Fantasy Impact:

Fultz came off the bench for the Magic in 7-out-8 seeding games in Orlando, drawing the start in their last game. Coach Clifford said that inserting Fultz back in the starting lineup was “all planned out beforehand,” but needed to regain his conditioning as a result of testing positive for COVID-19 in early July. With news of Fultz re-joining the starting unit, it should bode well for his fantasy production, though he faces a tough Bucks defense in their first-round matchup beginning on Tuesday.
