R.J. Hampton News
Orlando Magic guard R.J. Hampton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The young guard was set to return here after sitting out due to a sprained MCL. However, Hampton suffered a left ankle injury during Friday's morning shootaround. Fantasy managers might have to wait a little longer before getting to see Hampton on the court again. Once healthy, Hampton should get plenty of minutes for the rebuilding Magic roster. In the meantime, Terrence Ross and Gary Harris will benefit with Hampton off the court. Both players are mainly deep league assets and shouldn't have value for much longer.
Orlando Magic guard R.J. Hampton will be available for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He has been sidelined due to safety protocols and was held out of Thursday's game due to conditioning reasons. The Magic are still without multiple players due to protocols. That being said, Hampton should have a significant role in the rotation going forward. He could hold some deep league value, but is probably too inconsistent for most formats.
Orlando Magic small forward Terrence Ross and point/shooting guard R.J. Hampton have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols and will miss at least Friday night's game. Their absence has left the Magic backcourt extremely thin with Cole Anthony (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (thumb) sidelined; Gary Harris and Mychal Mulder are the only usual backcourt members active against the Heat. Ross had begun to find his offensive rhythm over his past four contests, in which he averaged 18 points per game off the bench; Hampton made his first start of the season Wednesday and logged 15 points. The next chance that either of the duo has to suit up comes Saturday vs. Brooklyn, although that seems highly unlikely due to the nature of the protocols.
Orlando Magic point guard R.J. Hampton had his best game of the season on Saturday, getting to a team-high 19 points, five rebounds and nine assists in a 117-108 loss against Milwaukee. He added one steal to his line with two turnovers in 28 minutes off the bench, shooting 6-for-12 from the field and 5-for-9 from downtown. Hampton took advantage of extra minutes that were available because of Cole Anthony's (ankle) absence. Anthony sprained his right ankle in Friday's 115-113 loss to Brooklyn and these injuries could take some serious time to hear. Hampton's fantasy stock will shoot up if Anthony is forced to spend some time on the sidelines.
