On Monday, the Orlando Magic announced that centerGoga Bitadze(concussion) is available to suit up against the Miami Heat. Bitadze had missed seven consecutive contests due to a concussion. He was at the team's shootaround on Monday and has cleared the NBA's concussion protocol. The 35-year-old has been a starter in 33 of the 36 games he's played in this season. However, it is unclear if he will replace Wendell Carter in tonight's starting lineup.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) is questionable to face the Heat on Monday night. He played only 12 minutes against the 76ers on January 12, exiting prematurely because of a hip injury. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old has been sidelined for Orlando's previous six contests due to concussion-like symptoms. But the questionable designation at least suggests Bitadze is moving in a positive direction, so it appears he has a chance of returning at some point during the Magic's six-game road trip. While he is sidelined, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging 8.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in 25 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, will likely continue to fill the spot in the rotation.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Saturday against Detroit. The 25-year-old exited the January 12 meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers because of a hip injury. However, he also developed concussion-like symptoms, keeping him off the floor for Orlando's previous five games. Bitadze was questionable, so it appears he could be close to returning. But for now, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging 8.6 points and 7.9 rebounds in 24 starts this season, will fill Bitadze's spot in the rotation.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man has missed each of the last five games due to a concussion. The fact that Bitadze is tagged as questionable gives some hope that he'll be able to return to the court here. If not, Wendell Carter Jr. figures to continue seeing big minutes in the rotation. Carter has played 30 minutes or more in four of the last five games. During that span, Carter has finished with a double-double in three of those contests. He's worth rostering with the Magic banged up at the center spot right now.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Thursday against Portland. The 25-year-old will now miss a fifth-straight contest. It's unknown how long he'll be on the shelf. But until Bitadze is back in the equation, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging 8.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 23 starts this season, will presumably continue to fill the hole in the lineup versus a Blazers squad that has had issues stopping opposing centers.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion) is doubtful for Thursday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man from Georgia will likely remain out for a fifth consecutive game after landing in concussion protocol. Wendell Carter Jr. has been his replacement in the starting unit. The 25-year-old has averaged a double-double over the last four games, posting 13.3 points and 10.5 rebounds, along with 3.0 assists. Portland allows the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing centers, meaning Carter Jr. is in a good position to continue his strong run Thursday night.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old exited a recent meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers because of a hip contusion. However, he also began developing concussion-like symptoms, keeping him off the floor for Orlando's previous two contests. Without Bitadze in the equation, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging a decent 8.5 points and 7.7 rebounds in 21 starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the lineup against a Nuggets squad that has struggled on the defensive end this season.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Friday night against Boston. He exited Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers because of a hip contusion and was kept off the floor for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. However, head coach Jamahl Mosley indicated Bitadze had "some late symptoms," so the team will monitor him. Without him, Wendell Carter Jr., amassing 12 points, 10 boards, and two steals versus Milwaukee, will likely handle things in the middle once again, with Jonathan Isaac coming in for relief. With that said, the Celtics are one of the best defensive teams in the National Basketball Association, meaning both players could have issues producing on Friday night.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (hip) won't play on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. The 25-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 9.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. Unfortunately, he was injured in the Magic's recent loss to the 76ers, exiting after only 12 minutes of work. Without Bitadze, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging 7.9 points and 7.5 rebounds in 19 starts this season, has streaming potential for fantasy managers.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. The 25-year-old has had an excellent season, averaging career-highs in points (9.6), rebounds (8.2), and blocks (1.6). He exited Sunday's game versus Philly after logging just 12 minutes of action and is now in danger of missing Wednesday's contest because of a hip contusion. If Bitadze doesn't suit up, Wendell Carter Jr., averaging 7.9 points and 7.5 rebounds in 19 starts this season, could find himself holding things down in the middle. However, Carter could have a tough time getting things going against a Milwaukee team that has played well on the defensive end this season.