The Headlines
Desmond Bane just put on a masterclass. 63 ESPN fantasy points in a Magic win? That's not a performance, that's a statement. The dude went absolutely nuclear against Cleveland, and if you benched him, we need to talk about your decision-making process. This is the kind of game that changes playoff narratives.

The Disappointments
Without the full box scores from last night's slate, we can't call out the specific busts yet. But if you're holding someone on Cleveland who disappointed in that 122-point loss to Orlando, start asking yourself tough questions about their role going forward. Low-scoring losses usually mean someone underperformed.
Check your lineup for anyone who posted single-digit or low-teens fantasy points. That's your bust list.
Waiver Priority
Hard to give specific adds without seeing the complete games from last night, but here's the framework:
- Bane handcuff - Whoever benefits most from sharing usage with Bane in Orlando. If someone saw reduced minutes due to Bane's explosion, they're droppable.
- Cleveland role players - After a 122-point loss at home, someone in that rotation should see increased opportunity if the team pivots lineups.
- Injury call-ups - Check the wire for any bench warmers who might've gotten run in blowouts.
Sell High, Buy Low
Sell: If you own Bane, now's the time to shop him around. A 63-point performance makes him league-tradeable gold. Yes, he'll have monster games again, but this ceiling-hitting performance might be the perfect moment to flip him for depth or chase an injured star coming back.
Buy: Anyone who got benched in Orlando's blowout win. Crunch time minutes dry up fast. Look for guys who might've earned increased responsibility in Cleveland's loss - that's your buy-low target. Winners tend to keep rolling.
Tomorrow's Slate
Come back tomorrow for the full preview once we know which teams are in action. For now, lock in your Bane insights and don't panic on anyone who had an off night against a hot opponent.
