Cole Anthony - Non-exisitent again Friday Anthony supplied two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Friday's 124-115 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Anthony vanished in the loss, scoring fewer than 10 points for the fourth time in the past five games. He is one of the most inconsistent players around, with his overall value typically reliant on whether his shot is falling. Given the lack of upside, there is no reason to hold him outside of very deep formats.

Jalen Suggs - Struggles in loss Friday Suggs logged eight points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 124-115 loss to Charlotte.
Impact Suggs was a non-factor in the loss, outplayed by Markelle Fultz on both ends of the floor. Despite being a must-roster player for the majority of the season, Suggs' fantasy ceiling remains limited. With very little room to move in terms of upside, he is not someone who needs to be prioritized down the stretch.

Markelle Fultz - Improved performance in loss Fultz provided 15 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 124-115 loss to Charlotte.
Impact Fultz logged at least 30 minutes for the first time in more than two months, an encouraging sign given his season thus far. While this could very well be a step in the right direction, managers would need to see him doing this for a prolonged period before adding him in standard formats. At this point, it is simply a wait-and-see situation.

Jonathan Isaac - Doesn't see the floor Isaac (back spasms) didn't play in Friday's 124-115 loss to Charlotte.
Impact Isaac was added to the injury report roughly 30 minutes before tipoff, but he was deemed available. However, the Magic opted to err on the side of caution, and coach Jamahl Mosley said it's something the team will keep monitoring, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Isaac should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Gary Harris - Fails to score Wednesday Harris provided zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 win over the Pelicans.
Impact Harris did a great job of providing nothing despite significant playing time, failing to score in 30 minutes. While he does provide the Magic with a veteran backcourt piece, Harris is no longer a viable fantasy asset, outside of deeper formats. Add to that the fact he routinely sits out due to injury management, and there is no reason to think his production will increase moving forward.

Markelle Fultz - Muted role continues in win Fultz racked up five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 win over the Pelicans.
Impact Fultz managed just 15 minutes in the win, continuing to play as a depth piece in the backcourt. After dealing with a knee injury for much of the season, Fultz has been unable to maintain a steady role. The Magic have outperformed expectations and given they have been able to do it without Fultz on the floor, there is no reason to think his minutes will increase anytime soon.
APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Ingles - Limited in bench role Ingles chipped in four points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 win over the Pelicans.
Impact Ingles continues to play limited minutes off the bench, logging fewer than 20 minutes for the 10th time in the past 11 games. Despite a relatively healthy season, Ingles currently sits as the 303rd-ranked player in standard leagues, leaving him a non-factor in just about every format.
