Bane totaled 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists and two rebounds over 24 minutes during the Magic's 120-112 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bane and the rest of the Magic starters did not play in the fourth quarter facing a 26-point deficit, as head coach Jamahl Mosley opted to stick with the bench during a furious comeback in the final frame that ultimately fell short. Bane's 24 minutes were his lowest since Nov. 4 against the Hawks (23 minutes), and sixth-year pro, along with fellow starters Paolo Banchero, Tristan da Silva, Anthony Black and Wendell Carter, will look to bounce back in the second leg of the Magic's back-to-back set Wednesday against the Nets.

Bane ended with 31 points (12-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old wing dialed up his first game with 30-plus points since Dec. 20, reaching the 30-point threshold for the fourth time since the beginning of December. Over 16 games during that stretch, Bane is averaging 20.5 points, 4.8 boards, 4.8 assists, 2.1 threes, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals per contest.

Bane racked up 18 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 112-110 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The former Grizzly is finding his rhythm with the Magic. Bane has scored at least 15 points in seven straight games, averaging 21.4 points, 5.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 blocks over that stretch.

Bane (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bane dealt with back spasms in Monday's loss to Toronto and was deemed questionable for Wednesday's contest. However, the 27-year-old swingman will shed that tag and keep his record of perfect attendance this season alive. The sixth-year pro has averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 blocks in 34.0 minutes per tilt across his last five games.

Bane (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Bane exited Monday's loss to Toronto with back spasms, though he was able to return at the end of the contest. The questionable tag suggests that he's considered day-to-day. If he's unable to give it a go Wednesday, Jase Richardson could see increased playing time in the backcourt.

Bane exited Monday's game against the Raptors due to back spasms but returned for the final few seconds of play.
EDGE Analysis
Bane exited Monday's game in the fourth quarter with 4:41 remaining and managed to check back in for the final play of the game. It'll be worth keeping a close eye on his availability leading up to Wednesday's clash against the Pacers.

Bane had 24 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), one rebound and six assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 127-126 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Bane didn't make a single three-pointer for the second straight game, as he also went 0-for-6 in the loss to the Hornets on Friday. However, that inefficiency didn't stop Bane from posting a solid stat line across the board. This was the fourth time Bane scored at least 20 points in his last five appearances, and he's firmly entrenched as one of the most reliable offensive weapons for the Magic. Bane has 20 or more points in six of his 12 appearances in December, so his fantasy upside would be even higher if he were able to deliver more consistency with his scoring numbers.

Bane notched 23 points (6-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Bane added three blocks and three steals to a productive offensive result in Tuesday's win. He was especially effective in the closing minutes, swatting a key shot as the Trail Blazers tried to hold onto a slim lead. Bane got the help he needed from the rest of the squad after an uninspired loss Monday night to the Warriors. With two of the year's final four games against the Pacers and Hornets, Bane should be able to finish 2025 strong against a couple of weak opponents.

Bane had 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Monday's 120-97 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Although Bane shot 50 percent from the floor and finished with a strong number, the loss of Franz Wagner (ankle) is putting a lot of undue pressure on Bane and the core of Orlando's first unit. The Magic have gone 2-3 without Wagner, and although Bane has averaged 23.6 points per game in his absence, the rest of the team hasn't offered the same level of support.

Bane racked up 32 points (13-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 128-127 overtime win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Bane sealed the victory with a driving layup to the basket with less than a second remaining in the overtime period. This was an excellent bounce-back performance from Bane, who was held to just six points on 3-for-11 shooting his last time out, and he also snatched a steal after failing to do so during Thursday's loss to the Nuggets. While there have been some low points, Bane has been mostly solid over the past month, flirting with top-50 value behind averages of 21.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.0 triples per contest.
