  • 87-81-3 4th Place
    • Nears double-double Thursday
      Wagner provided 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Wagner is known for his scoring ability, but in a game where Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs carried the offense, Wagner made his presence felt as a distributor, with his eight assists being his highest output since Dec. 26. Wagner should remain a capable presence on the offensive side of the ball for the Magic, as he's averaged 17.3 points per game through the first three contests of this first-round series.

    • Nearly perfect in Game 3 victory
      Suggs provided 24 points (9-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Paolo Banchero led the way for the Magic with an impressive double-double, but Suggs' outing can't be overlooked, as he missed just two shots from the field while also making his presence felt on both ends of the court. The Magic need Suggs to be at his best if they want to have a shot at turning things around in the series, and this was certainly a step in the right direction after he scored a combined 22 points while going 6-for-21 from the field in the first two games of this series.

    • Jalen Suggs (knee) goes off for 24 points Thursday
      Jalen Suggs (left knee strain) shot 9-of-11 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s 121-83 win over Cleveland, amassing 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and three 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

      Advice: After injuring his knee during the first half of Monday’s Game 2 loss, Suggs was at his best in Game 3. In addition to recording a full stat line, he provided the Magic with some much-needed perimeter shooting as Orlando picked up its first win of the series. Orlando will need a similar effort in Game 4 on Saturday as they look to even the series. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:24 pm
       
    • Franz Wagner dishes out eight assists in blowout
      Franz Wagner shot 6-of-12 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s rout of the Cavaliers, accounting for 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner took much better care of the basketball than in Game 2. After committing six turnovers in that defeat, Franz did not record any in Game 3. In fact, Orlando’s starters were responsible for just one turnover, which was a major factor in the Magic’s first win of the series. Wagner will look to do more of the same in Game 4 on Saturday, with Cleveland still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:19 pm
       
    • Won't face limitations in Game 3
      Suggs won't face a minutes limit during Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he practiced fully Wednesday and did so again Thursday morning. He's averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 31.0 minutes per game over the first two matchups in the series. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:59 am
       
    • Good to go for Game 3
      Suggs (knee) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he returned in the second half and said he was fine following the contest. He was also able to practice Wednesday. The defensive-minded guard has totaled 22 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block through the first two games of the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:42 pm
       
    • Goes through practice
      Suggs (knee) was able to practice Wednesday, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

      Advice: Coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs is feeling better, and previous reports have indicated that the guard is expected to play in Game 3 Thursday against the Cavaliers. Fantasy managers can expect more clarity when Orlando releases their official injury report Wednesday evening. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:34 am
       
    • Struggles from field in loss
      Powell accumulated six points (2-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Powell landed two three-pointers in the loss but failed to connect on any other baskets. He remains an offensive sparkplug off the bench, but on nights like this, his lack of peripheral stats is on display for all to see. If the Clippers are to wrestle back home-court advantage, they need Powell to be a more reliable offensive threat. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:22 am
       
    • Paul George records 22/2/4/1/1 line in Game 2 loss
      Paul George logged 37 minutes in Tuesday’s 96-93 loss to the Mavericks, accounting for 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: As he did in Game 1, George scored 22 points on Tuesday. The area where Kawhi Leonard’s return impacted him was the shot attempts, with PG’s 14 being six fewer than his total in Game 1. He still shot 50% from the field and played 37 minutes despite some foul trouble, but navigating the balance between scoring and deferring to Leonard at times will be one of the most significant subplots for the remainder of this series. Game 3 is on Friday in Dallas, with the teams tied at one win apiece. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:33 pm
