Markelle Fultz Out On First Part Of Back-To-Back
2 months agoOrlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The Magic will keep Fultz out on the first leg of their back-to-back as injury maintenance for his troublesome left knee, but the talented guard should be back out there for Wednesday’s meeting with the Washington Wizards. Following a three-game absence, Fultz has played from Orlando's bench in his latest four appearances, providing 9.5 points on 55.2% shooting from the field, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 17.7 minutes per contest. Cole Anthony should see an uptick in minutes as a boom-or-bust fantasy option against a Hornets team that holds the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (117.1) in the league, and through his past 10 showings, he's averaging 10.6 points, 4.2 boards, 2.9 dimes, and 1.0 three-pointers during 22.1 minutes per contest.