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) will return to action in Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He's back after missing Tuesday's game against the Knicks with an ankle sprain. The Georgian big man opened the month with a 12-point, 13-rebound double-double against Brooklyn and has performed well since November. Last month, he averaged 9.4 points and 7.8 rebounds with 1.9 blocks. Philadelphia is tied for the second-lowest rebounding rate in the league, putting Bitadze in a solid position to produce another double-double on Wednesday.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He was a late scratch for Tuesday's NBA Cup action versus the Knicks and might have to sit out another one with an ankle sprain. Tristan Da Silva jumped into the starting unit on Tuesday. The 23-year-old rookie has seen quite regular action as a starter but hasn't been very effective, at least from a fantasy perspective. In 14 starts, da Silva has averaged 7.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. Meanwhile, Moritz Wagner had additional work without Bitadze, impressing with a 20-point, 12-rebound double-double off the bench. He might be a good fantasy option again on Wednesday if Bitadze doesn't return.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze will start in Friday's game versus the Pelicans. With Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) out again, Bitadze will remain with the first five. The 25-year-old has played well in his two starts this season, averaging 10.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals. While Bitadze's free-throw shooting could use some work, he remains a practical streaming option for fantasy managers against a New Orleans team plagued by injuries.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (foot) is set to play on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder after missing the last five games. With Wendell Carter Jr. sidelined due to a foot injury, Bitadze's return comes at a crucial time for the Magic. Although Bitadze will be available, Moritz Wagner is likely to handle the majority of the minutes at center. The Magic, sitting at a 3-4 record, will need all available bodies as they navigate the absence of star forward Paolo Banchero. Bitadze could be a valuable addition for fantasy managers looking for frontcourt depth.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (foot) has been listed as questionable for Friday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bitadze is dealing with a tendon strain in his left foot that has kept him out of Orlando's last two games. His potential absence likely won't affect much of Orlando's gameplan as the 25-year-old had yet to play more than seven minutes in any of the three games he's played in. If Bitadze is able to play his presence likely won't provide an fantasy value. Fantasy managers looking for an option at center off Orlando's bench should look towards the much more reliable Moritz Wagner, who's averaging 11 PPG and 4.4 RPG in just over 15 minutes per game.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (foot) has been labeled as questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Bulls. Bitadze missed his first game of the season Monday night versus Indiana due to a foot injury. He wasn't a big miss for the Magic, as the Georgian big man has averaged only 5.7 minutes for the campaign. Moritz Wagner gets some extra work with Bitadze out. He's averaging 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 15.0 minutes. The 27-year-old German could be a bit more productive on Wednesday night, as Chicago allows the eight-most points and the third-most rebounds to opposing benches in the league.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (foot) won't play in Monday's game versus the Indiana Pacers. The 2019 No. 18 overall pick hasn't done much this season, averaging 1.7 points and 1.7 rebounds. However, with Jonathan Isaac (hip) also ruled out, it could mean even more minutes for Moritz Wagner, who has averaged 11 points and four boards in Orlando's first three contests. With that in mind, Wagner could garner attention from fantasy managers in deeper fantasy setups. He'll also be an attractive DFS value option, even more so if Franz Wagner (illness) can't get on the floor.

Orlando Magic center/forward Goga Bitadze (foot) makes an early-season appearance on the injury report while he deals with a left foot injury of sorts. He's listed as questionable for the team's Monday night contest against the Indiana Pacers and could leave the Magic's frontcourt quite thin. Franz Wagner (illness) and Jonathan Isaac (hip) are also listed as questionable at this time. That leaves Wendell Carter Jr., Moritz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, and Jett Howard as possible options. The former three would all be viable as fantasy options.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has been under the weather, and he missed Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) was also unavailable, so Moritz Wagner moved into the starting lineup. He played well, amassing 19 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals. If Bitadze and Carter miss another game, Wagner remains a must-start in all fantasy leagues.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) is out on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is also out, joining Markelle Fultz (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle) on the shelf versus the defending champs. As a result, Moritz Wagner will slide into the starting lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 4.4 rebounds this season. However, he should see a significant increase in production on Friday, so he's worth streaming in all fantasy formats. He'll also make an ideal value option for those participating in DFS contests.
