MARCH 22 • YOUTUBE
Dishes five dimes versus Hornets Banchero supplied 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 112-92 win over the Hornets.
Impact Banchero extended his streak of five-plus assists to five games after Tuesday's win. His 26 minutes played were his lowest of the season, as the Magic found themselves up by as many as 41 points. Banchero was efficient with his limited touches as he hit all but one of his field-goal attempts. Thursday's interconference game against Zion Williamson and the Pelicans should provide a bigger challenge for a Magic team that is 12-3 over their last 15 games.

Leads Orlando to win Sunday Banchero produced 29 points (11-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 111-96 win over the Raptors.
Impact Banchero was extremely efficient Sunday, and even though his role as Orlando's go-to player on offense is not under question, his already-high fantasy value gets a sizable bump when he's shooting the ball this well. Banchero has quickly become a stat-filling machine as the season has progressed, and he has been handling well the fact that he now has a more significant responsibility on offense. He's averaging 23.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.9 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

The reigning Rookie of the Year has topped 20 points in six of seven games since missing a couple contests in late February due to an illness, averaging 24.0 points, 6.4 boards, 5.7 assists and 1.3 threes over that stretch while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor.

Leads team with 19 points Banchero totaled 19 points (6-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 111-97 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Banchero logged a solid total amid Jalen Suggs' (thigh) and Markelle Fultz's (knee) absence. Banchero is one of the only players on the roister to avoid injury this season, as he's played and started in 62 games. The Duke product has been critical to the team's success this season, and the forward has improved in almost every statistical category after a promising rookie season.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Drops 10 dimes Wednesday Banchero totaled 25 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Wizards.
Impact It's the fourth time this season that Banchero has registered 10 or more assists in a game. The 2022 first-overall pick has scored 22-plus points in each of his last four outings, and he has gone 22-for-27 from the free throw line over that span. Over his last five games, Banchero has averaged 24.0 points on 50.0 percent shooting, 6.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists over 33.7 minutes per game.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Goes for 22 points Tuesday Banchero registered 22 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 101-89 win over Charlotte.
Impact Banchero missed two games due to illness toward the end of February, but he hasn't skipped a beat since returning, posting three straight games with more than 20 points. Firmly entrenched as Orlando's most reliable fantasy asset, as he leads the team in points, rebounds, and assists per game, most of Banchero's fantasy value lies in the scoring column. On that note, he's scored 20 or more points in five of his last seven appearances. He's averaging 21.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game since the league resumed following the All-Star break.

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.

Over Banchero's last five appearances, he's averaged 21.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 35.2 minutes per game.

Considered game-time decision Banchero (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Banchero is questionable for Thursday's matchup, and the Magic want to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his status. He's been unavailable for the last two games due to a non-COVID illness, and Caleb Houstan is a candidate to draw another start if Banchero remains sidelined.
