Jalen Suggs gives Magic a spark in his return to the lineupOne of the Magic's young players who has had to overcome a lot on and off the court, second-year guard Jalen Suggs returned on Sunday after...
Cole Anthony - Scores team-high 21 pointsAnthony logged 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 119-106 win over the Nets.
ImpactAnthony was efficient from the field en route to a team-high 21 points, marking his third 20-plus-point came in March (13 appearances). During that stretch, the third-year guard has averaged 16.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.8 steals in 28.7 minutes.

Franz Wagner - Posts double-double in winWagner (ankle) had 19 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-106 win over Brooklyn.
ImpactWagner was questionable for Sunday's contest after spraining his ankle during the second half of Thursday's win over New York, but the second-year forward was cleared and didn't show any limitations en route to his second double0double over his past six appearances. During that stretch, Wagner has averaged 18.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.7 minutes per game.

Markelle Fultz - Flirts with double-doubleFultz recorded 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-106 victory over the Nets.
ImpactFultz struggled with his efficiency for a second straight game, but he was still able to extend his double-digit scoring streak to 11 games and missed out on his second double-double during that stretch by one assist. The 2017 No. 1 overall pick was a bit inconsistent during his return to action to begin December, but he's arguably been playing the best ball of his career lately, posting 16.1 points, 6.0 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals with 51/23/88 shooting splits over his last 25 appearances.

Patty Mills - Plays 16 minutes in lossMills finished Sunday's 119-106 loss to the Magic with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two assists over 16 minutes.
ImpactWith Seth Curry (personal) and Royce O'Neale (rest) sidelined, Mills saw his first game action since March 9. However, the veteran wasn't all that aggressive and failed to make a major impact as the Nets dropped a disappointing game to Orlando. Mills has made just three appearances since Feb. 11, so he can safely be ignored in most fantasy formats, especially if O'Neale is back in action for Brooklyn moving forward.

Cam Thomas - Scores 18 points off benchThomas ended with 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-106 loss to the Magic.
ImpactWith Seth Curry (personal) and Royce O'Neale (rest) out, Thomas saw an increased role and made the most of his opportunity. The second-year guard is certainly capable of explosive offensive outings, but his role is too sporadic to be trusted on a daily basis. When he's played over 20 minutes this season (24 games), Thomas has averaged 19.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27.1 minutes with 46/40/88 shooting splits.

Nic Claxton - Blocks four shots in lossClaxton accumulated nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-106 loss to Orlando.
ImpactClaxton narrowly missed his fifth double-double of March (13 appearances), but he did block at least three shots for a seventh time during that stretch and for a third consecutive game. After being held scoreless in eight of nine matchups between the end of February and early March, the lefty center has bounced back by averaging 14.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.3 blocks over his last 10 games.
