Markelle Fultz (toe) ready to make season debut for Magic
Orlando Magic point guard Markelle Fultz (toe) is available to play on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Fultz was sidelined to start the season due to a fractured toe he suffered before training camp. The Magic will almost certainly limit Fultz's minutes in his debut, but the 2017 No. 1 overall pick should eventually settle into a meaningful role. Cole Anthony (oblique) will also be available Wednesday for the first time in over a month.
Over Fultz's final eight games last season, he averaged 13.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.6 steals across 22.4 minutes. numberFire's models project him for 18.0 minutes and 19.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday in his season debut.
