Strikes for 21 against Philly Black chipped in 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 103-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact It was an strong bounce-back performance for Black, who has scored just 11 total points over the prior two games. The third-year guard continues to see elevated usage with a number of key Magic players on the shelf, including Jalen Suggs (knee), and Black has started 15 straight contests, averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over that period.

Struggles with shot in win Black provided five points (2-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime win over the Nets.

Impact Black has been struggling over the past two games, going 5-for-21 from the floor and 1-for-9 from distance. The third-year guard has hit a rough patch, but he was playing well enough before this cold streak to justify holding in standard formats.

Inefficient in loss Black supplied six points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to Washington.

Impact Black and the rest of Orlando's starters did not play in the fourth quarter after the team fell behind by as many as 26 points. Head coach Jamahl Mosley stuck with the bench unit as they mounted a comeback that ultimately fell short. The 21-year-old guard logged just 20 minutes, his second-lowest total of the season and lowest since Nov. 14. It wasn't his cleanest performance when he did play, shooting just 30 percent from the field and tying a team high four turnovers. Black and the other Magic starters will have a chance to bounce back on Wednesday against the Nets.

Impact Black recorded his second double-double of the season Sunday (and third of his career), with his 10 assists marking a career high. He is the fifth player age-21 or younger in Magic franchise history with a 25/10 game, and the third-year guard is in line for an even larger workload in the short term while Jalen Suggs (knee) is sidelined. In the 12 games since entering the starting lineup Dec. 9, Black has averaged 21.2 points, 5.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.1 minutes per game.

Impact Black came out firing after halftime, scoring 16 of his game-high 27 points in the third quarter.

Black has been on a tear of late and has reached the 20-point mark in five of his previous six outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 24.1 points per game.
