Goga Bitadze Fantasy Stats

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze put up 23 points, eight rebounds, one steal, and two blocks in Georgia's 101-74 win over Montenegro on Friday in Group I of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualifiers. The 27-year-old finished second on the team behind Tornike Shengelia, who led all scorers with 24 points, while Sandro Mamukelashvili chipped in 17 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. Summer form is not Bitadze's issue. Playing time is. He averaged 5.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 15.2 minutes last season and was out of the rotation by Game 7 against Detroit. Orlando then added Nikola Vucevic after Moritz Wagner's departure, leaving Bitadze behind Wendell Carter Jr. and Vucevic in a crowded center mix. He stays off fantasy radars unless an injury opens minutes.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (knee) is set to return on Monday against the Toronto Raptors. Bitadze missed three straight games due to a sprained left knee. The 26-year-old big man will slide back into his role as backup center behind Wendell Carter. With Bitadze back in the mix, Jonathan Isaac's usage will be reduced. Bitadze won't be a fantasy factor as his minutes will likely be restricted during tonight's tilt after an extended absence.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (knee) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. The Georgian giant hasn't been able to play this week after spraining his left knee. Since his departure from the lineup, Jonathan Isaac has taken on a few extra minutes. However, Isaac has not made a fantasy impact. Starting center Wendell Carter Jr. will be in for a challenging night on Saturday against Nikola Jokic. He enjoyed the battle in this season's first head-to-head meeting, scoring 26 points in 29 minutes during a 126-115 loss on Dec. 18.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (knee) has been downgraded to out for Friday night's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Bitadze will miss his second straight game as he deals with a left knee sprain. In his absence, expect Jonathan Isaac and Noah Penda to get extended minutes off the bench. Of the two, Penda may be the more appealing option for fantasy managers and DFS players alike as the 20-year-old has averaged 6.8 RPG over the last five games. His value isn't high, but he could provide sneaky value on the interior with the Hornets having their own injury issues at center.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday night's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Bitadze is dealing with a knee strain that caused him to miss Tuesday's 110-106 win over Portland. The 26-year-old hasn't been a great fantasy option for many as a bench option for Orlando, but could provide value to those in category leagues if they're in need of rebounds if he's able to go. If Bitadze can't suit up, expect Jonathan Isaac and Noah Penda to get extended minutes off the bench.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (knee) won't play on Tuesday against Portland. This will be his first absence of the year. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, with his next chance to suit up coming on Friday versus the Charlotte Hornets. Without Bitadze in the mix, that could mean even more minutes for Wendell Carter Jr. Jonathan Isaac (hip) might also spend time in the middle, although the Magic may need to run smaller than usual if he isn't available.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (knee) was given the questionable tag for Tuesday night's game against the Trail Blazers, as the Magic finish a back-to-back. Bitadze played 14 minutes against the Warriors on Monday, scoring two points to go with five rebounds and a block. Jonathan Isaac (hip) and Tristan da Silva (shoulder) are also questionable, and Mo Wagner (knee) isn't quite ready to return yet, which could leave Wendell Carter Jr. and Paolo Banchero without much depth behind them in the frontcourt against Portland.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) was added to the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the 76ers as questionable with ankle soreness. Bitadze has played 16.8 minutes per game off the bench in his 17 games this season, chipping in 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. If he's out on Tuesday, Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Isaac would likely handle the backup center role behind Wendell Carter Jr.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers after missing one game, putting him back into his usual role behind Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle), who is also returning. Bitadze averaged 6.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block across his last five appearances while shooting 77.8 percent from the field, giving him niche value in deeper formats. His return likely bumps Orlando Robinson out of the rotation, and managers seeking field-goal percentage or defensive boosts can deploy Bitadze in specialist builds.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Celtics. Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) wasn't available, so Bitadze was in line to take over at the five. However, the 26-year-old developed ankle soreness, resulting in him being scratched after the team had already announced he would be in the starting lineup. Orlando Robinson ended up taking his spot in the rotation. Fantasy managers will now have to wait and see if either Carter or Bitadze will be back on the floor for Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Philadelphia 76ers.
