2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carter finished outside of the Top 150 in eight-category leagues for a second consecutive season in the 2024-25 campaign and averaged career lows in points (9.1) and field-goal percentage (46.0 percent). Overall, he finished with averages of 9.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks across 25.9 minutes per game. While he played a career-high 68 regular-season games, the big man has struggled with durability, appearing in fewer than 60 outings in five of his seven years in the league. He also took a significant step back from beyond the arc last season, shooting just 23.4 percent from three-point range after shooting a career-high 37.4 percent from deep on 3.1 attempts per game in 2023-24. The Duke product is still likely to command significant playing time in a center group that features Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze, though if Carter remains in the starting five, he'll be surrounded by Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bane. Carter's declining role and injury history strike a significant blow to his fantasy upside, and he should only be a late-round target in deep fantasy leagues and two-center formats.

Efficient in limited run Saturday
Carter contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes in Saturday's 126-118 preseason win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Carter was one of six Magic players to score double-digit points and one of three to record multiple blocks. The 26-year-old center is coming off a down season in which his usage rate dropped to a career-low 16.1 percent, and that trend may continue with Desmond Bane now in the mix. Carter averaged 9.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.9 minutes per game in a career-high 68 regular-season appearances (51 starts) in the 2024-25 campaign.

Carter underwent surgery this offseason to stabilize the third metacarpal in his left hand after missing a month and a half due to a fractured middle finger on the same hand early in the 2023-24 campaign. While Carter is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 season, availability has been a major issue for him. The 25-year-old center has never played more than 62 games in his six-year career. When Carter has been on the floor, he has been a relatively productive player, averaging 11.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 55 regular-season appearances, including 48 starts, last season. He also displayed solid efficiency, shooting 52.5 percent from the field and converting 37.4 percent of his 3.1 three-point attempts per contest. However, Carter's rebounding numbers have declined each of the last two years after averaging 10.5 boards in 2021-22, and he has not recorded over a block a game since his rookie season. Orlando also has one of the NBA's best backup centers in Moritz Wagner, who severely limits Carter's playing time. Overall, despite posting nine double-doubles last year, Carter's availability concerns and competition for playing time limits his fantasy value to a late-round pick in most drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Confident after healthy summer
Carter entered training camp feeling confident after enjoying a healthy summer, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter underwent a procedure two years ago that involved putting a plate in his left hand to stabilize a fracture, and he feels he hasn't logged a healthy summer since. That changed over the offseason, as Carter was able to rebuild some confidence and get his body ready for the upcoming 2025-26 season, rather than focusing on rehab work. "My confidence is at an all-time high right now," said Carter. "I'm feeling good. When I had this summer just to train, it wasn't necessarily about me becoming a better shooter -- I know I can shoot. It wasn't about me being able to make moves in the post like I know I can do. It was just about me boosting my confidence." Carter saw a decline in several key areas a year ago, as he averaged just 9.1 points on 46.0 percent shooting from the field and 23.4 percent from downtown in 68 regular-season matchups. A strong offseason could be just what he needs to get back on track.
