Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Black will miss his third game in a row due to a lower back contusion. The Magic are likely to continue using a committee approach to fill the void. Trevelin Queen, Gary Harris, and Caleb Houstan will likely all see increased roles on Friday. None of these players have ideal streaming option, but Harris might have the highest upside of the three.
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game with the Detroit Pistons. Black was out of the lineup against the Nets on Sunday due to back spasms. He didn't practice on Tuesday, so he will likely be sidelined Wednesday. If the 20-year-old second-year pro can't suit up, Gary Harris and Cole Anthony will likely see more playing time in the Motor City.
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.
