    Bitadze closed Thursday's 105-99 loss to the Thunder with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes.

    Bitadze notched his third double-double over his last four appearances, and he continues to make the most of his opportunities on the offensive end, hitting 55.8 percent of his tries from the field over this brief hot stretch. He's putting together a solid month of December, averaging 11.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks over seven games. While Bitadze isn't a sure thing to log 30-plus minutes on a nightly basis, he's shown that he only needs 20-to-25 minutes to be productive across the board.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Double-doubles in loss

    Bitadze totaled 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee.

    Bitadze recorded his eighth double-double of the season in the loss. Orlando continues to roll with a jumbo frontcourt featuring Bitadze and Wendell Carter together, so there are plenty of reasons to like his fantasy upside going forward. In five December outings, Bitadze is averaging 12.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Grabs career-high 16 rebounds

    Bitadze produced 21 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Suns.

    Bitadze dominated the paint against a Suns team without rebounding machine Jusuf Nurkic (thigh) to protect the rim Sunday, collecting a career-high 16 boards en route to a big 20-point, 10-rebound double-double. Bitadze has stuck around in Orlando's starting lineup despite Wendell Carter Jr. recently returning to the fold in the frontcourt, with Bitadze averaging 11.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.9 minutes per contest over his last six games. As long as Bitadze is getting minutes in the mid-20s, the 25-year-old big man should remain a strong source of blocks and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Blocks five shots in win

    Bitadze supplied eight points (2-6 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 123-100 victory over the Nets.

    Bitadze continues to start despite the return of Wendell Carter, blocking a season-high five shots. Although his offense is somewhat sporadic, Bitadze has been a relatively consistent source of rebounds and defensive stats since moving into the starting lineup. Over the past month, he has averaged 9.4 points and 7.8 rebounds to go with 2.8 combined steals and blocks. Given the recent success. there is no reason to think he will shift to the bench anytime soon.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Fills stat sheet Wednesday

    Bitadze provided 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 133-119 victory over the Bulls.

    Bitadze was perfect from the floor and missed only one of his four attempts from the charity stripe in what was a strong showing for the six-year veteran. Bitadze has five double-doubles this season, and he's averaging 9.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks per game since being promoted to a starting role at the beginning of November. Even with Wendell Carter (foot) back in action, Bitadze has stuck in the starting lineup, and the Magic actually started both centers in Wednesday's win.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Grabs 15 boards in win

    Bitadze recorded seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 119-118 victory over the Lakers.

    Bitadze has proven to be a capable placeholder for Wendell Carter (foot), with an average of 9.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocked shots over 10 games as a starter. It's unclear when Carter will be cleared to play again, so Bitadze should continue to reap the benefits of an increased role.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Fills in with double-double

    Bitadze racked up 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 31 minutes during Monday's 109-99 victory over Phoenix.

    With Wendell Carter (foot) still sidelined, Bitadze continues to do a respectable job in the paint. He notched his fourth double-double of the season against a depleted Suns frontcourt. Bitadze warrants serious fantasy consideration with Carter unable to stay healthy and Paolo Banchero (oblique) potentially out for three more weeks.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Best game of year in double-double

    Bitadze notched 12 points (6-7 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 94-90 win over the Pacers.

    Bitadze put together his best performance of the season in Wednesday's victory, leading all players in rebounds while concluding as the lone Magic player with a double-double outing. Bitadze set a new season high in scoring while matching a season high in rebounds. He has now recorded a double-double in three contests this year, all of which have occurred over the last five outings.

  • Magic's Goga Bitadze: Fills stat sheet Friday

    Bitadze supplied 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 115-88 win over the Pelicans.

    Bitadze finished just one rebound shy of recording a second consecutive double-double. The big man is making the most of his newfound role in the first unit, scoring in double digits and grabbing at least nine boards in his three starts. He should remain in that role due to the health issues of players such as Wendell Carter (foot), Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) and Paolo Banchero (oblique) that are depleting the frontcourt.
