Key Storylines

Cole Anthony is back on rotation: The point guard was featured for 19 minutes in Tuesday’s match against the Spurs after missing seven games since the middle of March. This will bump down Anthony Black’s and Cory Joseph’s production, and if the two continue to share minutes, their value won’t be the most appealing unless one catches fire throughout the game. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a 23-point and three-steal performance against San Antonio, but outside of that, the Magic remain a tough spot to stream at the moment.

Last man standing: Washington continues to go through an injury epidemic, as Khris Middleton (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (ankle), Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring), Marcus Smart (finger), Kyshawn George (ankle), Corey Kispert (thumb) and Richaun Holmes (shoulder) are either all out or in doubt to play the second half of the back-to-back. There’s four clear options to stream currently out of this roster: Bub Carrington, Justin Champagnie, Tristan Vukcevic and AJ Johnson.

All four offer different skill sets and consistency levels, but they all have one thing in common with all those injuries in the Wizards: they’re playing 30-plus minutes on Thursday.

Stream of the Game

Tristan Vukcevic has been as solid as possible in the past few games, but I’m very tempted in AJ Johnson’s potential.

Alternatives: AJ Johnson (points, 3s, assists), Bub Carrington (points, rebounds, assists), Justin Champagnie (3s, rebounds, steals), Cole Anthony (points, 3s, assists), Wendell Carter Jr. (points, rebounds), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (3s, steals).
