The Orlando Magic declined their $2.1 million team option on Caleb Houstan's contract Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Houstan is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the Magic declined his team option. Despite the declined option, the Magic retain his Bird rights, allowing them to exceed the salary cap to re-sign him if they choose. He appeared in 58 games last season, including six starts, averaging 4.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game.
Caleb Houstan totaled zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3PT, 0-0 FT), two rebounds, and no other stats in the Magic's 109-97 win over the Wizards.
Fantasy Impact
Houstan continues to play a minimal role in Orlando’s rotation, and that’s unlikely to change in the final days of the fantasy season. While he’s shown flashes of long-range ability in previous outings, Thursday’s line reaffirms his current status: a deep-bench contributor with no streaming value in Championship Week. Managers should keep him off the radar unless a major shift in opportunity emerges next year.
Caleb Houstan scored 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3P) in the Magic's 111-104 win over the Hornets on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Curiously, Houstan failed to record a stat of any kind other than points and personal fouls despite playing for 23 minutes. He's not someone we should be looking to play, especially at this stage of the season, so just let him do his thing while on the waiver wire.
Caleb Houstan is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Houstan is set to return after sitting out Monday's game against the Warriors. He remains off the fantasy radar.
Caleb Houstan scored 14 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3PT, 2-2 FT) while adding one rebound over 33 minutes in Orlando's loss. His efficient shooting from deep kept the Magic competitive during stretches of the game.
Fantasy Impact
Houstan’s sharpshooting from beyond the arc boosts his fantasy appeal in category leagues that value three-pointers. While his peripheral stats are limited, his scoring potential in a high-volume role could make him a streaming option in deeper leagues.
