Which struggling blue blood presents betting value for March Madness title run?

Inefficient against Detroit Suggs racked up two points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 108-106 victory over Detroit.

Impact Suggs posted his second-highest scoring total of the season during Orlando's final game before the All-Star break with 24 points against Toronto, but he was much less effective during Thursday's narrow win. He's been held to single-digit scoring totals in three of his last six appearances and has averaged 9.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game during that time.

Prolific scorer off bench Suggs ended Tuesday's 123-113 loss to Toronto with 24 points (9-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes.

Impact Although Suggs came off the bench for a third consecutive game Tuesday, he posted his second-highest scoring total of the season during the loss. However, part of his increased production may have been due to the fact that Cole Anthony (wrist) was unavailable for a second consecutive game. Over Suggs' five appearances since returning from a one-game suspension, he's averaged 11.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.6 minutes per game.

Erupts in defensive categories Suggs finished Saturday's 107-103 overtime loss to the Heat with 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four steals, three blocks and two assists in 28 minutes.

Impact While the scoring total tied Suggs' best mark since he returned from a five-week absence in early January due to an ankle injury, his huge production in the defensive categories was the bigger takeaway from his fantasy line. Considering that Suggs had accrued just three blocks in total in his first 17 games back from injury before Saturday, his output in that category can safely be viewed as an outlier, but the second-year guard looks like he'll be a strong source of steals. With his ankle injury further in the rear-view mirror and his play improving, Suggs has earned 20-plus minutes in four of his five appearances in February and has turned in three games of at least three steals during that stretch.

Nabs starting nod Thursday Suggs will start Thursday's game versus the Nuggets, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Impact Suggs gets a look with the starting unit in place of Gary Harris (groin), who will sit out. The second-year guard started 13 games early in the season and averaged 12.6 points, 5.5 assists, 3.4 boards and 1.5 steals over 29.0 minutes per game, but that came as the primary point guard. That's unlikely to be the case Monday with Markelle Fultz healthy and starting, so expectations should be tempered.

Bamba, Rivers, Suggs all suspended after Magic-Wolves dustup

The NBA has suspended Orlando’s Mo Bamba for four games and Minnesota’s Austin Rivers for three games for their roles in an on-court altercation on Friday night

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • Associated Press

Handed one-game ban The NBA announced Saturday that Suggs has received a one-game suspension without pay for his role in an on-court altercation that occurred in Friday's 127-120 win over the Timberwo...

Impact Suggs was one of three players suspended as a result of the incident that occurred with 1:32 remaining in third quarter of Friday's contest. The altercation occurred when the Timberwolves' Austin Rivers verbally addressed the Magic's Mo Bamba, who left the bench and threw punches. Rivers retaliated by throwing punches of his own, and the NBA determined that Suggs escalated the altercation by "aggressively grabbing" Rivers around the neck and pulling him to the floor. Bamba and Rivers received four- and three-game bans, respectively, and Suggs will join Bamba in street clothes for Sunday's contest in Charlotte. Suggs will return to action against the Knicks on Tuesday, when the Magic open a three-game week.

Fight between Magic, Timberwolves leads to 5 players ejected

A fight broke out and punches were thrown during the game between the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • Associated Press

Ejected Friday vs. Minnesota Suggs was one of five players ejected Friday against Minnesota.

Impact Mo Bamba and Austin Rivers got into an altercation, which drew several other players into the madness. Fortunately for Suggs and his fantasy managers, he did not throw any punches and will likely avoid a suspension. He fared well in his 15 minutes, scoring 10 points with three assists, two rebounds, three steals and two three-pointers.

Wolves vs. Magic preview: A homecoming for Jalen Suggs The Minnehaha Academy product was the fifth overall pick in last year's draft.

Career-high five steals off bench Suggs logged 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and career-high five steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 105-94 loss to the 76ers.

Impact It was a big night on the defensive end for Suggs, who had only five steals in his prior seven games combined. The second-year point guard has played 20 or more minutes in three straight games, the first time he's seen that kind of consistent workload since he injured his ankle in late November and ceded the starting role to Markelle Fultz. As yet, however, Suggs' production doesn't put him on the radar in shallowed fantasy formats.

Poor production continues in loss Suggs supplied three points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals in 17 minutes during Friday's 110-105 loss to Miami.

Impact Suggs continues to work his way back from injury, playing a modest role off the bench once again. Despite potentially being a long-term starter for the Magic, they are playing it very carefully when it comes to easing him back. Until we see him playing at least 26 minutes, he can be left on waivers in all standard leagues.

Will play Friday Coach Jamahl Mosley said Suggs (ankle) is "good to go" for Friday's game versus Utah, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Suggs has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite a right ankle injury. The second-year guard will continue to come off the bench, where he has averaged 6.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 14.0 minutes across his last four appearances.

Jalen Suggs questionable with ankle soreness for Magic's game at Jazz Jalen Suggs has missed 24 games so far this season because of right-ankle injuries.

Questionable against Utah Suggs is questionable for Friday's game versus the Jazz due to right ankle soreness.

Impact Suggs is questionable Friday due to a lingering ankle injury. He has seen limited minutes while coming off the bench in his last four appearances. If he can't suit up against the Jazz, Suggs' next chance to play is Sunday's matchup against Denver.

Ups playing time in loss Suggs finished Monday's 136-111 loss to the Kings with 14 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes.

Impact Suggs continues to work his way back from injury, logging 24 minutes in the loss. While his production was certainly not spectacular, we are seeing progression as opposed to regression. The Magic basically have a full complement of guards right now, making playing time hard to come by. While Suggs may very well be their long-term option alongside Markelle Fultz, it appears as though they are going to run with Gary Harris as the starter, at least for the time being. Until he affirms himself as the primary off-guard, Suggs should be viewed as a bit of a luxury stash, especially in highly competitive leagues.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets five minutes in return Suggs (ankle) played five minutes off the bench and finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact After Suggs sat out each of the Magic's previous 19 games with a sore right ankle, he was expected to handle only a light role Thursday, but he ended up having an even stricter limit than anticipated. Unless the Magic reveal that Suggs suffered a setback during his limited time on the court Thursday, expect his minutes to gradually ramp up over the course of the next several games. Once he's free of a restriction, Suggs could reclaim a spot in the Magic's starting backcourt next to Markelle Fultz.
