Tristan da Silva’s unexpected absence due to back spasms leaves Orlando adjusting its lineup against the 76ers. Having filled in for Jalen Suggs in recent games, his void now presents an opportunity for Tyus Jones and Jett Howard to step up, with Jones potentially offering more fantasy upside.

Tristan da Silva has been cleared to play against the Hornets on Friday after recovering from a shoulder injury. His return ends a four-game absence and will likely reduce the minutes and fantasy value of rookies Noah Penda and Jase Richardson, who filled in during his time on the sidelines. Da Silva’s availability should provide a boost to lineups needing depth this week.

Tristan da Silva is likely to return for Orlando’s Friday matchup against the Hornets after a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury. His return might decrease minutes for Jase Richardson, while rookie Noah Penda, who saw increased playing time in da Silva’s absence, remains a promising option in dynasty leagues.

Tristan da Silva has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Jazz due to a right shoulder contusion, marking his second consecutive absence. Jase Richardson is expected to continue receiving increased playing time, having played 19 minutes in the previous game against Denver. While Richardson may see more court action, his potential fantasy impact remains uncertain, making him more of a watch-list candidate at this time.

Tristan da Silva’s performance in Thursday’s game against the Hornets showed his potential as a valuable contributor off the bench, tallying 19 points, three steals, and three three-pointers. While backing up Franz Wagner limits his fantasy ceiling, Da Silva’s consistent scoring—reaching double figures in four of the first six games—makes him a potential deep-league asset. His effectiveness against the Hornets suggests that Saturday’s matchup with the Wizards might offer another opportunity for fantasy managers to capitalize on his skills.
