Jalen Suggs struggled offensively in Orlando’s win over the Wizards, scoring six points and missing all seven of his three-point attempts. However, his defensive prowess was on display with five steals, benefiting category-league and DFS managers. With three games scheduled for Week 3, including a Sunday/Monday back-to-back, Suggs may be limited to appearing in only two.

Jalen Suggs will return to the court for Saturday’s matchup against the Wizards after sitting out Thursday due to knee management. Anthony Black, who impressed with a 20-point performance in Suggs’ absence, is expected to return to his reserve role with Suggs resuming his starting position.

Jalen Suggs will miss Thursday’s game against the Hornets due to a knee issue, marking his continued precautionary absence in back-to-back situations. With Suggs sidelined, Tyus Jones and Anthony Black stand to see increased roles. Fantasy managers might consider Jones as a safer streaming option for bolstering guard depth.

Jalen Suggs, despite missing the preseason due to left knee surgery, will start in the season opener against the Heat, joining Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, and Wendell Carter Jr. While no formal minutes restriction is in place, Suggs might have limited playtime initially. Desmond Bane, acquired from Memphis, will also start, potentially impacting fantasy league strategies. Tyus Jones is set as the backup point guard and may be a valuable pick in deeper leagues.

The Orlando Magic are hopeful for Jalen Suggs’ return by opening night, following knee surgery in March. His successful recovery remains crucial, though GM Jeff Weltman cautioned there’s significant progress yet to be made. In Suggs’ potential absence, Anthony Black and newly added Tyus Jones are expected to see increased roles, with Jones emerging as a more reliable fantasy pick leading into October.
