Goga Bitadze had been great starting for the injured Wendell Carter but then Goga went down with a concussion -- he's back tonight but after missing two weeks I have to think on a minutes limit and it appears as if Carter will remain the starter at least tonight.

Keep an eye on Miami to see if Jimmy Butler actually suits up. His most-recent suspension (two games) supposedly was to end after Saturday's game vs. the Nets. Butler or no Butler, however, Miami looks like a distracted team at the moment, with zig-zag results amid obvious chemistry issues with the Butler situation. It's also been almost a month since the Heat put together back-to-back spread covers as the offense continues to misfire. Meanwhile, we were waiting on another buy signal from Orlando now that Franz Wagner has joined Paolo Banchero back to active duty, and think we found it in Saturday's 121-113 win over the Pistons when each scored 32 in just their second game together since the end of October. Play Magic.

Tyler Herro has seen his usage increase with Jimmy Butler suspended and as a result his assist numbers have increased. While there is a possibility that Jimmy Butler returns to the lineup for this game as his suspension is over and hes off the injury report, I still think this is a high number for Herro even if Butler remains inactive. The Magic play at the slowest pace in the NBA, in addition to surrendering the fewest APG at just 22.3 per game. This game has a tiny total and if Butler plays this line will be 4.5 heavily weighted to the under.
