Game-high 27 points Monday
Black accumulated 27 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 107-106 loss to the Raptors.
Analysis
Black came out firing after halftime, scoring 16 of his game-high 27 points in the third quarter. The third-year guard has started each of the Magic's last nine games and has given Orlando a much-needed boost in the absences of Jalen Suggs (hip) and Franz Wagner (ankle). Over that nine-game span, Black has averaged 21.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.2 steals over 34.4 minutes per game.

Explodes for career-high 38 points
Black recorded 38 points (14-24 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-126 win over Denver.
Analysis
Paolo Banchero didn't have his best game and was limited to 12 points on 6-for-13 shooting, but Black stepped up for the Magic and delivered a career-best scoring mark in this tight one-point victory. Black has been on a tear of late and has reached the 20-point mark in five of his previous six outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 24.1 points per game.

Paces Orlando in loss
Black recorded 24 points (8-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 120-105 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
With Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (hip) remaining sidelined, Black impressed yet again. The 21-year-old guard led Orlando in scoring and three-pointers made, finishing with 20-plus points for the fourth time in his last five outings. The third-year pro also tied the team-high marks in assists and steals, and he has racked up multiple swipes in back-to-back games.

Hits for 22 points in win
Black produced 22 points (8-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
It's unclear how long Black's run of production will last, but the eventual returns of Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (hip) will obviously hurt his fantasy value. The increase for Black is easy to view, as he's averaged 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steals over six games since joining the first unit.
