Markelle Fultz Sitting For Third Straight Game
6 months agoOrlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. Fultz was a late scratch from last Thursday's interconference meeting with the Utah Jazz due to left knee swelling, which is moderately concerning since it's the same knee he tore the ACL in back during early 2021. Orlando could be opting for the cautious approach with the oft-injured former No. 1 overall pick, whose next shot to return to the lineup arrives on Thursday versus the Atlanta Hawks. Fultz should be considered day-to-day, as he was seen working out at Monday morning's shootaround. Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony, and first-round rookie Anthony Black all stand to benefit from Fultz's absence against the Mavs, but it's difficult to discern the preferred DFS play. Each of their respective minutes have fluctuated under head coach Jamahl Mosley in the last two games without Fultz.
