Rotowire

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Bounces back in win Sunday
Rotowire
Suggs closed with 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 victory over the Bulls.
Suggs was coming off seven straight outings in which he couldn't clear the 15-point mark, including back-to-back single-digit scoring efforts, but he bounced back in a big way here and played a prominent role on offense Sunday. However, the uptick in touches was also due to Franz Wagner leaving the game with an ankle sprain in the third quarter.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Struggles in loss Friday
Rotowire
Suggs logged eight points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 124-115 loss to Charlotte.
Suggs was a non-factor in the loss, and he was outplayed by Markelle Fultz on both ends of the floor. Despite being a must-roster player for the majority of the season, Suggs' fantasy ceiling remains limited. With very little room to move in terms of upside, he is not someone who needs to be prioritized down the stretch.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Efficient in win Monday
Rotowire
Suggs chipped in 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Monday's 104-103 win over Portland.
Suggs missed only three attempts from beyond the arc in what turned out to be a strong display on offense, and the Magic needed every point they could get since they defeated a struggling Blazers team by just one point. Suggs has scored exactly 15 points in three consecutive games, and even though the Orlando offense typically runs through Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, Suggs can be a dependable scorer when called upon.

Suggs registered 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over Washington.
It was the first time since early January that Suggs connected on five or more threes in a game. He provided a solid third option for the Magic on Wednesday alongside All-Star Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Suggs has upped his shooting efficiency from the field and from three-point range this season, though he won't see as many opportunities to score when sharing the floor with Banchero and Wagner.
