Magic's Paolo Banchero: Scores 18 points in win
Paolo Banchero closed with 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 win over the Heat.While it was reported pregame that Banchero would remain on an unspecified minutes restriction in his third outing following a 10-game absence due to a groin strain, the star forward saw a significant bump in playing time during Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals victory. He finished as Orlando's third-leading scorer and hit multiple triples for a second consecutive contest. The Orlando Magic may continue to monitor the 23-year-old's minutes moving forward, though he appears to be trending in the right direction in terms of taking on a full workload on a regular basis.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Ramps up workload Sunday
Paolo Banchero finished with 16 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and two assists over 24 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks.After playing 20 minutes Friday in his return from a 10-game absence due to a groin issue, Banchero saw his workload tick up Sunday, and he responded by being a little more productive on offense, with his three three-pointers tying his season high. Jalen Suggs (leg) and Franz Wagner (lower leg) both left Sunday's game early and didn't return, and depending on the severity of their injuries, the Orlando Magic may not be able to afford to bring Banchero along as slowly as they'd like. In the 11 games prior to suffering his injury Nov. 12, Banchero had averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.0 threes and 1.6 combined steals and blocks, numbers the team might need him to start producing again as soon as possible.
