Wagner registered 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has reached double figures in six straight games, but his workloads remain fairly low. In that span, he's averaging 20.0 minutes per contest with 12.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 three-pointers. He's been a viable streamer to open December.

Wagner supplied 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-106 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
With Goga Bitadze (ankle) a late scratch, Wagner had his best performance of the season Tuesday by a wide margin, notching his first double-double of the campaign while also setting new season-high marks in points and rebounds. Despite coming off the bench, Wagner has been a consistent performer in the Magic's frontcourt. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight contests, a span in which he's averaging 14.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest.

Wagner supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 100-92 victory over Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner provided a nice lift off Orlando's bench in Sunday's win, leading all second-unit players in scoring and rebounds while also recording a team-high-tying pair of blocks in a near double-double outing. Wagner tied a season high in rebounds, and he's now reached double figures in scoring in six of his last seven contests.

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.
EDGE Analysis
With Wendell Carter (foot) sidelined and Goga Bitadze starting, 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.

Wagner closed Thursday's 119-118 win over the Lakers with 19 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 18 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
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. The big man has played a significant role off the bench through 17 regular-season outings, and in his last five contests, he has averaged 12.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 17.0 minutes per game.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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 scored in double digits in three of his last four contests, averaging 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest in that span.

Wagner is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
