Jonathan Isaac - Available to playIsaac (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets.

ImpactIsaac left Friday's game early in the second quarter after tweaking his ankle, but it's a great sign that he's able to give it a go on the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's likely to play limited minutes off the bench.

Joe Ingles - Hands out seven dimesIngles contributed 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and seven assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 130-125 victory over the Wizards.

ImpactIngles has gone through several ups and downs this season, both in terms of his scoring numbers and his role off the bench, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late. The veteran sharpshooter has scored in double digits in three of his last five appearances, and he might remain a decent waiver pickup as long as he keeps seeing around 25 minutes per night and sniffing double-digit points on a consistent basis.

Paolo Banchero - Sniffs triple-double in winBanchero chipped in 28 points (11-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes during Friday's 130-125 victory over the Wizards.

ImpactBanchero was efficient from the field, and even though Franz Wagner ended up leading the team in scoring with his 31-point outing, Banchero made his presence felt on both ends of the court, finishing just three assists away from a triple-double. Perhaps more importantly, Banchero looked completely healthy after he suffered an ankle problem Wednesday against Washington, and he should be able to handle his regular workload going forward. Banchero is averaging 20.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game over his last 10 contests.

Franz Wagner - Goes for 31 points in winWagner racked up 31 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-14 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 130-125 victory over Washington.

ImpactWagner led the Magic in scoring and carried Orlando to a harder-than-expected victory against a struggling Wizards team. Wagner has been on a roll of late and has scored at least 30 points in three straight contests while also reaching the 20-point plateau seven times across his last 11 appearances. Paolo Banchero opened the season as the Magic's primary scoring threat, but Wagner seems to be taking over that role of late given how good he's been.

Tyus Jones - Decent output in lossJones chipped in 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 130-125 loss to the Magic.

ImpactJones' scoring numbers have been up and down -- mostly down -- all season long due to his secondary role on offense, but at least he was efficient with his shot and also dished out decent assist numbers. He has struggled to produce as a regular starter, and playing with two ball-dominant players, such as Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole, doesn't help his cause, either. It's too early to drop Jones in most leagues, but it's not a secret that his overall production has been subpar most of the time.

Jonathan Isaac - Considered questionableIsaac (ankle) has Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com ahead of Saturday's contest in Brooklyn.

ImpactIsaac exited Friday's game in the second quarter after tweaking the ankle that had kept him out of the two previous games. His status Saturday will presumably depend on how that same ankle is feeling during warmups. Joe Ingles and Moritz Wagner would be candidates to see increased depth minutes at forward should Isaac be unable to play through the injury.
