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.

Bane fouled out in this win, but that didn't stop him from posting a decent fantasy line while ending as the Magic's second-best scorer behind Paolo Banchero. This was Bane's third straight game with 20-plus points, and his role as the Magic's No. 2 option on offense, as well as his three-point shooting ability, make him a valuable fantasy commodity across all formats.

Magic's Desmond Bane: Goes for 22 points in OT win
Rotowire
Bane finished with 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, six assists and three steals over 42 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 overtime victory over the Wizards.
Bane was unable to repeat the 35-point performance he delivered in the win over the Cavaliers during the first leg of the back-to-back set. However, the sharpshooter remains a valuable scoring weapon for the Magic as part of a group of secondary threats behind Paolo Banchero. Bane has scored at least 20 points in four of his last six outings, averaging 24.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game while shooting 37.5 percent from the floor in that span.

Bane was locked in from the jump, missing just once through the first half. He was clutch down the stretch, scoring 11 of his 35 points in the final frame and capping off his night with a game-deciding triple with 20 seconds left in regulation, which prompted him to break out the Sam Cassell celebration. As a bonus for 9-cat managers, Bane didn't commit a single turnover in his 36 minutes of floor time.

Bane continued his string of excellent play Sunday, posting a team-high 36 points on great efficiency. Although Bane spent the majority of the game draining buckets, his single assist came on a touchdown pass to Paolo Banchero with 40 seconds left, the score that ultimately gave them the victory. Bane has now scored 30-plus points in back-to-back games, and in three out of his last four contests overall.

Magic's Desmond Bane: Scores game-high 34 points
Rotowire
Bane posted 34 points (12-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block across 40 minutes in Saturday's 113-110 triple-overtime loss to the Suns.
Bane did everything in his power to carry the Magic to a victory, but a last-second game-winning three from Jalen Green prevented him from doing so. Bane has now scored 30-plus points in two of his last three games while putting up at least 22 in five of his last six contests, so he's doing an excellent job operating as the Magic's No. 2 option on offense behind Paolo Banchero, and even taking over when the game calls for it.

Rotowire
Bane ended Thursday's 118-98 victory over the Nets with 23 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes.
Bane was held to just seven points on 3-for-7 shooting in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Thunder, so it was nice to see him get things back on track Thursday evening. He did a good job of taking advantage of Brooklyn's lackluster effort on defense, repeatedly attacking the rim and cashing in on easy looks. Bane will look to keep his foot on the gas pedal Saturday with a favorable matchup against the Jazz.

Rotowire

Bane couldn't be stopped from beyond the arc Friday, and he propelled the Magic to a come-from-behind victory with 16 points in the fourth quarter while connecting on all six of his field-goal attempts in the frame (including 4-for-4 from downtown). It was the sixth time in Bane's six-year NBA career that he connected on at least seven triples in a game, and he was one shy of matching his career best that he set in October 2022 as a member of the Grizzlies. Bane has averaged 23.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 3.6 threes and 1.0 steals over 36.4 minutes per game across his last five outings.
