Aaron Gordon (injury management) out Friday for Magic in second leg
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (left ankle injury management) will not play Friday against the San Antonio Spurs.
What It Means:
Gordon only played 14 minutes Thursday in his return from a multi-game absence and he will be held out on the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back. Evan Fournier (groin), Terrence Ross (knee), and James Ennis (calf) are all still out, so the Magic will likely lean heavily on Nikola Vucevic once again. Gary Clark is a candidate to join Dwayne Bacon and the rest of the starting lineup.
numberFire's models prefer Al-Farouq Aminu and Michael Carter-Williams as value options for Friday's seven-game slate. Aminu is our top overall value at the power forward position while MCW is among our top-five options at point guard. Aminu has a salary of $3,500 and is projected for 19.9 FanDuel points while MCW has a salary of $4,900 with a projection of 26.6 FanDuel points.
