Goga Bitadze - Could return Friday Bitadze (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Bitadze was unable to play against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday due to a left knee strain, but the seventh-year center has a chance to return for Friday's contest. Jonathan Isaac would likely see a slight downtick in minutes off the bench if Bitadze is given the green light to play.

Tristan da Silva - Upgrades to probable Friday Da Silva (shoulder) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Da Silva has missed the Magic's last four games due to a right shoulder contusion, but it appears the second-year forward is trending toward making his return Friday. He averaged 23.2 minutes per game prior to his injury, so his return would into the playing time of Jett Howard, Noah Penda and Jonathan Isaac.

Moritz Wagner - Won't play Boxing Day Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Wagner continues to progress in his recovery from a procedure in December of 2024 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. He has been ramping up his practice activity in the G League with the Osceola Magic, but he's not quite ready to make his 2025-26 regular-season debut.

Franz Wagner - Not ready to return Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Wagner was diagnosed with a left high-ankle sprain in early December, which typically carries a recovery timeline of 2-to-4 weeks. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to return Friday, so his next chance to play is Saturday against the Nuggets.

20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Suggs - Unlikely to play Friday Suggs (hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Suggs is trending toward missing a fifth consecutive game due to a left hip contusion. Tyus Jones will likely remain in the Magic's starting lineup for as long as Suggs is sidelined. Friday's game is the first leg of Orlando's back-to-back set, so if Suggs is ruled out versus Charlotte, his next opportunity to play would be Saturday against Denver.

Magic vs. Hornets Prediction, Odds, Picks - Dec. 26

Tyus Jones - Posts 16 points in starting role Jones racked up 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although Jones' results have been poor as Orlando's replacement floor general, he came through with a season-high seven assists and was effective in the narrow win. His 16 points were only the second time he's logged a double-digit scoring total this season, and although he may have a few more starts in his future, he will likely fail to register a fantasy-worthy total.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Black - 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.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Desmond Bane - Excellent on both sides in win Bane notched 23 points (6-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Bane added three blocks and three steals to a productive offensive result in Tuesday's win. He was especially effective in the closing minutes, swatting a key shot as the Trail Blazers tried to hold onto a slim lead. Bane got the help he needed from the rest of the squad after an uninspired loss Monday night to the Warriors. With two of the year's final four games against the Pacers and Hornets, Bane should be able to finish 2025 strong against a couple of weak opponents.

Jonathan Isaac - Green light to play Tuesday Isaac (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Isaac has recently been working through a left hip contusion, but the veteran forward has been cleared to play in Tuesday's road contest. In seven outings since Dec. 1, he has averaged 2.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.6 blocks over 10.9 minutes per game, but Isaac could take on a larger role against Portland due to the absences of Goga Bitadze (knee), Franz Wagner (ankle) and Tristan da Silva (shoulder.

Tristan da Silva - Ruled out Tuesday Da Silva (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Da Silva will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right shoulder contusion, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Friday against the Hornets. With the second-year forward remaining on the shelf, Noah Penda and Jett Howard will likely continue to see increased playing time.

Goga Bitadze - Won't play vs. Portland Bitadze (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Bitadze will sit for the back end of the Magic's back-to-back set Tuesday due to a left knee strain, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against the Hornets. Orlando Robinson and Jett Howard are in line for more minutes due to Bitadze, Franz Wagner (ankle) and Tristan da Silva (shoulder) all being sidelined.

Tristan da Silva - Listed as questionable Da Silva (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Da Silva has missed the past three games for Orlando, but he remains day-to-day. Jett Howard and Noah Penda could pick up some minutes if da Silva is unable to give it a go.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Goga Bitadze - Iffy for Tuesday Bitadze is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers with a strained left knee.

Impact Fantasy managers can expect the Magic to determine Bitadze's status closer to Tuesday's tipoff. Should the big man be unable to suit up, Orlando Robinson would have the backup center job all to himself.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Suggs - Out again Tuesday Suggs (hip) won't play Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Suggs will miss his fourth straight contest Tuesday, and the guard remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Friday against Charlotte. Anthony Black is likely to soak up the bulk of the point guard reps once again.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Isaac - Questionable for Tuesday Isaac is questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland with a left hip contusion.

Impact The forward is likely to go through pregame warmups before the Magic decide on his final status. If Isaac can't play, more playing time will become available for Jett Howard in the frontcourt.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jase Richardson - Notches 11 points Richardson notched 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 120-97 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Richardson's involvement is on the rise, though he's mostly just a deep-league fantasy asset for now. Over his last four outings, Richardson has averaged 9.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per contest.
