Cory Joseph

Anthony is back after a one-game absence, and his return will push Cory Joseph back to the bench. Joseph only contributed eight points and five assists in 26 minutes as a starter on Tuesday, and he won't hold any streaming value on Thursday.

With Cole Anthony sidelined, many were expecting Anthony Black to move into the starting lineup, but Joseph got his first starting nod since 2022. Joseph didn't contribute much in his 26 minutes, and Anthony Black wasn't able to do much in his 15 minutes, as he finished with five points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal. None of these three guards have been viable replacements for Jalen Suggs, who underwent season-ending surgery. Managers will likely have to look outside of Orlando for the best replacement for Suggs.

Anthony was a late addition to the injury report, and he has now officially been ruled out. Anthony Black will likely slide into the starting lineup, with Cory Joseph filling out the backup point guard minutes.

With Cole Anthony (toe) sidelined, Joseph will slide into the starting lineup after playing 10 minutes on Sunday. Joseph hasn't been a consistent part of Orlando's rotation this season, but he will get a big opportunity on Tuesday. Anthony Black will likely fill out the backup point guard minutes.
