Bane did a bit of everything in the win Tuesday night on both sides of the floor. That included scoring 17 of his points in the second half alone.

Shouldering a heavier offensive load with teammates Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (hip) sidelined, Desmond Bane extended his recent scoring tear during Monday's loss to Golden State. The guard finished with 20 points on 8-of-16 shooting, contributing across the box score with four rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a pair of threes.

Fantasy Impact

This marks the fourth time this season Bane has strung together back-to-back 20-point outings, coming on the heels of a 32-point explosion against Utah on Saturday. He has been performing at a third-round level in eight-category leagues over the last two weeks and will look to cap off the road trip with another high-volume performance when the Magic visit Portland on Tuesday.
