Jalen Suggs Injury Update: February 3 vs. the Warriors

By: Zach Thompson

The Orlando Magic take on the Warriors in Golden State in one of the two games on the late slate on DraftKings. Orlando listed point guard Jalen Suggs ($7,600) as questionable for the matchup but downgraded him to doubtful on Monday afternoon.

Suggs is dealing with a quad injury that will likely cost him a fourth straight game. He sustained the injury against the Pistons on Jan. 25, which was his first game back after a 10-game absence due to a back injury.

When he has been available for the Magic, Suggs has posted excellent numbers, averaging 31.2 fantasy points in 28.4 minutes per game in his 35 games on 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

With Suggs out so long, Cole Anthony ($6,000) has been carrying the load at point guard and has a high ceiling despite his volatility. He had 23 points and 42.25 fantasy points against the Jazz on Saturday. Anthony Black ($4,400) should also get more minutes for as long as Suggs is out while Franz Wagner ($8,400) has more playmaking responsibilities and Paolo Banchero ($8,600) carries as much usage as he’s able to handle.
