Houstan isn't starting Thursday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Houstan started Tuesday's game against the Nets, but he'll retreat to the bench Thursday since Paolo Banchero (illness) has been cleared to return. Houstan has been an inconsistent part of Orlando's rotation in recent weeks, so it's unclear how much playing time he'll see now that most of the team's key contributors are back in action.

Houstan ended with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt) in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-100 victory over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Houstan was inserted into the starting lineup Wednesday with Markelle Fultz (rest), Jalen Suggs (groin) and Gary Harris (calf) all sidelined. Houstan's 25 minutes played were his most since Jan. 22 against the Cavaliers, but that didn't translate into more opportunities on the offensive end of the floor, though he was efficient with his shots. He figures to return to his bench role following the All-Star break.

Houstan will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Markelle Fultz (rest), Jalen Suggs (groin) and Gary Harris (calf) all out, Houstan and Anthony Black will move into the starting lineup, while Cole Anthony and Joe Ingles figure to see elevated roles off the bench. As a starter this season (seven games), Houstan has averaged 9.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.7 minutes, but that includes a 25-point outing (Jan. 7 versus Atlanta) and a scoreless performance (Jan. 19 versus Philadelphia).

Houstan won't start Sunday's game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Markelle Fultz, Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter returning to the starting lineup, Houstan, Chuma Okeke and Goga Bitadze will all head back to the bench. Across 26 appearances as a reserve, Houstan has averaged 4.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game.

Houstan contributed 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-12 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Houstan started a fourth consecutive game and reached double-digit points for the second time in that span, though fantasy managers need to temper the expectations with him. Houstan is only seeing minutes because of Orlando's overall lack of depth due to injuries, and he's been held to single digits in two of his four starts, suggesting he's not going to have a prominent role on offense even with expanded minutes.

Houstan totaled 25 points (8-15 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 overtime win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Houstan made a substantial impact in his first start of the season, exploding for a season-high 25 points and looking quite comfortable while logging heavy minutes with the first unit. Houstan might see an uptick in his fantasy value as long as he remains in the starting lineup, though that's only happening due to the absences of Franz Wagner (ankle) and Gary Harris (calf). His long-term projection continues to be a bench role.
