Wagner accumulated 16 points (4-7 FG, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 108-81 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner has carved out a consistent bench role this season, and he's making the most of his opportunities as Wendell Carter's primary backup. Known for his scoring prowess, Wagner has been on a roll of late, scoring in double digits in all but one of his last six appearances despite averaging a mere 16.8 minutes per game in that span.

Wagner ended with 22 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes in Thursday's 116-109 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner led all players in Thursday's contest in scoring while playing a bench-leading minutes total en route to the lone 20-point performance in a winning effort. Wagner, who also hauled in a team-high-tying rebound mark, has scored 20 or more points in four games this season, with the most recent such performance before Thursday occurring Jan. 9 against Minnesota. He has now recorded at least 15 points and seven rebounds in seven outings.

Wagner registered 10 points (5-5 FG), five rebounds and four assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner led the Magic bench in assists to go along with a handful of rebounds and a bench-high-tying double-digit point total to provide Orlando with a spark on the second unit. Wagner tied a season high in assists, a mark he has posted three times this year. He has now finished in double figures off the bench in six of his last seven outings.

Wagner closed with 16 points (5-13 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner recorded his first double-double of the season Sunday, and he did it in a tough matchup -- coming off the bench against one of the best teams in the Western Conference and dealing with a physical frontcourt. Wagner continues to find ways to produce off the bench for the Magic, and he has scored in double digits in each of his last three appearances despite not playing more than 23 minutes in each of those contests. He remains a valuable fantasy alternative in deeper formats due to his ability to put up numbers in limited time.

Wagner posted 15 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Monday's 126-99 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

With Wendell Carter recently moving into the starting lineup, Wagner appears to be the preferred center off the bench at the expense of Goga Bitadze. Whether or not this is a permanent change remains to be seen, but Wagner certainly made a strong case Monday evening.

Wagner (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Monday's 98-94 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

With Wendell Carter (knee) logging 19 minutes off the bench behind starting center Goga Bitadze in his return from a five-game absence, the Magic had no room in the rotation for Wagner. Though the Magic had previously opened up minutes for all three big men during a brief stretch in late December when Carter made his return from a fractured finger, Wagner didn't factor into the equation at power forward, with all of those minutes falling to Jonathan Isaac when Paolo Banchero was off the floor. Wagner thus looks as though he'll need an injury to another frontcourt player before he recaptures a role on the second unit.

Wagner ended with 19 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 99-96 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner missed just two shots from the field and was a reliable threat on offense, but he also posted solid numbers in other categories and made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Wagner has settled well into a bench role and is averaging 13.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in his last five outings with the second unit.

Wagner accumulated 21 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-92 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner has scored in double-digits in four of his last five games and has played 25 or more minutes in his last three appearances. He's had a strong start to the New Year and is averaging 13.8 points on 55.6 percent shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five outings.

Wagner won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With Goga Bitadze (illness) and Wendell Carter (knee) ruled out, Wagner drew a spot start against the Nuggets, posting 19 points (8-14 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes. Bitadze is back, so Wagner will move back to the bench, but he should still see significant playing time, as Carter remains out.
