Magic's Desmond Bane: Limited in crucial loss
Bane provided eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 loss to the Celtics.
Bane was limited to just 18 minutes, closing the regular season with a disappointing effort. It's fair to assume that Orlando was hoping to preserve Bane for the postseason, although plans changed when Boston took charge during the third quarter. Orlando will now face Philadelphia, with the winner securing a playoff spot against Boston.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Only three points in loss
Carter supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 loss to the Celtics.
Carter struggled during the loss, scoring just three points, the fewest he has scored since mid-Feb. Despite facing a Boston team minus all of its stars, Orlando failed to get the job done. As punishment, the Magic will now have to face the 76ers in Philadelphia, where the loser will then have to back up against either the Heat or the Hornets.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Hampered in loss Sunday
Wagner notched 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 loss to Boston.
Despite scoring at least 20 points for the second straight game, Wagner appeared to be limited down the stretch. He was seen with his head in his hands on the bench, seemingly bothered by an injury. He also received treatment on his knee but was forced to close the game given the situation. With Sunday's loss, Orlando will now travel to Philadelphia for the first game of the Play-In Tournament, where the winner will advance to face the Celtics.

Magic's Jett Howard: Ruled out Sunday
Howard (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Howard will end the regular season with a fifth consecutive absence due to a left ankle sprain. The third-year wing set career highs essentially across the board and will finish the regular season with averages of 5.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists across 12.6 minutes per game in 55 appearances off the bench.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Remaining out Sunday
Isaac (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Boston.
Isaac has missed 20 of Orlando's last 21 games, and his status for the Play-In Tournament is also in question. Considering the 28-year-old has averaged only 10.0 minutes per contest throughout the campaign, his absence won't have much of an impact on the Magic's rotation in the final game of the regular season.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Questionable for season finale
Isaac (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Boston, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Isaac has missed 20 of Orlando's last 21 contests, although he logged only one minute in his only appearance during that span. It's unknown how much action the 28-year-old will receive if he's able to suit up. However, with Orlando looking to avoid the Play-In, it's hard to imagine Isaac getting a prominent role in the season finale if he's available.

Magic's Jett Howard: Questionable to play Sunday
Howard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Celtics, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Howard has missed the Magic's last four games while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but he could be available for Sunday's game. He served in a key rotational role off the bench, and in 22 outings since the All-Star break he has averaged 6.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.1 threes over 16.1 minutes per game. If Howard is cleared to play against Boston, then there could be less minutes available for the likes of Anthony Black and Jamal Cain.

Magic's Colin Castleton: Sticks in rotation
Castleton had three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one steal over six minutes during Friday's 127-103 win over Chicago.
Castleton remained in the rotation, albeit as nothing more than a garbage-time participant. In fact, all four of his appearances this season have come in lopsided games. Although he does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly skill set, his role is far too insignificant to warrant any attention.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Second straight double-double
Bitadze finished Friday's 127-103 win over Chicago with 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 17 minutes.
Bitadze recorded his second straight double-double, taking advantage of a shorthanded opponent. Although it has been a nice stretch for Bitadze, there is no reason to suspect his role is likely to change moving forward. He should continue to serve as the primary backup behind Wendell Carter, typically playing no more than about 15 minutes per game.

Magic's Jamal Cain: Goes for season-high 20 points
Cain totaled 20 points (9-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes during Friday's 127-103 victory over the Bulls.
Cain scored a season-high 20 points, albeit against an opponent that seemingly gave up before the game even started. Although Cain has been able to carve out a spot in the rotation, this performance should be viewed as more of an outlier, given that he had scored in single digits in the previous four games.

Magic's Jett Howard: Remaining out for Friday
Howard (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Chicago, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.
A left ankle sprain will sideline Howard for a fourth consecutive contest. His last chance to return before the end of the regular season is Sunday in Boston against the Celtics.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Another absence coming
Isaac (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Isaac remains without a timetable, and there's been no indication he's close to a return. He can be considered doubtful for Orlando's regular-season finale in Boston on Sunday.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Makes three treys vs. Wolves
Suggs accumulated 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 victory over the Timberwolves.
Suggs didn't have a lot of touches on offense, but he was extremely sharp with his shot and drained three of his five three-pointers. It was his fourth straight game, and seventh of the last eight, in which he drained two or more treys. Suggs will need to be on point with his three-point shot in the playoffs, as the return of Franz Wagner means his role on offense will be even more secondary, as he'll sit behind Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane and the German forward in terms of offensive touches and usage rate.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Scores 17 points in win
Wagner contributed 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one block over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 win over Minnesota.
Wagner exited Wednesday's game during the third quarter due to an apparent knee injury, but he checked back in after a brief stint in the locker room. This was Wagner's first time playing more than 20 minutes since Feb 11. Even though his role on offense is prominent, the Magic's focus right now is to have him as sharp as possible for the upcoming playoff run, so his minutes might be limited in the final two games of the regular season against the Bulls and Celtics on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Massive double-double in win
Bitadze registered 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 win over the Timberwolves.
Bitadze took advantage of the fact that the Timberwolves were without Julius Randle (hand) and Rudy Gobert (rest) to dominate the paint, and he delivered a strong double-double coming off the bench. Wendell Carter will remain the starter for the Magic, but Bitadze has proven he can deliver solid numbers when needed. He's averaging 10.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in the 10 outings in which he's logged at least 20 minutes this season.
