Starting Lineups: Hornets vs. Magic The first five out on the floor for tonight’s game.
Markelle Fultz - Will not play Tuesday Fultz (rest) will not play Tuesday against Charlotte.
Impact Tuesday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the Magic will hold Fultz out to err on the side of caution with his left knee soreness. For now, the expectation is that Fultz will play Wednesday against the Wizards, but fantasy managers will need to check back for confirmation.

Markelle Fultz - Questionable for Tuesday Fultz (left knee injury maintenance) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game in Charlotte.
Impact Tuesday's game comes as the first leg of a back-to-back set, so if Fultz is cleared for that game, he'd likely skip Wednesday's game versus Washington. He's likely only going to be available for three of Orlando's four games this week, and will likely continue to have minutes restrictions, so he's a risky guy to deploy in weekly settings.

Wendell Carter Jr. - Plays well in win Carter accumulated 19 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-91 victory over Detroit.
Impact Carter is off to a strong start in March after a relatively quiet February. During those 12 games, he averaged 12.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 three-pointers, and his defense took a step back with 0.3 blocks and 0.3 steals.

Markelle Fultz - Season-high 16 points Sunday Fultz closed Sunday's 113-91 win over Detroit with 16 points (8-8 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes off the bench.
Impact It was a season high in points for Fultz in an impressive show of efficiency. The 25-year-old guard has come off the bench in four straight games while Jalen Suggs gets some run as the Magic's starting point guard, and it's not yet clear if Fultz will return to the starting five any time soon. He's averaged only 17.8 minutes in those four games since his return from knee maintenance, suggesting Orlando isn't yet ready to give him a full workload.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Paolo Banchero - Hits for 29 against Detroit Banchero closed with a game-high 29 points (10-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 113-91 victory over the Pistons.
Impact The second-year forward has shaken off the illness that cost him two games in late February, dropping 29 points in back-to-back contests. Banchero had been in a bit of a scoring slump prior to the time off, failing to score at least 20 points in four of his previous six games, but he appears to be firing on all cylinders again. Over 11 contests since the beginning of February, the 21-year-old is averaging 22.3 points, 6.2 boards, 6.1 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor.

Jonathan Isaac - Not listed on injury report Isaac (illness) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Isaac missed Tuesday's win over Brooklyn after landing awkwardly on his knee the game before, but he was on track to play Thursday versus Utah before succumbing to an illness. He practiced in full Saturday and should be good to go against Detroit. Before the knee injury, Isaac had played at least 15 minutes in six straight games, averaging 7.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals during that stretch.

Still more clarity will come once the team releases its injury report.
