3 years agoOrlando Magic power forward Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Pistons due to left hamstring soreness. Freddie Gillespie will shift into the starting five in place of Carter, elevating his DFS appeal due to his punt play price tag. After returning from a leg injury that appeared as if it could have sidelined Carter long-term, the 22-year-old has recorded seven consecutive double-digit rebound performances. On track to set new career highs with 13.1 points and 10.3 boards on a nightly basis, Carter has emerged as a must-roster season-long fantasy asset. His next chance to take the floor comes Sunday against Washington.--Jesse Borek
