Impact Isaac injured his hamstring against the Pelicans but is expected to suit up Sunday. If he's upgraded to available, Isaac should continue to operate as a bench option in Orlando's forward rotation.

9-7 · 4TH IN EASTERN CONFERENCE
Jonathan Isaac - Expected to play Sunday Isaac (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Wizards.
Wendell Carter Jr. - Another absence coming Carter (foot) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Wizards.
Impact Carter is set to miss his fourth straight contest Sunday due to left foot plantar fasciitis. Goga Bitadze will likely draw another start in his absence. Carter's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Charlotte.

Moritz Wagner - Productive off bench Friday Wagner finished Friday's 115-88 win over the Pelicans with 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes.
Impact Wagner delivered more points than Goga Bitadze, who was the starting center in Friday's win, but it's unclear if that will be enough to steal the starting job away from the 25-year-old. Wagner has been productive as a scorer and has recorded double-digit points in four of his last five appearances, shooting 51.2 percent from the field in that span.

Goga Bitadze - Fills stat sheet Friday Bitadze supplied 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 115-88 win over the Pelicans.
Impact Bitadze finished just one rebound shy of recording a second consecutive double-double. The big man is making the most of his newfound role in the first unit, scoring in double digits and grabbing at least nine boards in his three starts. He should remain in that role due to the fitness issues of players such as Wendell Carter (foot), Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) and Paolo Banchero (oblique) that are depleting the frontcourt.

Franz Wagner - Goes for 27 points in win Friday Wagner notched 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 115-88 win over New Orleans.
Impact Wagner has been tasked with handling a bigger role on offense due to the absence of Paolo Banchero (oblique), and he's stepping up when called upon duty. Wagner has scored at least 22 points in his last three appearances, in which he's shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from three. Expect Wagner to remain the Magic's go-to player on offense as long as Banchero remains out, which should be a few more weeks in a best-case scenario.

Jonathan Isaac - Questionable to return Isaac is considered questionable to return to Friday's game versus the Pelicans due to right hamstring tightness.
Impact Isaac compiled 10 points (4-4 FG) and two rebounds across nine minutes before leaving the game. In his absence, Tristan da Silva could see increased minutes at power forward, while Moritz Wagner would also be a candidate for more run.

Wendell Carter Jr. - Remains out for Friday Carter (foot) will remain out for Friday's game against New Orleans.
Impact Carter will now miss his third consecutive game due to his foot injury, and fourth out of the last five overall. Carter's next opportunity to return will be Sunday against the Wizards, but while he is sidelined Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze will have an increased role as the team's big men.
