Orlando Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. will return to the starting five Thursday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Carter has missed the last few games due to a muscle strain in his right leg, but he's being given the green light to return to the court just before Christmas. He'll also start. While it's not currently known who will be heading back to the bench to make room for Carter, odds are it'll be Gary Harris or Robin Lopez.
Our models project Carter for 13.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 33.1 FanDuel points across 31.8 minutes of action.
