Khaman Maluach vs. Magic: Starting Opportunity in Frontcourt Rotation
Khaman Maluach is slated to start at center for Phoenix tonight against Orlando, holding down the interior while Mark Williams remains sidelined. The 20-year-old big man has provided steady production in his expanded role, averaging 8.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.0 block across 19.4 minutes over his last five games while shooting 55.0% from the floor. Fantasy managers have taken notice, as Maluach's start rate jumped to 24% despite sitting at 29% rostered.
Phoenix hosts Orlando at Mortgage Matchup Center in a contest with a 222.5 total, though our daily models currently lack an active projection baseline for Maluach. Fantasy managers should monitor confirmed lineups and check back for updates closer to tip-off. If his starting assignment is solidified, expect a steady baseline of around seven points and six rebounds.
