Dwayne Bacon starting for Orlando Friday after Evan Fournier trade

Orlando Magic guard Dwayne Bacon will start Friday in the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

What It Means:

Bacon has been coming off the bench as of late, but the Magic essentially traded their entire starting lineup at the deadline. As such, four spots opened up in the lineup, and Bacon will assume the one left vacant by Evan Fournier.

Our models project Bacon for 16.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 25.8 FanDuel points across 36.2 minutes of action.
