Harris (hip) is listed as available to play Sunday against the Heat.
Harris won't start Sunday but will come off the bench for the season finale. He's averaging just 7.6 points per game since the beginning of March and will return after missing the team's previous two contests, though his involvement will be determined by the flow of the game since the Magic's lottery odds are still in flux.

Magic's Gary Harris: Now listed as questionable
Rotowire
Harris (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.
Harris sat out Thursday's loss to Cleveland and was initially ruled out for Friday's game, along with the rest of Orlando's starters, but it appears those players now have a chance to suit up in Brooklyn. Before his absence, Harris had appeared in 13 straight games (all starts) and averaged 7.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes during that stretch.

Magic's Gary Harris: Sticks with starters Tuesday
Rotowire
Harris provided three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-108 loss to Memphis.
Harris continues to start for the Magic, despite the fact he has scored double-digits only twice in the past eight games. While it makes very little sense on the surface, it does appear as though Harris might hold down the starting position for the remainder of the season. While this certainly doesn't make him a 12-team asset, it does cut into the opportunities for players like Jalen Suggs.

Magic's Gary Harris: Leading scorer in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Harris logged a team-high 22 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 122-112 victory over Washington.
After scoring in single digits in four straight games and eight of his last 10, Harris suddenly broke out, scoring more than 20 points for the first time since late January. The 28-year-old's six threes also tied his season high. Despite his mediocre production, he's remained a threat from the outside, shooting 45.7 percent (21-for-46) over the last seven contests since returning from a minor hip injury. Without more consistent usage, however, Harris will be little more than a bargain DFS dart throw.

Rotowire
Harris (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Suns and will be in the starting lineup, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Magic's Gary Harris: Questionable Thursday
Rotowire
Harris is questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns due to soreness in his right hip flexor.
This is the same injury that required Harris to miss a couple games at the beginning of March, and with Orlando sitting on a record of 28-41, there's not much incentive for the veteran to push through the pain. If Harris is forced to the sidelines, Jalen Suggs could get the spot start, and there would be more minutes available for Cole Anthony.

Magic's Gary Harris: Fails to assert himself in loss
Rotowire
Harris notched three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 loss to San Antonio.
Despite garnering his usual starting role, Harris took just three shots during Tuesday's blowout loss, tying his season low. The veteran shooting guard has topped the double-digit threshold just three times over his past 11 appearances and is averaging 7.4 points on 37.3 percent shooting during that stretch.

Rotowire

Harris returned from a two-game absence due to left adductor soreness and scored in double figures for just the sixth time since Nov. 28. His return sent Jalen Suggs to a reserve role, but Suggs was still able to submit a quality performance off the bench. Harris has started 27 straight appearances and is averaging 8.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.3 minutes during that stretch.

Magic's Gary Harris: Offers modest production Friday
Rotowire
Harris totaled nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 117-106 win over the Hornets.
Harris continues to start for the Magic, a move that appears more baffling with each passing game. While he was able to post modest production on both ends of the floor, the long-term goal remains puzzling. As long as he is starting, Harris can have limited value in deeper formats, but as for standard leagues, he can remain safely on the waiver wire.

Magic's Gary Harris: Offers limited numbers as starter
Rotowire
Harris had six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 loss to Toronto.
Harris looks as though he'll continue to serve as the Magic's starting shooting guard, but he's reached 30 minutes on two occasions all season and should cede considerable playing time at the position to the likes of Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony (wrist). The stability of Harris' role is enough to give him some value in very deep leagues, but his fantasy upside isn't high while he typically serves as little more than a spot-up shooter on offense.

Magic's Gary Harris: Limited output in return
Rotowire
Harris posted six points (2-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Saturday's overtime loss to the Heat.
Harris returned from a one-game absence due to a groin injury, but he wasn't sharp and struggled massively from the field in what turned out to be an overtime loss for Orlando. The veteran guard has been struggling of late, posting 7.4 points per game on 35.5 percent shooting from the field over five outings this month.
