Anthony Black continued to shine amidst Orlando's injury woes, recording 19 points on efficient 8-of-12 shooting in Monday's loss to the Warriors. He filled out his line with six rebounds, three assists, one block, and a pair of three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact:
The third-year guard has now scored at least 19 points in three consecutive games—a streak that coincides exactly with Jalen Suggs' absence due to a hip injury. Already starting in place of Franz Wagner, Black has seamlessly absorbed the extra offensive usage created by Suggs' injury. Despite some struggles at the free-throw line, his expanded role has yielded top-100 value over the past week, making him a strong pickup in the 69% of Yahoo! leagues where he is still available.
