Orlando's D.J. Augustin (hamstring) hopes to return Saturday or Monday

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin is hopeful to return to game action Saturday against the Utah Jazz or Monday versus the Indiana Pacers.

What It Means:

Augustin said, "I'm leaving it up to the training staff on when I could return, but it's looking like pretty soon." The Magic have been careful with Augustin's hamstring injury. He's been out since November 1st and there's been no word of a timetable or if he'll be limited when he returns. But when he does, Shelvin Mack and Jonathon Simmons would see less usage and minutes.

If he does, in fact, return, Augustin's projected for 17.6 FanDuel points and 24.7 minutes on Saturday against the Jazz. If it's not until Monday, he's projected for 18.3 FanDuel points against the Pacers in that one.
