Suggs supplied 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 115-111 win over the Suns.
Suggs turned in a well-rounded performance Tuesday and was Orlando's second-leading scorer, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since March 12. He also finished third on the team in rebounds and second in assists. Additionally, the 24-year-old point guard made an impact on the defensive end, finishing one swipe shy of tying his season high. Suggs has been inconsistent on the offensive end of late, scoring in double figures in four of his last seven games while reaching the 15-point threshold just once.
Magic's Franz Wagner: Inching closer toward return
Rotowire
Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Wagner (ankle), who has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, is "progressing well" in his recovery, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.
Mosley noted that Wagner has participated in 5-on-5 scrimmages at practice and will be re-evaluated following treatment. Wagner appears to have a real chance to return from a high-grade left ankle sprain Wednesday, when the Magic take on the Hawks in a key Eastern Conference matchup.

Magic's Anthony Black: Trending in right direction
Rotowire
Black (abdomen) was spotted going through individual work after Tuesday's shootaround, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Black will miss his 13th straight game Tuesday, but this update suggests that he's trending in the right direction. For now, he can be considered questionable at best for Wednesday against Atlanta.
Black (abdomen) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Phoenix.
Black will miss a 13th consecutive contest due to an abdominal strain and is without a definitive timetable for a return. He should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Magic offer an update on his progress.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Isaac is out for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to a sprained left knee.
Isaac has no timetable for a return to the floor due to the sprain. The veteran forward can be tentatively deemed doubtful for future contests until the Magic offer an update to suggest otherwise.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Ruled out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Wagner hasn't played since Feb. 11 due to left high-ankle sprain injury management, though he recently joined the G League's Osceola Magic for practice and is trending in the right direction. His next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Scoreless in 18 minutes
Rotowire
Richardson finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 139-87 loss to the Raptors.
Richardson couldn't find his rhythm Sunday, but he was shooting the ball well heading into the matchup. Across his last five outings, he's hitting 57.1 percent from the field, but he's getting just 10.9 minutes per contest, which keeps him off the fantasy radar.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Poor showing in blowout
Rotowire
Banchero provided nine points (3-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 139-87 loss to Toronto.
The Magic were run out of the building in this one, yet Banchero still logged 30 minutes -- no other starter reached that mark. This was just a small setback for Banchero, as he's averaging 25.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.6 three-pointers over his last eight games.
Black (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Toronto.
Black has been sidelined since March 7 due to an abdominal strain, and he'll remain out Sunday. Considering he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff, it doesn't seem like he is close to returning.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Wagner will end up missing a 20th consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain, but he has been ramping up his activities and was recently cleared to practice with the Osceola Magic in the G League. He's not quite ready to return, but his next chance to do so is Tuesday against the Suns.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Notches 18 points
Rotowire
Da Silva accumulated 18 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over the Kings.
Da Silva continues to take advantage of several injuries in Orlando. He's been a solid source of fantasy value, posting averages of 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 three-pointers over his last 12 games.

Magic's Desmond Bane: Productive in win Thursday
Rotowire
Bane amassed 23 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and six assists over 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over Sacramento.
Bane was coming off three straight games in which he couldn't reach the 20-point mark, but he bounced back admirably in this one with a strong shooting performance that also saw him drain three three-pointers. Bane has scored at least 15 points in 11 of his last 12 appearances, and his role as the Magic's No. 2 option behind Paolo Banchero is pretty much set in stone, giving him a solid floor in most slates.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Records double-double
Rotowire
Carter finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over the Kings.
Carter didn't have his best shooting performance, particularly considering that he plays near the rim as a center, but he still posted a decent output. This was his first double-double since March 12, when he had 19 points and 11 rebounds in a win over the Wizards, and his fifth since the All-Star break. It's worth noting that Carter has now scored in double digits in each of his last nine appearances as well.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Limited scoring output in return
Rotowire
Suggs amassed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over the Kings.
Suggs returned to the hardwood after a two-game absence, and while he had a decent stat line, he failed to provide much value as a scoring weapon. This was his sixth consecutive game in which he couldn't reach the 15-point mark, and at this point, it's fair to consider Suggs only a secondary option on offense, well behind the one-two combo of Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane in terms of usage rate and shooting volume.

Magic's Noah Penda: Moves out of rotation
Rotowire
Penda (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Thursday in the Magic's 121-117 win over the Kings.
Penda dropped out of the rotation, ending a stretch of 13 consecutive appearances in which he averaged 3.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 14.6 minutes per contest. The Magic played Thursday's contest without Franz Wagner (ankle), Anthony Black (abdomen) and Jonathan Isaac (knee), so Penda will have difficulty regaining a foothold on the second unit if/when any of those injured players return to action.
