Markelle Fultz (injury management) out Friday for Orlando
Orlando Magic point guard Markelle Fultz (left knee injury management) has been ruled out for Friday versus the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Fultz made his season debut earlier this week and averaged 15.0 minutes, 10.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks in two games. The Magic will understandably hold Fultz out on the front end of a back-to-back Friday, but he should return for Saturday's contest with the Memphis Grizzlies. R.J. Hampton, Terrence Ross, and Gary Harris could see an uptick in minutes on Friday.
numberFire’s models project Hampton for 22.9 minutes and 19.0 FanDuel points, and he has a $3,900 salary on Friday’s nine-game slate.
