10 field-goal attempts. He's connected on at least four three-pointers in three of the first four games of the regular season and has gone 14-for-31 (45.2 percent) from beyond the arc in that span. Da Silva's production floor will continue to be elevated for as long as Paolo Banchero (ankle) is on the shelf.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Coughs ball up seven times Wednesday
Rotowire
Wagner supplied 15 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to the Raptors.
Wagner led the Magic in assists and finished second on the team in points behind Tristan da Silva (20). However, Wagner was also responsible for a season-high seven turnovers, although he's expected to have the ball in his hands more for as long as Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) are sidelined.

Magic's Anthony Black: Muted line in first start of season
Rotowire
Black accumulated eight points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to Toronto.
Black was moved into the starting lineup Wednesday due to the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee). Black averaged 16.5 points, 4.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds over 32.4 minutes per game across 40 starts during the 2025-26 season, but he failed to meet those numbers in Orlando's loss to Toronto. There will be more opportunities ahead for the 2023 first-rounder, seeing as Suggs is expected to be sidelined for at least the next two weeks.

Magic's Anthony Black: Starting sans Suggs
Rotowire
Black will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Jalen Suggs (knee) on the shelf, Black will enter the starting five for the first time this season. He'll be joined in the first unit by Jase Richardson, Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter.

Magic's Anthony Black: Will play Wednesday
Rotowire
Black (personal) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Black was listed as questionable after missing the morning shootaround for personal reasons. However, the 22-year-old guard will suit up for his second outing of the season versus the Raptors. Black has a good chance of starting with both Jalen Suggs (knee) and Paolo Banchero (ankle) sidelined for an extended period of time.
