Aaron Gordon (hamstring) officially out for Orlando on Friday
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (left hamstring strain) has officially been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Gordon will likely be re-evaluated ahead of Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics to determine whether he is facing a multi-game absence. Wes Iwundu and Gary Clark are both seen as candidates to replace Gordon in the starting lineup. Terrence Ross should see a significant boost offensively while Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier should also help pick up the slack.
Ross has per-36 averages of 21.7 points and 3.8 3-pointers with 4.4 rebounds without Gordon this season, per NBA Advanced Stats. numberFire's models project Ross for 23.3 FanDuel points on Friday. He costs $5,400.
