Ruled out for Sunday
Suggs (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
The Magic announced Thursday that a timeline on Suggs' return would depend on how he responds to treatment for a low back strain, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back set. After Sunday's contest, the Magic are off until Wednesday in Milwaukee, so if Suggs is able to practice Tuesday, he could get the green light to play against the Bucks. Cole Anthony is likely to start at point guard in Suggs' stead Sunday and makes for a good streaming option for fantasy managers looking for help in the points, three-pointers and assists categories.

Out indefinitely with back strain
The Magic announced Thursday that Suggs has been diagnosed with a low back strain following further revaluation, and his return to game action will depend on how he responds to treatment.
Analysis
Suggs has already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves after missing Orlando's last two contests due to the back injury he sustained on a hard fall to the court in this past Friday's 106-97 win over the Raptors. The Magic aren't providing a clear timeline for Suggs' return, but at the very least, fantasy managers should prepare for the young guard to remain out for both legs of the team's back-to-back set, which wraps up with a matchup with the Bucks on Friday. Cole Anthony has started at point guard in Suggs's stead in the past two games and should continue to benefit from elevated playing time in the short term.

Won't play Thursday
Suggs (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Despite participating in Wednesday's practice, Suggs will be unable to go for the Magic on Thursday due to a back strain. His next chance to play is Friday's game against the Bucks on the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back. In the star guard's absence, Cole Anthony should continue starting at point guard in a tough matchup against Minnesota.

Takes part in practice
Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs (back) was "just moving around a little bit" during Wednesday's practice, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. "Jalen's doing OK," Mosley said. "We're going to continue to evaluate him and see how he keeps responding to the different treatments that we're giving him."
Analysis
Based on Mosley's comments, Suggs didn't appear to be a full participant in practice, so the third-year guard is likely trending toward missing a third straight game Thursday versus the Timberwolves in the front end of a back-to-back set. Cole Anthony has served as Orlando's starting point guard in Suggs' stead the past two contests, averaging 18.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 32.5 minutes between those games. Anthony will make for an appealing streaming option Thursday, assuming Suggs remains out.

Won't play Monday
Suggs (back) won't play Monday against the Knicks.
Analysis
After picking up a back strain against Toronto on Friday, Suggs will be forced to miss his second straight contest. Anthony Black (back) was available Sunday against the Jazz but did not see the floor, but that's expected to change Monday. Cole Anthony will likely have a big role in the short term with Suggs sidelined.
