Sun Apr 13 | 12:00 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Available On Sunday |
Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will play on Sunday against the Hawks. KCP didn't suit up on Friday night versus the Indiana Pacers. However, he'll be out there for the regular-season finale. It's tough to say how much action Caldwell-Pope will get, considering the Magic are locked into the Play-In. Still, his availability should lower the ceiling of Gary Harris, who had 10 points as a starter on Friday. |

Fri Mar 14 | 19:06 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Resting Against Timberwolves |
Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) will take off Friday night and won't be in the lineup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran is being rested for the second leg of a back-to-back. Tristan da Silva is set to start Friday's game in Caldwell-Pope's place. The starting role will boost da Silva's fantasy value, although his numbers have only slightly increased when he has been part of the starting group this season. In 35 starts, the 23-year-old rookie has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. |

Thu Feb 6 | 19:42 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Available On Thursday |
Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. There was some uncertainty if Caldwell-Pope would suit up for both games of the back-to-back set. It appears that the veteran guard is feeling good enough to play after playing 22 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that Caldwell-Pope will have his normal role in the rotation, but he's really only offering low-end value right now. |

Sat Feb 1 | 14:51 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope May Rest On Saturday |
Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Utah. The veteran isn't injured. But he may get the night off to rest before likely returning for Monday's game at Golden State. With Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) also uncertain to suit up against the Jazz, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony could find themselves in the starting lineup, enhancing their fantasy value. But Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, who took nearly half of Orlando's 81 shot attempts in Thursday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, should continue to benefit the most on the scoring end if KCP and Suggs aren't available. |

Wed Jan 15 | 19:13 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Returns To Action Wednesday |
Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's battle against Milwaukee. He's back after missing one game due to a left knee strain. The veteran will likely bump Caleb Houstan back to the second unit. Before injuring his knee last week, Caldwell-Pope was enjoying his best stretch of the season with some hot outside shooting. However, with Paolo Banchero back in the lineup, Caldwell-Pope will have a reduced role on offense and may fall short of fantasy expectations. |

Tue Jan 14 | 17:48 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable For Wednesday |
According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel,Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope(knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Caldwell-Pope sat out Sunday's game with Philadelphia due to a strained left knee. However, the 31-year-old did practice on Tuesday, potentially meaning he could be good to go versus the Bucks on Wednesday. If Caldwell-Pope is unavailable, the spotlight will be on Caleb Houstan, who will likely start. As a starter, Houstan has been averaging 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.0 in 24.8 minutes during five contests in the 2024-2025 campaign. |

Sun Jan 12 | 17:52 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Ruled Out Sunday |
Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday. A knee issue limited Caldwell-Pope to 11 minutes in Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Still, he appeared to be on track to play on Sunday when the team listed him as probable on the initial injury report. However, the veteran has been ruled out for the contest ahead of tip-off. Caleb Houstan will fill in for Caldwell-Pope in the starting lineup. Houstan recently enjoyed a four-game stint as a starter but didn't offer much fantasy-wise. He averaged 7.3 points and 1.8 rebounds across 24.5 minutes in that role. |

Sat Jan 11 | 20:03 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Listed As Probable For Sunday |
Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will likely be available for Sunday's contest against Philadelphia, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. Left knee soreness forced Caldwell-Pope to make an early exit against Milwaukee on Friday, but it seems that it is not a serious issue for the veteran. Due to limited action, Caldwell-Pope posted only three points on Friday, but he has had plenty of offensive success since the calendar flipped. The two-time NBA champion is shooting 48.3 percent from three-point range in January, averaging 11.5 points. |

Fri Nov 22 2024 | 20:12 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope No Longer On Injury Report |
Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) is off the injury report and will be available for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons after missing one game. The 31-year-old has had an inconsistent season. He plays significant minutes, averaging 29.9 per game, but has scored in double figures only twice in his last eight games. His struggles from beyond the arc, shooting just 22.9 percent from three-point range, have been concerning, and fantasy managers will be hoping he can turn his shooting around as the season progresses. |

Thu Nov 21 2024 | 17:20 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Out On Thursday Night |
Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) is out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 31-year-old has struggled in his first 16 games with the Magic, averaging only 6.9 points and shooting 22.9% from deep. Still, he should break out of his funk at some point. With that in mind, KCP's next chance to play will be on Saturday versus the visiting Pistons. In the meantime, Gary Harris or Anthony Black may slide into the starting lineup. However, Black is a safer fantasy option on Thursday night, regardless of his role. |

Sun Jun 30 2024 | 21:52 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Inking A Deal With Orlando |
Free-agent guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope agreed to a three-year, $66 million contract with the Orlando Magic. The veteran has spent the last two seasons with the Denver Nuggets and was instrumental in helping the team capture an NBA title in 2022-23. He finished last season by averaging 10.1 points and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 40.6% from behind the arc. Orlando needed a reliable shooting guard, and Caldwell-Pope's championship experience could help the team advance deep into the postseason in 2024-25. His durability and efficiency from deep should continue to make him an attractive commodity for fantasy managers, especially those participating in category formats. |

