Cain exited Monday's 123-107 win over the Pistons in the second quarter due to a left calf contusion and did not return, finishing with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Cain checked out with 8:29 remaining in the second quarter and never checked back in after being deemed doubtful to return. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves until Orlando offers an update on his status.

Cain totaled eight points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 138-127 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Cain was coming off a strong 17-point showing Wednesday against the Hawks, but he was unable to replicate that type of offensive production Friday night. Still, he managed to contribute across the board, which included dishing out a season-high four assists. Cain is averaging 9.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists over his last five matchups, all off the bench.

Cain isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Cain drew a spot start Tuesday against the Cavs and took full advantage, as he put up 17 points in 32 minutes. However, he'll retreat to his usual bench role Thursday with Jalen Suggs back from an illness.

Cain finished Tuesday's 136-131 loss to the Cavaliers with 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Cain moved into the starting lineup, dropping a season-high 17 points, albeit in a losing effort. With both Jalen Suggs (illness) and Anthony Black (abdomen) sidelined yet again, Cain was given the starting nod for the first time this season, and certainly made the most of his opportunity. While we aren't running to add him, he is a name to watch, just in case this performance leads to an increased role moving forward.

Cain agreed to a standard contract with the Magic on Friday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
After joining Orlando on a one-year, two-way deal in July, Cain has been upgraded to a standard contract and will be eligible to play in the postseason. The 27-year-old forward has averaged 3.5 points and 1.1 rebounds in 8.0 minutes per contest across 27 appearances this season. He has logged double-digit minutes in four straight games and could remain in the rotation in the short term while Franz Wagner (ankle), Anthony Black (abdomen) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) are sidelined.

Cain provided two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Cain remained in the rotation, logging double-digit minutes for the second straight game. After spending the majority of the season on the bench, Cain has been handed a role of late, albeit a limited one. Despite the uptick in playing time, there is no reason to consider him a viable fantasy asset at this point.

Cain ended with one point (1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across nine minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 victory over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Cain remained in the rotation during the blowout win, logging minutes for the fourth time in the Magic's past five games. To this point, he has offered nothing in terms of tangible production, scoring a total of just eight points during that five-game span. He can safely be left on the waiver wire in all formats.

The Magic signed Cain to a two-way contract Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After not receiving a qualifying offer from the Pelicans, Cain became an unrestricted free agent, which ultimately led to him joining his new squad. He began his NBA career with the Heat before playing for New Orleans during the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaged 4.8 points and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 45.9 percent from the floor and 33.6 percent from beyond the arc across 81 regular-season games in three campaigns in the league.
