Wagner racked up 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 134-120 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Wendell Carter Jr. who was ruled out with an ankle injury. Despite fluctuating playing time, Wagner has actually put together his most productive stretch of the season recently. Over his past seven games, he is averaging 14.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.3 triples on 51 percent shooting from the floor. His role is too uncertain to make him a must-add player but he is absolutely worth considering in the short term, especially if Carter misses additional time.

Wagner will start Thursday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner gets the nod alongside his brother, Franz, as Wendell Carter sits out due to an ankle injury. It will mark Wagner's first start of the year. In games this season where he's seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Wagner registered 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 150-108 loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner scored in double figures off the bench for a third straight contest and grabbed a team-high 11 boards en route to his second double-double of the campaign. Since returning March 4 following a nearly month-long absence due to a rib injury, Wager has averaged 13.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.5 minutes over the Magic's last six contests.

Wagner delivered 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes Friday in the Magic's 118-110 win over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning March 4 following a nearly a month-long absence due to a rib injury, Wagner has provided a major jolt to the Magic's second unit. In his first four games back, Wagner is averaging 14.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 three-pointers, numbers that would make him a useful piece in 12-team leagues if he can maintain them the rest of the way. However, Wagner has played under 20 minutes in each of the past three contests, making it difficult to fully believe that he'll be able to sustain his current production in the absence of a spike in playing time.

Wagner supplied 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 102-99 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
With Wendell Carter back in the mix following a two-game absence due to an illness, Wagner saw his playing time dip below 20 minutes, but he was still able to offer solid production in his limited action. Wagner has averaged 14.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists over his last two games since returning from a nine-game absence due to a rib contusion.

Wagner provided 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 124-96 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner missed each of Orlando's previous nine games due to a left rib contusion, but he didn't show much rust in his return to the court Saturday. The big man registered his highest scoring total since Jan. 23 and grabbed a team-high 11 boards to notch his first double-double of the season. Wagner surprisingly saw 27 minutes in the loss, which marked his most playing time since mid-January.

Wagner (ribs) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has missed the last nine games due to a rib injury, but it appears as though he'll be back in action for the second half of a back-to-back set. He'll likely face a minutes restriction if he ultimately takes the court against Memphis.
