NBC SportsGary Harris (left hamstring strain) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Harris has been out of the lineup since November 25, missing ten games. While his return would not significantly impact fantasy basketball, it would improve the depth of a team playing without Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.

NBC SportsTristan da Silva finished Sunday's 100-91 loss to the Knicks with 20 points (9-of-17 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

The oblique injuries Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner suffered have made it necessary for others to increase their production, including da Silva. Before Sunday, he hadn't been much of a threat offensively. However, the performance against the Knicks will draw some attention for a rookie rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues. With Orlando off until Thursday, da Silva isn't a must-add on Monday morning. However, the playing time as a starter makes him worthy of deep-league consideration.

NBC SportsJalen Suggs played 32 minutes in Sunday's loss to New York, finishing with nine points (4-of-19 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists, one steal, three blocks, and one 3-pointer.

Suggs had a rough night against the Knicks, shooting 1-of-12 from the field in the first half. He was better after halftime, but the Magic guard's night came to a frustrating end when he fouled out with 3:59 remaining in the game. While Suggs has been a top-50 player over the past week, he's made just 35.6% of his shots. The looks haven't been as clean as they were with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner in the lineup, negatively impacting Suggs' scoring efficiency.

NBC SportsJonathan Isaac (right hamstring soreness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Isaac has missed Orlando's last three games, most recently going through part of his pregame routine before being held out of Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee. Isaac can provide solid value with Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero out, but the minutes restriction could be too much to overcome. Isaac playing 16-20 minutes would be worth a look in deep leagues, but there's no guarantee he will get there if cleared to play on Sunday.
