Paolo Banchero (illness) added to Magic injury report Thursday
Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
Banchero is a late addition to the injury report and could miss his first game of the season. Wendell Carter Jr., Jonathan Isaac, Franz Wagner, Caleb Houstan, and Chuma Okeke are candidates to see more minutes if Banchero is ruled out.
numberFire's models project Banchero for 34.3 minutes and 36.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Magic's implied total (104.5) and the game total (216.0) are both the lowest on the Main slate.
