NBC SportsMoritz Wagner finished Tuesday's loss to the Knicks with 20 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-9 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 28 minutes.

Despite getting beaten soundly by the Knicks, the Magic advanced to the East quarterfinals of the NBA Cup, and Wagner had something to do with that. The 20 points were a season-high, and this was also his first double-double of the season. With Goga Bitadze sitting out Tuesday's game with a sprained ankle, Wagner will be worth a look in more leagues if Goga misses more time.

NBC SportsTristan da Silva tallied eight points (3-of-5 FGs), two rebounds, and two 3-pointers in 22 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks.

Da Silva was a late addition to the Magic starting lineup, as Goga Bitadze was scratched due to a sprained ankle. While the rookie wasn't a liability on the court, he didn't provide much value to fantasy managers. There may be more starts in Da Silva's future if Bitadze misses more time, but he isn't worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

NBC SportsGoga Bitadze (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Initially announced as a starter, Bitadze will not play in Tuesday's NBA Cup Group A decider. His absence pushes da Silva into the starting lineup, with Wendell Carter Jr. as the starting center. Completing the five are Jalen Suggs, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Franz Wagner. Da Silva does not need to be streamed in most fantasy leagues.

NBC SportsGoga Bitadze posted a full line on Sunday with 12 points (4-of-6 FGs), 13 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks in a 100-92 win over Brooklyn.

Even with Wendell Carter Jr. back in the lineup, Bitadze continues to thrive as the team's starting center. In the three games since WCJ returned, Goga has averaged 10.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.0 blocks per game. He has continued to start, and he hasn't lost out on minutes. Paolo Banchero's eventual return may change things, but if Bitadze continues to play this well, it may be WCJ that is moved out of the starting unit. Managers should continue to enjoy top tier production out of Bitadze moving forward.
