Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's action against the San Antonio Spurs. He missed a seventh consecutive contest on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for Anthony after he was upgraded to questionable ahead of the week. Anthony's return will bump Cory Joseph back to the bench. The veteran guard has not been very productive with additional opportunities over the last couple of weeks but played well on Monday, notching 10 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Anthony Black's fantasy value will also decline with Anthony's return.
