ORLANDO MAGIC 12-7 · 3RD IN EASTERN CONFERENCE
12-7 · 3RD IN EASTERN CONFERENCE
Jonathan Isaac returns to Magic starting lineup at Dallas Monday’s Magic game at Dallas marked the first time Jonathan Isaac was in Orlando’s starting five since Jan. 1, 2020 at Washington.
Jonathan Isaac - Starting Monday Isaac is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas.
Impact Isaac will make his first start since Jan.1 2020. He has been sharp defensively for Orlando this season, and joins Jalen Suggs, Fran Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter in the jumbo-lineup Monday.

Markelle Fultz - Ruled out Monday Fultz (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Fultz played 27 minutes during Sunday's win over Phoenix, posting 14 points, four assists and five steals. He'll take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set, which has been the procedure since he returned to action at the beginning of January following a lengthy absence. Anthony Black will likely draw a spot start versus Dallas.

Paolo Banchero - Carries Orlando to victory Sunday Banchero recorded 26 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 victory over the Suns.
Impact Banchero was the leading scorer for the Magic on Sunday, but he also made his presence felt as a distributor since he reached the seven-assist mark for the 10th time this season, showing a marked improvement in that category compared to his rookie year. Banchero is thriving of late and continues to make his presence felt on both ends of the court. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 21.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.7 steals per outing.

Moritz Wagner - Double-double off bench Sunday Wagner closed with 16 points (5-13 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 win over the Suns.
Impact Wagner recorded his first double-double of the season Sunday, and he did it in a tough matchup -- coming off the bench against one of the best teams in the Western Conference and dealing with a physical frontcourt. Wagner continues to find ways to produce off the bench for the Magic, and he has scored in double digits in each of his last three appearances despite not playing more than 23 minutes in each of those contests. He remains a valuable fantasy alternative in deeper formats due to his ability to put up numbers in limited time.
JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Isaac - Sees boosted minutes again Isaac played 23 minutes and finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in Sunday's 113-98 win over the Suns.
Impact After playing no more than 17 minutes in 16 consecutive appearances from Nov. 19 through Jan. 22, Isaac has now cleared 20 minutes in two straight contests. Though the Magic are primarily deploying him as the primary backup to Paolo Banchero, Isaac has been able to pick up extra playing time at the other forward spot and as a backup center thanks to his ranginess and defensive versatility. Isaac should primarily be viewed as a streaming option for steals and blocks if he continues to see 20-plus minutes, but he could become more of a longer-term hold if he's able to pair the defensive production with increased usage on the offensive end. On an encouraging note, the Magic appear to be confident in the oft-injured Isaac's health; he's not on the injury report for Monday's game in Dallas and looks poised to be available for the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Gary Harris - Remains sidelined Harris (calf) won't play in Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Harris is set to miss a 13th consecutive game due to a right calf strain. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Spurs.
JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Markelle Fultz - Questionable Monday Fultz is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Mavericks due to left knee injury maintenance.
Impact Monday marks the second half of a back-to-back set for the Magic, so it is not a surprise to see Fultz on the injury report as he continues to work his way back to full form. He has sat out the second game in both of the team's last two back-to-back sets, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they retake the cautious approach with Fultz. If he is unable to go, Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black could see increased playing time.

Gary Harris - Absent Sunday Harris (calf) won't play in Sunday's game against Phoenix, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Harris will miss a 12th straight game due to a strained right calf. His next chance to play will come Monday at Dallas.
JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Suggs - Absent from injury report Suggs (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Suggs was forced to leave Friday's game with a bruised left knee, but he'll be good to go Sunday. During 16 games leading up to the injury, Suggs averaged 13.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

Trevelin Queen - Returns to tearing up G League Queen boomed for 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 120-104 win over the Charge.
Impact Queen rejoined partner Mac McClung (22 points) to fuel Osceola's offense. Queen averaged 3.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists on 40.0 percent shooting across 10 games with Orlando in January, but his combination of size and shooting makes him tough to stop at the G League level.

Jonathan Isaac - Logs season-high 22 minutes Isaac finished with 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds across 22 minutes during Friday's 107-106 loss to Memphis.
Impact Isaac played a season-high 22 minutes in the loss, although his production was nowhere near as positive. Despite being relatively healthy this season, Isaac is not the fantasy player he once was. Outside the top 180 for the season, he can be ignored in all standard formats.
