Comes close to double-double Wagner contributed 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 95-84 win over the Hornets.

Impact Wagner has been playing at a high level off the bench in recent games, and his consistency as a second-unit threat makes him a solid streaming option in some formats, particularly category-based leagues. Wagner has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous 11 appearances, averaging 14.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest.

Impact Wagner set season highs in both scoring and assists while hitting the double-digit points mark for the eighth time in his last 10 appearances.

Efficient off bench Tuesday Wagner accumulated 18 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 114-89 win over the Hornets.

Impact Wagner continues to make the most of his minutes off the bench, and he's thriving as a scoring option in the second unit. He's scored in double digits in five of his last six games off the bench, averaging 14.0 points per game and shooting 50.9 percent from the field in that span.

Productive off bench Friday Wagner finished Friday's 115-88 win over the Pelicans with 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes.

Impact Wagner delivered more points than Goga Bitadze, who was the starting center in Friday's win, but it's unclear if that will be enough to steal the starting job away from the 25-year-old. Wagner has been productive as a scorer and has recorded double-digit points in four of his last five appearances, shooting 51.2 percent from the field in that span.

Decent line but poor shooting Wagner registered 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and six rebounds over 20 minutes during Sunday's 108-85 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Wagner ended up with a decent stat line, though he had one of his worst shooting performances of the campaign. The Magic are extremely thin in terms of frontcourt depth, with Wendell Carter (foot) and Goga Bitadze (foot) being questionable for Monday's matchup at Oklahoma City, so it wouldn't be surprising if Wagner gets the nod in the starting lineup in that contest. For what is worth, Wagner has scored in double digits in three of his last four contests, averaging 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest in that span.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to starting lineup Wagner is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Impact Wagner will replace Wendell Carter (knee) in the starting lineup Friday. Across his first five appearances this season, Wagner is averaging 11.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.2 minutes but should see an uptick in playing time against Cleveland.

Pops for 18 points in win Wagner recorded 18 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 15 minutes during Friday's 116-101 victory over the Nets.

Impact Wagner caught fire off the bench, scoring a season-high 18 points. Wagner has the ability to flash some offensive upside, making him a name to watch, even in standard formats. While the offensive output was encouraging, he still only played 15 minutes. As long as he is serving as the backup to Wendell Carter, Wagner is going to find it hard to put up consistent value.

Impact Wagner produced his highest scoring outing of the Paris Olympics in the bronze medal game, but it was not enough to lift the team past Nikola Jokic and Serbia. The 27-year-old was not asked to do much in the scoring department alongside Franz Wagner and Dennis Schroder, but he did shoot an efficient 52.5 percent from the field during the Paris Olympics. In six Olympic appearances, Wagner averaged 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 17.0 minutes per game.

Impact Wagner has now scored in double digits in two of his last three games. He's averaging 17.7 minutes per game this season, but with Wendell Carter leaving Friday's game due to back spasms, Wagner could see extended playing time in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bucks.

Puts up 14 points off bench Wagner supplied 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 18 minutes during Sunday's 111-96 win over the Raptors.

Impact Wagner has adjusted to a bench role this season, but he's been playing well even under those conditions, as he's been thriving as a second-unit scoring option.
