Rotowire
da Silva had 19 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-107 victory over the Hornets.
da Silva has been hit-or-miss this season, but he's been trending up over the past two, scoring in the teens, draining threes and snatching steals, so he's on the radar in deep leagues. It helps that he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Wizards on a six-game Saturday.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Logs another solid showing
Rotowire
Da Silva dropped 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 24 minutes in Friday's 111-107 win over Atlanta.
Friday marked da Silva's second straight showing with at least 15 points and two three-pointers made. He has been one of Orlando's main contributors among the second unit, and will likely continue to operate as the team's sixth man if he keeps this level of production. If da Silva can provide value similar to the six rebound, three assist and three steal game he turned in Friday, in addition to being a scorer, fantasy managers should give serious consideration to rostering him.
