Magic's Goga Bitadze: Misses out on double-double
Bitadze finished with 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to Houston.
Bitadze logged more minutes than starting center Wendell Carter (19) in Wednesday's loss. Bitadze capitalized on this increased playing time by scoring his second-most points in a game this season. If the 25-year-old big man continues to play at least 20 minutes a contest, his fantasy value will increase.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Downward trend continues
Bitadze logged two points (2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 114-113 loss to the Raptors.
Bitadze was a non-factor again, continuing what has been a rapid fall from grace. After assuming the starting center role earlier in the season, Bitadze has been reduced to playing limited minutes off the bench behind Wendell Carter. He has scored a total of just 11 points over the past four games, adding three combined steals and blocks.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Playing time increases
Bitadze provided two points (1-2 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 112-111 victory over the Spurs.
Bitadze played more than 25 minutes for the first time since returning from injury, indicating that his spot as the starting center could be safe after all. Although his production left much to be desired, the increased playing time is encouraging. Look for him to deliver a better performance when the Magic host the Hawks on Monday.

Although the Magic rank as one of the worst rebounding teams in the league, they managed to outpace the Warriors off the glass 52-45, due in large part to Bitadze's effort. Through 40 games, the big man is averaging 9.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.9 blocks.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Approaches double-double in return
Bitadze (concussion) tallied 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes off the bench in Monday's 125-119 double-overtime loss to the Heat.
Though he had started in each of his prior 33 appearances, Bitadze was deployed as the backup center behind Wendell Carter on Monday as he made his return from a six-game absence due to a concussion. Poor free-throw shooting aside, Bitadze produced well during his time on the court, but it's unclear if he'll recapture his spot in the starting five and poach more playing time from Carter, who logged 36 minutes Monday. The Magic were without star power forward Paolo Banchero due to an oblique tear for all 33 of Bitadze's previous starts, and head coach Jamahl Mosley may prefer Carter's fit on the top unit with a now-healthy Banchero.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Clears protocol, available Monday
Bitadze (concussion) is available for Monday's matchup against Miami, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Bitadze missed Orlando's last seven games, but he took part in the team's morning shootaround and officially cleared the concussion protocol ahead of Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Bitadze has started in 33 of his 36 appearances this season, but most of those starts came while power forward Paolo Banchero was sidelined with an oblique tear.
