Goga Bitadze

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.

Carter is back after missing 12 games with a foot injury, but he will be limited to 14-16 minutes. That protects the fantasy values of Bitadze and Moritz Wagner in the short term. Also of note is Suggs' return after sitting out Monday's win over the Hornets due to injury. He steps in for Gary Harris, who is out with a hamstring strain.

Following 12 straight absences, Carter Jr. will make his triumphant return to the lineup on Wednesday. He should return to the starting unit, which would bump Goga Bitadze back to the bench. All three of their centers should still have a role, though it's unclear how many minutes will be available for Bitadze and Moritz Wagner off the bench.

On multiple occasions, Wagner has provided solid value off the bench since the Magic lost Wendell Carter Jr. to plantar fasciitis. Monday was another one of those nights, as he finished two rebounds shy of a double-double and shot 70% from the field. Goga Bitadze (six points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 22 minutes) remains the superior streamer, but Wagner should not be overlooked in spots where Bitadze is off the board.

Harris is the lone change to the starting lineup, as he will fill in for the injured Jalen Suggs (hamstring). However, Anthony Black is the better deep-league streaming target, as he'll play plenty despite coming off the bench. Bitadze will get at least one more start, as Wendell Carter Jr. remains out with a foot injury.
