Magic's Caleb Houstan: Back to bench Friday
Rotowire
Houstan isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks.
With star forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) making his long-awaited return to the mix for the Magic on Friday, Houstan will be the odd man out and revert back to the second unit. Houstan has barely been a factor when operating from Orlando's bench this season, as he's averaged 1.8 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 7.2 minutes over 22 games as a reserve, meaning he'll likely fade back to fantasy irrelevance against Milwaukee.

Rotowire
