Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black will start on Friday versus the undefeated Cavaliers. With Paolo Banchero (oblique) sidelined, Black will get his chance to roll with the first five. The 20-year-old has shown signs of promise in his second year in the National Basketball Association, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 44.4% shooting from behind the arc. Naturally, Franz Wagner (illness), Jalen Suggs, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are expected to do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end. However, Black warrants fantasy consideration in deeper formats. He'll also draw value interest from DFS managers.
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black will move back into the starting five for Wednesday's encounter with Washington. He's filling in for veteran Gary Harris (calf), who's getting the night off. Black will make his 32nd career start. The 20-year-old rookie has previously averaged 5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 21.6 minutes as a starter. He doesn't tend to play a very active role on offense for Orlando, and even a matchup against the worst defense in the league might not help Black make fantasy managers happy on Wednesday.
