   Carter registered 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks across 40 minutes in Saturday's 126-119 overtime loss to the Warriors.

   Carter delivered a strong fantasy performance, posting his second consecutive double-double while also tying season-high marks in both made three-pointers and blocks. Carter has found a way to get it done on both ends of the floor this season, and he's recorded either double-digit points or double-digit rebounds in all but one of his nine outings in 2026-27. He's averaging 14.8 points and 9.6 boards per contest and is emerging as a reliable middle-tier option at center.

   Carter finished with 27 points (10-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 117-104 loss to Phoenix.

   Carter pieced together a stellar shooting performance, resulting in a team-high 27 points. This marks his best scoring night of the 2026-27 campaign, and it's the fourth time he's reached the 20-point threshold through eight appearances. Carter also turned in his first double-double of the year, though he's secured double-digit rebounds on four separate occasions.

   Carter recorded six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 103-94 loss to Washington.

   Carter was largely uninvolved offensively despite Orlando playing without Paolo Banchero (ankle), attempting just three shots while finishing one rebound shy of double figures. His 34 minutes were encouraging, but Nikola Vucevic continues to provide competition in the frontcourt. Carter should remain a reliable source of rebounds, though his scoring production could fluctuate significantly.

   Carter finished with 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 121-114 win over the Raptors.

   Carter has yet to record his first double-double of the season, and he ended just three boards shy of doing so Friday. He took a step forward offensively, though, as he hit the 20-point mark after scoring a combined 12 points (4-10 FG) in his previous two contests. Carter has reached the 20-point mark in three of his five appearances this season, and he should continue to benefit from an expanded offensive role due to the absences of Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee).

   Carter chipped in nine points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 victory over the Knicks.

   Carter cooled off a bit Sunday after dropping at least 20 points in two prior appearances, but he came down with a season-high 10 boards. The big man should continue to play a key role at center for the Magic, but fantasy managers should anticipate some regression coming at some point for Carter.
