Paolo Banchero (illness) a game-time call Thursday for Orlando

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (illness) will be a game-time decision on Thursday against the Utah Jazz.

What It Means:

Banchero participated in the morning shootaround, so he might be able to return from a two-game absence on Thursday night. Goga Bitadze drew the first start and played 18 minutes, but then Caleb Houstan started on Tuesday and played 31 minutes.

numberFire's models project Banchero for 34.4 minutes and 39.0 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Magic's implied total (115.75) is No. 3 out of 12 teams on the Main slate.
