NBC SportsJalen Suggs was ejected from Tuesday's game against the 76ers with 26.6 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

With the Magic leading by an 82-58 margin, things got heated between the two teams. Philadelphia's Andre Drummond and Orlando's Wendell Carter Jr. squared up on each other, but they were separated before Suggs decided to get involved. For their roles in the altercation, Carter, Drummond and Philadelphia's Jabari Walker received technical fouls, while Suggs was ejected. He finishes with four points, five rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocked shots.

NBC SportsJalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner, Tristan da Silva and Wendell Carter Jr. will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Carter is back after an ankle injury sidelined him for Sunday's loss to the Celtics. Orlando Robinson, an emergency starter on Sunday as the Magic were also without Goga Bitadze, may fall out of the rotation entirely since the team's top two centers are available. The other change is Suggs, whose return means Anthony Black will come off the bench. Da Silva continues to start in place of the injured Paolo Banchero and should be rostered in deep leagues.

NBC SportsGoga Bitadze (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Bitadze is back after a one-game absence, but so is starter Wendell Carter Jr. Therefore, there isn't much to gain from rostering Bitadze in most fantasy leagues, even with only three games on the schedule.

NBC SportsGoga Bitadze (ankle) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Initially slated to start for Wendell Carter Jr., Bitadze was scratched from the Magic lineup minutes before tipoff on Sunday against the Celtics. Orlando Robinson filled the void, but he's likely to be inactive with Bitadze and Carter removed from the injury report. Bitadze will take on his usual backup center role in Philadelphia, which makes him a non-factor in fantasy basketball.

NBC SportsGoga Bitadze (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Celtics and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Orlando Robinson.

In a brutal turn of events for fantasy managers who may have streamed him, Bitadze was scratched from the Magic starting lineup after the announced tip time. With Wendell Carter Jr. also out, the Magic turn to Orlando Robinson to fill the void. It's too late to slot him into your lineups, but watch Robinson with an eye toward Week 6 if Carter and Bitadze miss more time.
