Anthony was initially listed as questionable with a right ankle sprain but will be in the starting lineup for Orlando’s final game before the All-Star break.
The 21-year-old will be in Cleveland this weekend as he’s scheduled to participate in this year’s Slam Dunk Competition.
Anthony has been a bright spot on a Magic team that currently owns the league’s second-worst record at 13-46. The former North Carolina Tar Heel is posting per-game averages of 17.6 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.8 rebounds for the season.
Matched up with a Hawks defense that’s allowing 111.8 PPG (22nd in the Association), Anthony is in a prime position to head into the break on a high note. At just $6,300 on FanDuel, he represents a strong play in Wednesday DFS contests.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Magic listed as five-point home underdogs and +184 on the Moneyline.
