Impact Caldwell-Pope has had a very up-and-down season with the Magic. He's found it difficult to consistently make an offensive impact, averaging 8.7 points per game, the second-worst average of his career, dating back to his rookie season.

Sinks 12 free throws Saturday Caldwell-Pope racked up 24 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-12 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 victory over Miami.

Impact Caldwell-Pope went perfect from the charity stripe and recorded 50 percent of his total scoring haul via free throws, as the veteran played a significant role in Orlando's impressive comeback victory. The Magic were extremely shorthanded in this game since they were missing several key contributors, such as Jalen Suggs (ankle), Paolo Banchero (oblique) and Franz Wagner (oblique), but Caldwell-Pope, a 12-year veteran, came through when the Magic needed him the most. Caldwell-Pope could enjoy a sizable uptick in his usage rate going forward, especially if Suggs is forced to miss an extended period.

Scores just four points Caldwell-Pope supplied four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 100-91 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Caldwell-Pope's low usage rate could be frustrating for his fantasy managers, especially with Franz Wagner (oblique) and Paolo Banchero (oblique) sidelined. He's been ice cold in December, posting averages of 7.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 38.5 percent shooting over his last seven games.

Busy night defensively in win Caldwell-Pope ended Wednesday's 106-102 victory over the 76ers with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and five steals over 32 minutes.

Impact Caldwell-Pope collected a season-high five steals Wednesday, though he's been no stranger to racking up swipes for the Magic this season, picking up at least four of them in four games of his 23 games thus far. The 31-year-old veteran swingman has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option with a limited three-and-D role on offense in his first year in Orlando, but he's heating up over his past five outings, averaging 15.0 points, 2.6 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 31.2 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from beyond the arc. Caldwell-Pope's value is generally limited to triples and steals, but he's worth a look on waiver wires for those areas while he's running hot.

Scores season-high 24 points Caldwell-Pope closed Wednesday's 133-119 victory over Chicago with 24 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and four steals across 34 minutes.

Impact Caldwell-Pope delivered his best performance of the season Wednesday -- and by a wide margin. The veteran has had significant shooting struggles all season long, but he surpassed the 10-point mark for the first time since Nov. 6 with an efficient display that included a season-high six threes made. The Magic could use Caldwell-Pope's shooting prowess from the backcourt, though. The veteran is shooting a mere 37.1 percent from the field, including 26.7 percent from three-point range, this season.

Off injury report for Saturday Caldwell-Pope (personal) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Pistons.

Impact Caldwell-Pope will return to game action after a one-game absence. In the 31-year-old's last five outings, he has averaged 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 38.2 percent from the field across 31.2 minutes per game.

Won't play Thursday Caldwell-Pope is out for Thursday's game versus the Lakers due to personal reasons.

Impact Caldwell-Pope will miss his first game of the season Thursday due to personal reasons. Cole Anthony, Gary Harris and Anthony Black are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Caldwell-Pope's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Detroit.

Another tepid line in loss Caldwell-Pope posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 104-93 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Caldwell-Pope continued to have trouble finding the bottom of the basket in the loss, and it's a very troubling trend for the veteran. He's shooting a measly 33.9 percent from the floor and an even worse 22.9 percent from deep over 16 games, falling well short of previous seasonal averages. The trade for the veteran has yielded few advantages to begin the season, and he'll need a turnaround to keep a role with the first unit.

Shooting woes continue Caldwell-Pope supplied six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and three assists across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 114-89 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Caldwell-Pope hasn't been able to step up with Paolo Banchero (oblique) sidelined, and the veteran guard has struggled massively with his shot from three-point range. In other words, his offensive contributions are minimal when he's not knocking down shots from beyond the arc. Through 12 games this season, Caldwell-Pope is averaging just 6.8 points per game while shooting a woeful 20.8 percent from deep.

Delivers four steals in loss Caldwell-Pope contributed six points (1-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 102-86 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Caldwell-Pope continues to be a non-factor on the offensive end, although once again chipped in decent defensive contributions. The Magic signed Caldwell-Pope during the offseason to bolster their perimeter scoring while adding to their already strong defensive presence. To this point, he has somewhat lived up to expectations on the defensive end. As for the offensive end, they would love for him to show a little more aggression.

Strong defensive effort Caldwell-Pope contributed 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 116-101 victory over the Nets.

Impact Caldwell-Pope tallied four combined defensive stats, a welcome sight for anyone rostering him in competitive leagues. It appears as though he is going to play a crucial role for his new team, albeit one with very little offensive upside. He is worth holding for another game or two but given what we have seen thus far, he is likely to spend a lot of time on and off the waiver wire moving forward.
