Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) to remain out Wednesday for Magic
Orlando Magic power forward Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is out for Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Carter will remain out for a sixth straight contest. Chuma Okeke (knee) has also been ruled out again and Mo Bamba (back) is questionable, so Bol Bol could see extended minutes again. He started at center on Monday and scored 24 points with 6 boards, 2 assists, a steal, 2 blocks, and 3 triples in 39 minutes. Rookie Caleb Houstan entered the starting lineup and played 31 minutes, but he didn't have much to show for it (3 points, 7 rebounds).
numberFire's models project Bol for 30.0 minutes and 32.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday if Bamba is active. Over the last five games without WCJ, Bol scored over 40 FanDuel points three times. The Thunder are allowing the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to the center position this season.
