Bacon totaled 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal in a 115-110 win over the Pelicans on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon made his fourth straight start and finished as one of six Magic players with double-digit points. He bounced back from Tuesday's quiet eight-point effort to notch his fourth double-figure scoring performance in his past five games. Bacon is posting a career-best 10.4 points per game this season, though his 40.3 percent mark from the field leaves much to be desired.

Bacon had 26 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and an assist across 33 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon has started in Orlando's last two games and surpassed the 15-point mark in both contests, and that could well become his floor during the rest of the season as long as he remains in the starting five. Bacon has already scored 20 or more points three times this season, with Sunday's 26 points marking a season high.

Bacon will start Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

In the Magic's first post-trade-deadline contest, Bacon will get the start in a depleted rotation. In 26 prior starts this season, he's averaged 11.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 28.3 minutes.

Bacon will come off the bench Thursday against the Knicks, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Evan Fournier (groin) and Aaron Gordon (ankle) returning to the starting five, Bacon will be shifted to the bench. In 13 appearances off the pine this season, he's averaged 8.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 19.2 minutes.

Bacon scored nine points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding six rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

The Magic struggled massively and Bacon ended being one of the team's highest scorers in a game where only two Orlando players -- Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross -- scored in double digits. Bacon was coming off back-to-back games with at least 15 points, and while he'll never be a go-to player on offense for the Magic, he's been serviceable in recent weeks. The fact that he's also started Orlando's last six contests gives him a decent floor when it comes to his playing time as well, as he has logged at least 30 minutes in five games in a row.

Bacon produced 15 points (5-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 33 minutes in Friday's 104-77 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Throughout the season, Bacon has bailed the MAgic out with several standout performances with solid shooting and support at multiple positions. He's probably the biggest beneficiary of Aaron Gordon's absence despite spending most of its time at the two or three. He started at shooting guard due to Terrence Ross's absence, but he will platoon with multiple players to fill the gaps until Ross and Gordon return to the lineup.

Bacon contributed 21 points (6-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes Thursday during the loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to Thursday's performance, Bacon had seen his point total drop in three straight games since being inserted to the starting lineup. He's had times this year where he's shown the ability score but outside of that, he doesn't provide much else fantasy-wise. He's grabbed five or more rebounds in a game just four times this season while topping out at four assists, a mark he's hit thrice this season.

Bacon will remain in the starting five for Thursday's game against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

While the Magic will get Aaron Gordon (ankle) back, they'll still be without a number of key contributors, including both Evan Fournier (groin) and Terrence Ross (knee). As a result, Bacon will remain in the lineup at shooting guard, while Al-Farouq Aminu and Gordon start at the forward spots.

Bacon ended with 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 29 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon got the start Saturday with James Ennis (calf) on the shelf, and the former second-round pick took advantage of the opportunity -- he finished as one of five Orlando players that scored in double digits despite the loss. Bacon has scored in double digits in eight of his last 11 outings, though he has scored 10 or more points in each of his last seven starts.

Bacon will start Saturday's game against the Jazz, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With James Ennis (calf) on the shelf, Bacon will join the starting five. In 20 previous starts this season, he has averaged 11.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.4 minutes.
