Magic's Serge Ibaka: Thrives again Sunday

Ibaka put up 25 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 36 minutes in Sunday's 105-98 preseason loss to the Hawks.

Analysis:

Ibaka was limited by a sore knee in the early portion of the Magic's preseason schedule, but he's looked outstanding while playing in the team's last three games. He ranked second on the team to only Evan Fournier in shot attempts Sunday and should be in line for the highest usage rate of his career with the move to Orlando. If Ibaka can pair his expected increase in scoring with anything close to the 59.3 percent mark from the field that he's provided thus far in the preseason, he'll have a shot at flirting with top-30 fantasy value.
