Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Iffy for Game 1
Isaac (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Pistons.
Isaac is in danger of missing a 20th consecutive contest due to a left knee sprain. If he's ultimately ruled out, Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain could see a small bump in playing time.

Magic's Jett Howard: Logs garbage time in play-in win
Howard played the final 5:43 of Friday's 121-90 win over the Hornets in the Play-In Tournament, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
Howard missed the final five games of the regular season due to a left ankle sprain before being cleared in advance of the Magic's first game of the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday. He didn't end up seeing any run in Wednesday's 109-97 loss to the 76ers but was able to see some minutes in garbage time Friday. Based on how he was used Wednesday and Friday, Howard doesn't look like he'll be a regular factor in the rotation during the Magic's upcoming first-round playoff series versus the Pistons.

Magic's Noah Penda: Garbage-time appearance
Penda contributed four points (2-2 FG) in six minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game win over the Hornets.
Penda took advantage of a lopsided result, suiting up for the first time in the past four games. Friday's victory sees the Magic moving on to face the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs. Penda is unlikely to see any playing time in the series outside of blowout scenarios.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Serviceable effort in win
Suggs recorded 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 22 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game victory over the Hornets.
Suggs logged modest playing time as Orlando easily accounted for Charlotte, advancing to the first round of the playoffs to face the Pistons. Although Suggs' production was somewhat muted, his impact on the defensive end of the floor was undeniable. He continues to provide Orlando with energy on both ends and will need to be at his best for the Magic to have a chance of pulling off a first-round upset.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Back in rotation Friday
Richardson finished Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game victory over the Hornets with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over six minutes.
Richardson made a brief appearance, taking advantage of the fact that the game was a blowout. It continues what has been mostly a disappointing campaign, with Richardson averaging just 4.4 points in 10.8 minutes per game over 55 contests.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Scores game-high 25 points in win
Banchero registered 25 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block over 33 minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Tournament win over the Hornets.
Banchero struggled with turnovers and his shot in Wednesday's Play-In Tournament loss to the 76ers, but he bounced back in a big way Friday, powering the Magic to a blowout win. He ended his evening with just two turnovers and was a plus-17 in the 31-point victory. The Magic will now head to Detroit for their first-round matchup with the Pistons.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Ruled out Friday
Isaac (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets.
Isaac hasn't played since March 12 due to a left knee sprain and will remain sidelined for Friday's win-or-go-home matchup. His continued absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Questionable for Friday
Isaac (knee) is questionable for Friday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets.
Isaac has missed over a month now due to a left knee sprain, but the Magic are leaving the door open for the forward to return in a must-win game Friday. If Isaac is ultimately deemed unable to play, Orlando would need Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain to help fill out more playing time in the frontcourt.

Magic's Jevon Carter: Removed from rotation
Carter (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Magic's 109-97 loss to the 76ers in the Play-In Tournament.
Carter had appeared in all 29 of the Magic's games following the All-Star break and averaged 7.4 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 21.0 minutes, but he ended up being the odd man out Wednesday with head coach Jamahl Mosley cutting his rotation down to nine men for the playoff opener. With Jalen Suggs logging heavy minutes Wednesday as the Magic's starting point guard and with Franz Wagner and Anthony Black also beginning to see more playing time after having their minutes monitored carefully late in the regular season following their returns from extended absences, Carter will likely struggle to see the court for the duration of Orlando's playoff run.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Limited in loss
Wagner chipped in 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 109-97 Play-In Game loss to Philadelphia.
Wagner remained on a minutes restriction, although he came close to 30 minutes for the first time since returning from injury. With that said, he appeared to suffer a knee injury late in the game, sending him to the bench for a brief period. While he was able to close out the game, he looked far from healthy. His availability for Friday's must-win game against the Hornets could be key, should the Magic hope to advance to the playoffs.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Barely visible in loss
Da Silva racked up four points (2-2 FG) and two rebounds across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 109-97 Play-In Game loss to the 76ers.
In what was another disappointing performance, da Silva offered very little on either end of the floor. Outside of a brief period in which he put himself firmly on the standard league radar, things haven't gone as planned in recent times. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, da Silva has been well outside the top-300 players in fantasy, averaging just 8.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Rough night Wednesday
Banchero totaled 18 points (7-22 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 109-97 Play-In Game loss to the 76ers.
Banchero did more harm than good Wednesday, shooting under 33 percent from the floor for the second straight game, during which time he has also accumulated 12 turnovers. Wednesday's loss will see Orlando return home to host Charlotte for the right to play Detroit in the first round of the playoffs. If the Magic are to do any damage this postseason, Banchero is going to up his game on both ends of the floor.
