Magic's Cole Anthony: Explodes for 35 points Saturday
Cole Anthony closed with 35 points (13-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 win over the Heat.Anthony entered this game averaging career-low marks in several categories, including points (5.1) and assists (2.0) per game. However, he came out of nowhere to post a loaded stat line while finishing just one assist and two rebounds away from a triple-double. There's a strong chance this 35-point effort will end up being just a one-time thing for Anthony, but the five-year veteran could be in line to see more minutes in the coming games given how depleted the Orlando Magic are right now, particularly when it comes to the backcourt depth with Jalen Suggs (ankle) sidelined.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Full stat line off bench
Cole Anthony finished with 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Suns.Although it was rookie first-rounder Tristan da Silva who entered Orlando's starting lineup for the injured Franz Wagner (oblique), it was Anthony who absorbed the lion's share of Wagner's vacated playing time and supplied a full stat line Sunday. Anthony's 29 minutes were a season-high figure, and it would appear initially the 24-year-old guard will be one of the main beneficiaries of Wagner's indefinite absence after Anthony previously held an inconsistent role in the second unit thus far this season. Given the uncertainty surrounding head coach Jamahl Mosley's rotation on a nightly basis going forward, fantasy managers in most leagues should still take a wait-and-see approach before adding Anthony off waiver wires, but he's worth a speculative pickup in deep leagues for the time being.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Thrives off bench Monday
Cole Anthony registered 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 95-84 victory over the Hornets.Anthony tied his best scoring output of the season in Monday's low-scoring win, but fantasy managers shouldn't get overly enthusiastic about this performance. Anthony has scored in double digits twice this season and is averaging a modest 9.3 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances. Even as depleted as the Orlando Magic are right now, the fact that Anthony doesn't see more minutes off the bench is a testament to how deep he sits on the team's depth chart.

He made the most of his newfound minutes with a season-high mark of 16 points. Given his minimal role so far this season, fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outlier performance.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Minimal action in loss

Unless Anthony begins to receive more playing time, he is unlikely to garner significant fantasy interest.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Catches DNP-CD on Wednesday
Cole Anthony was a DNP-Coach's Decision for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.Per Sports Illustrated's Mason Williams, Anthony stated, "[I] wasn't playing that well, me and [Orlando Magic coach Jamahl Mosley] had a conversation. He keeps it a buck with me, I'm gonna keep it a buck with him. And I mean, this is what happens. It's a business, man." The guard has scored just eight points on 18.8 percent shooting to begin the season. As he's struggled, sophomores Anthony Black and Jett Howard have found more consistent run this season.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Limited run in loss
Cole Anthony recorded four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and one steal over eight minutes during Saturday's 124-111 loss to the Grizzlies.Anthony was efficient shooting the rock but saw only eight minutes of action Saturday. The 24-year-old's minutes have gradually decreased over the last three years, and the guard has taken a backseat to Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black three games into the 2024-25 season. Anthony is only expected to serve as a streaming option given Orlando's depth this season.

Magic's Cole Anthony: Productive off bench Monday
Cole Anthony delivered 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 14 minutes off the bench in Monday's 106-104 preseason loss to the Pelicans.Anthony didn't need a lot of minutes to make an impact off the bench in the preseason opener, and while his three-point shooting wasn't good, he still ended as one of three Orlando players with double-digit points. Anthony is expected to open the regular season as Jalen Suggs' primary backup at point guard, but that role shouldn't translate to a lot of fantasy upside outside of very deep formats and dynasty leagues.

With Gary Harris (hamstring) unavailable, Anthony slid into a larger role. That could stick for Game 7 should Harris remain sidelined.
