Isaac will not play Saturday against the Pacers due to left knee injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac is coming off his best performance of the season, posting 10 points, seven boards, two steals, one block and one assist in 16 minutes against the Pistons. He'll likely continue getting rest days throughout the season, but fantasy managers in deep formats who need defensive stats can consider adding the forward. The Florida State product has at least one defensive stat in every game this season, averaging 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks in 11.3 minutes.

Isaac (knee) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac sat out the Magic's final game before the break, which was the second half of a back-to-back. He's yet to play more than 14 minutes in a game, but the forward appeared in six straight before his Valentine's Day absence, averaging 3.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 11.8 minutes.

Isaac will sit out Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to left knee injury management, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac wasn't included on Orlando's initial injury report for Tuesday, but he'll end up sitting out the second leg of the back-to-back set after all, as was the case the Magic previously encountered a back-to-back set Jan. 27 and 28 shortly after the forward made his season debut. Look for head coach Jamahl Mosley to turn to either Chuma Okeke or Caleb Houstan to fill Isaac's spot in the rotation as a backup forward.

Isaac isn't listed on the Magic's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors and appears on track to play.
EDGE Analysis
If Isaac suits up, it would mark the first time he's played both legs of a back-to-back set since he returned to the court in late January following a nearly two-and-a-half-year layoff from NBA action. The Magic haven't made a major effort to have Isaac ramp up in his three weeks since making his season debut, as he's played between eight and 14 minutes in all of his 10 appearances to date. Expect his minutes to fall in that range once again Tuesday.

Isaac finished with zero points (0-4 FG), four rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes during Monday's 100-91 victory over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac remained on a firm minute restriction Monday, capping his overall value even before hitting the hardwood. Outside of a few defensive flashes, Isaac has been mediocre since returning from a long-term knee injury, much to the disappointment of anyone who chanced things by picking him up. The Magic have no reason to rush him back, so despite his upside, it feels unlikely he will be putting up anything close to standard league value, at least not for the foreseeable future.

Isaac (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac sat out Wednesday against Philadelphia due to left knee injury management, but he'll be back in action Friday. He's been on a minutes limit over his four appearances since making his season debut, averaging 5.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game.

Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac will take Wednesday's game off to rest his knee after appearing in two straight games. He hasn't seen more than 10 minutes in any game this season, so his absence from the rotation won't make a huge impact. However, Bol Bol could see more action.

Isaac is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to left knee injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac made his season debut Jan. 23 but hasn't played more than 10 minutes in any of his appearances, averaging 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 9.3 minutes per game. If he's sidelined Wednesday, Bol Bol could see a slight uptick in playing time.

Isaac had five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in nine minutes during Saturday's 128-109 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac has yet to see 10 minutes of action in any of his three games since returning from his multi-year absence, and that might continue for a while this season. Even in that minimal playing time, he's still averaging a decent 1.7 steals per game. Considering that the 25-year-old is also continuing to rest games, his potential value for next season is likely the bigger focus than his value for this season.

Isaac (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Isaac will be available, expect him to remain on a pretty strict minutes limit. He was on an 8-to-10 limit in the team's previous game and will presumably see something similar Saturday.
