Game Highlights: Cavs Vs. Magic Game highlights from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 1126-99 victory over the Orlando Magic.

JANUARY 23 • SUNHERALD.COM

Paolo Banchero - Leads Magic in scoring Banchero registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-9 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Monday's game was the first time Banchero played less than 30 minutes since Nov. 29 against the Wizards. With the Magic down by 33 points going into the fourth quarter, the team elected to rest its starters. Banchero is averaging 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals over 37.0 minutes per game in January.

Franz Wagner - Scores 17 in second game back Wagner supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact With the Magic trailing big heading into the fourth quarter, the team opted to empty the bench, which partially explains Wagner's low minutes. He's working his way back from a right ankle sprain he sustained Jan. 3, and he played 28 minutes in his return Sunday against the Heat. His next chance to crack 30 minutes will be Friday against the Grizzlies.

Wendell Carter Jr. - Near double-double in loss Carter racked up 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Like Sunday's game against the Heat, Carter was one rebound shy of notching a double-double. He's returned to the starting center spot for Goga Bitadze and Carter has shown solid production over those starts. He's averaging 15.3 points on 61.1 percent shooting (including 56.3 percent from three), 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 24.0 minutes per game in January.

Anthony Black - Joins starting lineup Black is starting Monday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Black has come off the bench in eight of his last nine appearances, but he'll make his 29th start of the season Monday due to Markelle Fultz (rest) being out. Black has averaged 5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.4 minutes per game over his previous starts this year.

Jonathan Isaac - Will sit out Monday Isaac will be rested for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Isaac wasn't on the initial injury report, but the Magic have decided to rest him for the second leg of this back-to-back set. This gives him a lot of extra rest until Orlando's next game on Friday versus the Grizzlies.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Markelle Fultz - Will rest Monday Fultz (rest) will not play in Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact The Magic are giving Fultz's left knee some maintenance for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Orlando is off until Friday's game against the Grizzlies after they face Cleveland on Monday, giving Fultz ample recovery time. Anthony Black, Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony could have more responsibility Monday with Fultz taking the night off.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Cole Anthony - Not listed on injury report Anthony (ankle) isn't listed on the Magic's injury report ahead of Monday's game versus Cleveland.

Impact Anthony tweaked his ankle during Sunday's win over Miami, but as expected, he'll be fine moving forward. The backup guard has been inconsistent in January, scoring in double figures just five times over his last 10 appearances. During that stretch, he's averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 23.2 minutes per game.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Gary Harris - Out again Monday Harris (calf) will not play in Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact This will be the 10th straight game on the shelf for Harris, and the veteran shooting guard remains without a timetable for a return.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Goga Bitadze - Excised from rotation Bitadze (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Sunday's 105-87 win over the Heat.

Impact Following Wendell Carter's return from a five-game absence Jan. 15, Bitadze had maintained his spot in the starting five for the ensuing three contests, but he dropped to the bench Sunday with Carter being awarded his first start since Dec. 27. Bitadze ended up moving out of the rotation entirely, as head coach Jamahl Mosely elected to deploy Moritz Wagner as the center on the second unit rather than Bitadze when Carter was off the floor. Though Wagner isn't as skilled of a rim protector as Bitadze, power forward Jonathan Isaac is a rangy shot blocker off the bench, and Wagner provides the Magic with more of a floor-spacing element than Bitadze. With that in mind, it's conceivable that Bitadze continues to find himself outside of the rotation more often than not moving forward, assuming Carter continues to start.
