Hits for 22 points in win Black produced 22 points (8-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact It's unclear how long Black's run of production will last, but the eventual returns of Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (hip) will obviously have an adverse effect on his fantasy value. The increase for Black is easy to view, as he's averaged 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steals over six games since joining the first unit.

Stays in the mix during defeat Black registered 19 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 31 minutes during Monday's 120-97 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Black will be a valuable piece of the puzzle as the team awaits the return of Jalen Suggs (hip) and Franz Wagner (ankle). The Arkansas product is on pace to crush his previous season averages over his previous two years in Orlando, averaging 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals over 29 games this season.

Continues steady production in win Black closed Saturday's 128-127 overtime win over the Jazz with 20 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 40 minutes.

Impact Jalen Suggs' (hip) absence has allowed Black to log four consecutive starts, and his standout production might summon an adjustment in the rotation upon Suggs' return. Franz Wagner's return is still at least a week away, so the team could conceivably run with Suggs and Black in the backcourt and shift Desmond Bane to the wing, a position where he is usually comfortable.

Offensive effort in loss Black finished Thursday's 126-115 loss to the Nuggets with 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes.

Impact Black had a subpar outing in terms of rebounds but notched his best scoring tally since Nov. 25 while making his third consecutive start. The young guard has been given a more meaningful role in the absence of Franz Wagner (ankle), and that could continue to be the case for a few more games, so Black will have a chance to keep improving on his season numbers of 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 29.0 minutes per game.

Joining starting lineup Black is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Franz Wagner is likely to miss multiple weeks due to a high-ankle sprain, so Black could have a fairly lengthy stay in the first unit. Black has averaged 15.0 points, 3.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 31.6 minutes per contest across four games as a starter this season.

Double-double off bench Black provided 14 points (6-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block across 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 106-100 loss to New York.

Impact The third-year guard produced his first double-double of the season and the second of his career, as he continues to fill a key role in the Orlando backcourt. Over the last 11 games (two starts), Black has averaged 16.3 points, 5.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 threes in 30.8 minutes a contest, but he could get a more consistent look in the starting five if Jalen Suggs (leg) winds up missing significant time after leaving Sunday's game early.

Grabs seven boards vs. San Antonio Black posted seven points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes during the Magic's 114-112 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.

Impact Black entered Wednesday's game having averaged 23.0 points on 53.1 percent shooting over his three prior outings. He wasn't able to carry that efficiency into Wednesday's contest, but he was active on the boards with seven rebounds, which was second most on the Magic behind Wendell Carter (nine). Black continues to play heavy minutes off the bench even with Jalen Suggs' minutes steadily increasing over the course of the regular season. Over his last 10 appearances, Black has averaged 15.4 points, 3.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 threes over 29.4 minutes per game.

Nets 22 points with full line Black contributed 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Monday's 125-120 victory over Chicago.

Impact Black got off to a slow start offensively in this one, contributing just four points on 1-for-4 shooting through the first half of action, but he completely flipped the script after halftime. His defense kept him in the game, and he finished with a stupendous plus/minus rating of plus-25. Black has been in a nice groove over the past eight games, posting averages of 18.1 points, 3.6 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.9 steals per contest.

Scores 16 points in win Black produced 16 points (6-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 112-109 victory over Detroit.

Impact Black was unable to repeat the 31-point performance he delivered in the win over the 76ers on Tuesday. However, he still posted a solid overall line while recording at least three tallies in four of the five major categories. Black has been trending in the right direction of late and has scored in double digits in his last seven outings, averaging 17.6 points per game in that stretch.
