Magic's Wendell Carter: Only three points in loss
Carter supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 loss to the Celtics.
Carter struggled during the loss, scoring just three points, the fewest he has scored since mid-Feb. Despite facing a Boston team minus all of its stars, Orlando failed to get the job done. As punishment, the Magic will now have to face the 76ers in Philadelphia, where the loser will then have to back up against either the Heat or the Hornets.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Upgraded to available
Carter (questionable) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter was initially carrying a questionable tag due to a nasal fracture, but the big man will suit up and should handle his regular workload down low. Carter is averaging 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 19 appearances since the beginning of March.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Questionable for Wednesday
Carter is questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota with a nasal fracture.
Carter didn't return to Monday's win over the Pistons due to the injury. His absence would free up a spot in the starting lineup, which would likely be filled by Goga Bitadze and would also put him in the streaming mix.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Fails to return vs. Detroit
Carter (neck) didn't return to Monday's game against the Pistons. He finished the night with 12 points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 18 minutes.
The timing of this injury is unfortunate for Carter and the Magic, who have three regular-season matchups remaining before gearing up for the playoffs. The team will presumably re-evaluate the 26-year-old Tuesday to determine his status for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Unlikely to return Monday
Carter exited Monday's game against the Pistons due to a neck sprain and is doubtful to return.
The Magic will likely lean on Goga Bitadze down the stretch with Carter presumably shut down for the rest of the night. He can be considered day-to-day leading up to Wednesday's game against Minnesota, assuming he fails to return Monday.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Scores season-high 28 points
Carter finished Friday's 138-127 victory over the Mavericks with 28 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.
Carter not only led the Magic in scoring in this win, but he also delivered a season-high mark in scoring -- his previous season-best output was a 26-point effort against the Nuggets on Dec. 18. Carter is ending the regular season on a strong note, and even though he tends to operate as the No. 3 or No. 4 option offensively for Orlando, he's making the most of his role. This was the 12th time he's scored in double digits over his last 13 appearances dating back to March 11.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Posts double-double
Carter recorded 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 win over the Suns.
Carter was efficient on both ends of the court and posted his second double-double over the last three games. While Carter's upside on offense is being the team's No. 3 option in a best-case scenario, he ultimately produces enough even in a limited role to be considered a strong fantasy option. Carter ended March scoring in double digits in nine of his last 10 appearances, averaging 13.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Records double-double
Carter finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over the Kings.
Carter didn't have his best shooting performance, particularly considering that he plays near the rim as a center, but he still posted a decent output. This was his first double-double since March 12, when he had 19 points and 11 rebounds in a win over the Wizards, and his fifth since the All-Star break. It's worth noting that Carter has now scored in double digits in each of his last nine appearances as well.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Productive again despite loss
Carter contributed 15 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 136-131 loss to the Cavaliers.
Carter continues to play a pivotal role for the Magic, despite the fact that he has yet to really blow up. He has been one of the more underrated players this season, quietly going about his business with very little fanfare. Through 68 games, he has been a top-70 player in nine-category leagues, averaging 11.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Cleared to face Lakers
Carter (ribs) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Carter will shed a questionable tag to play in Saturday's contest. He had been dealing with a bruised left rib. Carter's return will likely push Goga Bitadze back to the second unit.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Questionable for Saturday
Carter (ribs) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Carter remains day-to-day after missing Thursday's game against the Hornets. If Orlando's starting center misses another contest, the Magic will likely lean on Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Ruled out Thursday
Carter is out for Thursday's game against the Hornets due to a left rib contusion.
After being absent from the initial injury report, Carter has been scratched from the lineup altogether Thursday. The veteran big man can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Lakers. Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner should split the center minutes versus Charlotte, putting both in the deep-league streaming mix.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Sniffs double-double
Carter produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 victory over the Heat.
Carter ended just two rebounds shy of posting what would've been his third consecutive double-double. The big man continues to find ways to produce on the offensive end for the Magic, and it would be fair to say he's been performing as the team's third-best option behind the duo of Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane with Franz Wagner (ankle) and Anthony Black (abdomen) out. Carter has scored in double figures in eight of his last 10 games, reaching the 15-point mark six times in that span.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Records double-double
Carter contributed 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 overtime victory over the Wizards.
In a game where Paolo Banchero wasn't at his best, Carter was one of several Orlando players who stepped up, and the big man made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Aside from notching a double-double, his four steals-plus-blocks were his highest mark in those categories since Jan. 18, when he also had two steals and two swats against the Grizzlies. This was Carter's second consecutive double-double and fourth across his last nine contests.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Double-doubles in win
Carter closed Wednesday's 128-122 win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block across 35 minutes.
Carter stepped up in this win, helping the Magic improve to 36-28 on the season. He's been a ninth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats over his last six games, averaging 10.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Cleared to play Thursday
Carter (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Carter did not play in the Magic's 126-109 win over the Wizards on Tuesday due to right ankle soreness. The veteran center has been given the green light to return Thursday, which should bump Goga Bitadze out of the Magic's starting lineup. Carter has averaged 10.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 31.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Game-time call Thursday
Carter (ankle) participated in Thursday's morning shootaround, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter missed Tuesday's game against the Wizards and remains day-to-day with a questionable tag. From what it sounds like, both Carter and Anthony Black (quadriceps) could be game-time calls. If Carter is unable to play, Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner will likely pick up the slack.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Iffy for Thursday
Carter is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas with a sore left ankle.
Carter is in danger of missing consecutive outings with the ailment. Goga Bitadze would likely start at center if Carter is out again, with Moritz Wagner filling out the backup minutes in this case.
