OG Anunoby

Anunoby ended with 24 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 40 minutes during Saturday's 132-120 victory over the Magic.

After a few rough outings, Bane came up big to help the Magic advance to the NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas. Bane joked after the game that he just lost $35,000 (courtesy of him throwing a ball at OG Anunoby), and that he's "gotta go get it back somehow." Orlando just lost Franz Wagner (ankle) to what is expected to be a multi-week absence. Bane figured things out after a slow start to the season when Paolo Banchero missed time, and now Bane will get the opportunity to gel with Banchero with Wagner sidelined. While Bane has shown on multiple occasions that he can still be as productive as he was in Memphis, it hasn't happened consistently when this team is healthy. For now, he'll look to help the Magic win the NBA Cup by taking on more responsibility on offense, which is a great thing for fantasy managers.

While the Knicks went a commendable 6-3 without OG Anunoby sidelined by injury, his absence and recent return to the lineup only reiterated his importance to this team and its championship aspirations.

This is now the second such incident with Desmond Bane in as many months.

Magic guard Desmond Bane was fined $35,000 by the NBA for firing the basketball at New York's OG Anunoby in an unsportsmanlike manner.
