Bacon scored 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT) to go along with three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Bacon was out of the starting five for the first time in five games, though he still managed to top 30 minutes. He also found plenty of opportunity to get his shot up to score in double-digits for the third consecutive game. Bacon provides little else across the stat sheet, but he is able to provide some scoring uspide.

Bacon will come off the bench Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
With James Ennis (calf) returning to the starting five, Bacon will resume a bench role. In 20 games as a reserve this season, he's averaged 8.1 points and 2.5 rebounds in 19.1 minutes.

Bacon had 20 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and two steals in Sunday's loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his fourth straight start, Bacon saw 32 minutes and turned in his second 20-point effort in the last week. With a few regulars injured, Bacon could continue to see increased minutes over the next couple of games, but he doesn't contribute much, fantasy-wise, outside of occasional scoring outbursts.

Bacon scored 22 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT) while adding three rebounds, three steals and two assists over 33 minutes during the 114-110 loss to the Rockets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Filling in for the injured James Ennis (calf), Bacon led the team in points, field goals made and free throws made. Bacon has been an up-and-down scorer for the Magic all season long but doesn't add much fantasy value anywhere else. Up next for the Magic is a Tuesday matchup against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis
Bacon had come off the bench in the last two contests, but he'll rejoin the starting lineup with James Ennis (calf) sidelined. Bacon has averaged 9.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game in his last five appearances.

Bacon notched 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes in Monday's loss against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
The Magic looked overmatched for the second game in a row and Bacon was far from being an effective player on offense, as he needed 14 shots to record 14 points, but he still ended as Orlando's third-highest scorer. Bacon has been struggling badly on offense of late, but this performance still represents a step in the right direction for the 2017 second-round pick since he was coming off four straight single-digit scoring performances.

Bacon notched seven points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Orlando suffered a 37-point loss against Milwaukee in a game where not a single Magic starter scored in double digits, but Bacon still found a way to contribute on both ends of the court. His shooting struggles conspired against him in this one, but that has been a major issue for the 2017 second-round pick, as he entered this game shooting just 33.3 percent from the field over his previous five appearances. Bacon will remain in the starting lineup and has potential, but the fact that he has scored in single digits in each of his last four appearances as a starter doesn't bode well for him, especially if opposing defenses will start focusing on him a bit more down the stretch.

Bacon logged 13 points (5-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds across 37 minutes in Saturday's 137-91 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Bacon missed all five of his three-point attempts, which contributed to his 33 percent conversion rate in the lopsided loss. While it was a regression for most of the starting five, it was especially true for Bacon, who is a shot-dependent producer and doesn't do much in the secondary categories.
