EDGE Analysis

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.

Bane produced six points (3-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
For the sixth time this season, Bane was held to single-digit points. His usage rate fluctuates a lot in Orlando, but this can simply be chalked up to an off night during a tough matchup. For the season, Bane holds averages of 18.5 points, 4.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers.

Bane posted 37 points (14-24 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes during the Magic's 117-108 win over the Knicks during Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup.
EDGE Analysis
Bane and the Magic got off to a slow start to Tuesday's NBA Cup clash, but the sixth-year guard proceeded to score in double digits in each of the final three quarters of the game, including 15 points in the fourth, to help punch a ticket to the NBA Cup semifinals Saturday. Bane has scored exactly 37 points in three of his last six games, and he has opened his first year in Orlando averaging 19.0 points, 4.5 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals over 33.2 minutes per game.
