Wagner ended Wednesday's 116-108 loss to the Rockets with 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists in 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The consistency Wagner shows on a game-to-game basis is nearly unmatched, and the star forward has been putting up a solid display over the last few weeks. He's surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his 14 appearances since the All-Star Game, but that's not all, as he's also averaging 5.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game over that stretch. Firmly entrenched as the Magic's second option on offense, Wagner remains a reliable fantasy alternative in all formats. Over that 14-game stretch, Wagner has also scored at least 20 points nine times.

Wagner contributed 22 points (8-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner didn't have his best shooting performance and was particularly woeful from three-point range, but the star forward still delivered a well-rounded fantasy line while ending just two boards shy of a double-double. That said, his scoring numbers have been trending in the wrong direction a bit, and this was just the second time he's recorded at least 20 points in his last six outings. He's averaging 21.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Wagner had 27 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-93 victory over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
After three straight games of scoring in the teens, Wagner was more efficient with his shot Thursday while still supplying his usual contributions in secondary categories. The fourth-year forward has scored 25 or more points six times in 11 games since the All-Star break, a stretch in which he's averaging 22.7 points, 5.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 threes.

Wagner finished with 18 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 victory over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner didn't have his best shooting performance Saturday, and while he remains a capable offensive weapon for the Magic, the fact that he hasn't been able to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last six games should disappoint fantasy managers a bit. Regardless of that slow stretch, Wagner continues to have a career-best season in 2024-25, and he should continue to operate as the Magic's second-best offensive option behind Paolo Banchero. He's scored more than 20 points in six of his nine outings since the All-Star break.

Wagner supplied 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block in 38 minutes during Thursday's 125-123 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner struggled a bit with efficiency Thursday, though he was one of five players on the Magic to score 17-plus points in the loss. Outside of scoring the rock, the 23-year-old recorded his most assists in a game since Jan. 25. Additionally, the forward logged multiple steals for the 19th time across 44 regular-season appearances. Wagner has averaged 23.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 35.8 minutes per contest in eight outings since the All-Star break.

Wagner logged 25 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes during Sunday's 104-102 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner led the Magic in scoring with an efficient performance, although he didn't contribute much in other categories outside scoring. It's not like he needs to fill the stat sheet to be valuable in most formats, though. Wagner is having a career-best campaign despite missing 20 consecutive games between Dec. 8 and Jan. 21 due to an oblique injury, and he's averaging 25.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in 42 appearances this season.

Wagner registered 27 points (11-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four assists, two rebounds and three steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
It was another efficient scoring night for Wagner, as he finished as the game's third-leading scorer behind Stephen Curry (56) and Paolo Banchero (41). Wagner has scored at least 23 points in seven of his last 10 outings and has connected on 48.8 percent of his field-goal attempts, though he's shooting just 30.0 percent from beyond the arc over that span. He's averaging career highs in points (25.0), rebounds (5.6) and assists (4.9) in his fourth NBA regular season.

Wagner recorded 19 points (9-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 122-82 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Paolo Banchero (26 points) in the blowout loss. Wagner has taken a step forward as a scorer this season, and over his last 15 outings since returning from a 20-game absence due to a torn right oblique, he has scored fewer than 20 points in only three outings. However, the fourth-year forward struggled from beyond the arc once again, and he has shot only 4-for-22 from deep across his last five matchups.

Wagner tallied 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Friday was a balanced outing for Wagner, who finished as the game's leading scorer while contributing on the defensive end of the floor. He's scored at least 25 points in five of his last seven games, and over that span, he has averaged 25.9 points on 49.3 percent shooting, 6.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.9 steals over 33.6 minutes per game.

Wagner accumulated 25 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 33 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner wasn't able to connect on any of his three three-point attempts Thursday, but he still managed to finish as the Magic's second-leading scorer behind Paolo Banchero (36). Since returning from a torn right oblique Jan. 23, Wagner has averaged 26.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 32.8 minutes per game, though he's shooting 29.6 percent from three on 5.9 3PA/G over that span.
