Franz Wagner - Scores game-high 32 points in win Wagner registered 32 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 106-105 win over the Heat.
Impact Wagner had been struggling with his three-point shot in the three games prior, going just 1-for-6 from distance, but he was able to match his season-high in triples Friday night. This was Wagner's second 30-plus point performance of the season, and the Magic have now won four of their past five games.

Jalen Suggs - Scores 22 points with five dimes Suggs closed Friday's 106-105 victory over the Heat with 22 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
Impact Suggs has been hot over the past two, posting averages of 23.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 triples and 2.0 steals per game. He'll draw a tough matchup against New York on Sunday, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep his hot streak going.

Paolo Banchero - Scores nine points in return Banchero amassed nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Friday's 106-105 victory over the Heat.
Impact Banchero was a bit rusty in his first game back following a 10-game absence, but he hit some clutch shots down the stretch and finished with a plus-six differential in the one-point win. He was limited to 20 minutes Friday night, but Banchero should be cleared for more playing time Sunday in New York.

Paolo Banchero - Will be limited Friday Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Banchero (groin) will play on a minutes restriction in Friday's game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Mosley did not specify how many minutes Banchero would be limited to following his 10-game absence due to a left groin strain, though the star forward will seemingly be eased back into action. Still, his return will likely mean fewer minutes for the likes of Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Noah Penda. In his first 11 regular-season appearances, Banchero averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 34.7 minutes per contest.

Paolo Banchero - Will play Friday Banchero (groin) is available for Friday's game against the Heat, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Impact Banchero will return to action Friday and make his first appearance since Nov. 12, likely sending Tristan da Silva to a bench role. In his first 11 games this season, Banchero averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 34.7 minutes. However, the superstar forward may face some restrictions during his first game in nearly a month.

Paolo Banchero - Chance to return Friday Banchero (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Banchero hasn't played since Nov. 12 and had been limited to non-contact work as of earlier this week, but it appears he's nearing a return to game action. Even if Banchero is cleared to play Friday, he'll likely face heavy restrictions. In his first 11 games this season, Banchero has averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 stocks in 34.7 minutes.

Anthony Black - 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.

Franz Wagner - Team-high 25 points in loss Wagner logged 25 points (9-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 36 minutes during the Magic's 114-112 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.
Impact It was another efficient night from the field for Wagner on Wednesday, as he finished as the Magic's leading scorer and second in points to San Antonio's De'Aaron Fox (31). Wagner had a chance to send the game to overtime, but his last-second layup attempt was blocked by Luke Kornet. In the Magic's last 10 games -- corresponding with the absence of Paolo Banchero (groin) -- Wagner has averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 33.9 minutes per game.

Jase Richardson - Puts up eight points in loss Richardson ended Wednesday's 114-112 loss to the Spurs with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes.
Impact Richardson seems to have moved up in the depth chart, playing in at least 10 minutes in his last three games and averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 threes in that span. Time will tell if this role boost will last, but Richardson is definitely worth monitoring in deeper leagues, especially if an injury were to occur to Orlando's backcourt.

Goga Bitadze - All-around effort in loss Bitadze accumulated eight points (4-4 FG), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-112 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Bitadze has really been a big part of Orlando's defense, posting a steal and a block in each of his last five games and in seven of his last eight. Bitadze averages 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 blocks across 16.9 minutes this season, making him an elite blocks specialist with potential to contribute in the points and rebounds categories as well.