Sun Jun 23 2024 | 17:58 | 76ers, Magic Could Target Kentavious Caldwell-Pope |
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope may be on the Magic and 76er's radars. But first, he must decline his $15.4 million player option. TNT's Chris Haynes reported that KCP might decline his player option if he doesn't reach an extension agreement with the Nuggets before the deadline. However, even if he reaches unrestricted free agency, both sides could still work things out, although Philadelphia and Orlando have the cap space needed to make an enticing offer. The 31-year-old has played in Denver for the last two seasons, appearing in 76 games in each of them. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 10.1 points and shooting 40.6% from behind the arc. Caldwell-Pope will likely remain a starter wherever he ends up moving ahead, which isn't bad for fantasy purposes, even if he's not the most consistent producer. |

Sat Jun 22 2024 | 12:05 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Drawing Interest From Multiple Teams |
According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will likely decline his player option if he doesn't agree on a contract extension with his current team. Haynes added that even if KCP declines, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll leave Denver. However, Caldwell-Pope will have a "plethora of teams at his doorstop" if he hits the open market. The 31-year-old has spent the last two seasons with the Nuggets, where he has been instrumental in the team's success. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 10.1 points and 1.3 steals while shooting 40.6% from behind the arc. With that said, if Caldwell-Pope stays in Denver, he'll have to fight with Nikola Jokic and the rest of the starters for scoring chances. Yet, if he lands on a new team for the 2024-25 season, his production could increase. |

Mon Jun 17 2024 | 09:12 | Nuggets "Concerned" Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Will Decline His Player Option |
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has had two solid years with the team but might land elsewhere for the 2024-25 campaign. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Nuggets are "concerned" that Caldwell-Pope will decline his $15.44 million player option and enter unrestricted free agency. It is believed that the two-time NBA champion could attract a similar deal to the one Bruce Brown signed with Indiana last summer when he left Denver on a two-year, $45 million contract. Caldwell-Pope, who turned 31 in February, posted 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists with 40.6 percent three-point shooting in 2023-24. |

Sat May 25 2024 | 19:31 | Nuggets May Not Re-Sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope |
According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Nuggets may be unable to re-sign guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. While Denver would like to keep him on the roster, some project a deal that could exceed $20 million per year, something the Nuggets may not entertain due to tax purposes. The 31-year-old suited up for the Pistons, Lakers, and Wizards before landing in Denver, where he's played arguably the best basketball of his career. With that in mind, Caldwell-Pope hasn't been a consistently reliable fantasy option, although his durability gives him value in any format. |

Thu May 9 2024 | 23:06 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable For Game 3 |
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (abdomen) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Minnesota. The Nuggets are down two games in this series, so the abdominal contusion likely won't be enough to keep him out of the lineup. While KCP has logged heavy minutes during the playoffs, he averaged just 8.4 points in the previous series versus the Lakers. Caldwell-Pope has played worse against the Timberwolves, so he's not a recommended DFS option for Game 3 and beyond, although he can get hot whenever he's on the floor. |

Thu Apr 11 2024 | 20:29 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Likely To Suit Up On Friday |
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (shoulder) is anticipated to play in Friday's game in San Antonio. KCP has played as well as expected during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 10.1 points and shooting 40.7% from behind the arc. He also hasn't missed much time, so the shoulder injury shouldn't keep him off the floor versus the Spurs. Unfortunately, Caldwell-Pope scored only four points in each of his previous two games against San Antonio, so DFS managers should think twice before putting him in their lineups. |

Mon Mar 4 2024 | 20:58 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Set To Return On Tuesday |
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It looks like Caldwell-Pope is back in the mix after sitting out of Saturday's game due to personal reasons. Christian Braun received the start in his place but didn't do much with the additional playing time. In fact, Justin Holiday actually outplayed him, but neither are reliable fantasy options with Caldwell-Pope back in action on Tuesday. |

Sat Mar 2 2024 | 19:27 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Downgraded To Out |
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets could be shorthanded here with Jamal Murray (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. Justin Holiday figures to fill the spot in the starting five left by Caldwell-Pope. Despite the extra minutes, Holiday doesn't offer great streaming value. He has a limited ceiling and isn't even an above-average option on a small-slate night like Saturday. |

Fri Mar 1 2024 | 23:01 | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Listed As Questionable Against Lakers |
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) is listed as questionable before Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Nuggets Jamal Murray (ankle) is also doubtful. Christian Braun and Peyton Watson could log more minutes at guard should both players be unavailable. Caldwell-Pope will be missed if unavailable, as he registered 20 points in one matchup against Los Angeles on October 21st. He's averaging 10.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 55 regular season contests. |
