Noah Penda - Records career high four steals Penda supplied 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Penda played the entire fourth quarter and a career-high 27 minutes as head coach Jahmal Mosley opted to stay with the bench unit after they staged a strong comeback attempt from a 26-point deficit. The 2025 second-round pick notched his fourth game with 10 or more points while setting a career high with four swipes. Penda has bounced between Orlando and the G League this season, but has been impressive in the five games in the NBA where he's logged at least 20 minutes, averaging 10.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.9 blocks across 24 minutes per game.

Wendell Carter Jr. - Season low scoring output in loss Carter provided two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Carter and the rest of Orlando's starters did not play in the fourth quarter, as head coach Jahmal Mosley stuck with the bench unit, which nearly erased a 26-point deficit with a valiant comeback attempt. The 26-year-old big man chipped in a season low two points, and his 20 minutes marked his lowest in a game since Oct. 29. Carter will have an opportunity for a quick bounce-back performance on Wednesday against the Nets.

Tre Johnson - Records career high five assists Johnson ended with six points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Magic.

Impact Johnson started for the third consecutive game on Tuesday and dished out a career-high five assists in the win. The rookie failed to connect from deep for just the fifth time in 28 games this season, but helped offset it with his activity on the defensive end, recording his third game with multiple steals. It snapped a seven-game streak scoring in double figures for the sharpshooter. Johnson has played at least 20 minutes in 15 of the past 17 games, averaging 11.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.0 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.8 minutes per game during that span.

Impact Champagnie continues to be impactful on both ends of the court, drilling a season-high four threes and swatting two shots for the second straight game. The 24-year-old forward missed just one shot in the contest and continues to see steady run with Kyshawn George (hip) sidelined, playing 20-plus minutes in five of the past six games and scoring in double figures in five of those outings. He's averaging 12.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.7 threes and 1.3 blocks across 25 minutes per game during that stretch.

Anthony Black - 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.

Paolo Banchero - Sits out fourth quarter in loss Banchero ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Banchero played just seven minutes in the second half and did not see the floor in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Wizards. Orlando erased a 26-point deficit with the bench unit in the game, prompting head coach Jamahl Mosley to ride the hot hand and limit Banchero and other starters' minutes down the stretch. It marked the 23-year-old forward's fewest minutes in a game since one of his first games back from an early-season groin injury on Dec. 7. He entered Tuesday with strong numbers over the past four games, averaging 27.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 36 minutes per game.
