Paolo Banchero - Considered questionableBanchero (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ImpactBanchero has missed the Magic's previous two games due to back soreness.

Cameron Johnson - Goes for 18 points against ORLJohnson had 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and four steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 101-84 victory over the Magic.
ImpactJohnson was one of the best players for the Nets in this one, and he's enjoying a more significant role on offense than he had in Phoenix. Johnson is ending the regular season on a strong note, scoring in double digits in each of his last eight appearances, but given the Nets have nothing to play for in the final contest of the regular season, it wouldn't be shocking if Brooklyn decides to give him some extra rest ahead of a playoff matchup against the Sixers.
