    • Nears double-double Thursday
      Wagner provided 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Wagner is known for his scoring ability, but in a game where Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs carried the offense, Wagner made his presence felt as a distributor, with his eight assists being his highest output since Dec. 26. Wagner should remain a capable presence on the offensive side of the ball for the Magic, as he's averaged 17.3 points per game through the first three contests of this first-round series.

    • Franz Wagner dishes out eight assists in blowout
      Franz Wagner shot 6-of-12 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s rout of the Cavaliers, accounting for 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner took much better care of the basketball than in Game 2. After committing six turnovers in that defeat, Franz did not record any in Game 3. In fact, Orlando’s starters were responsible for just one turnover, which was a major factor in the Magic’s first win of the series. Wagner will look to do more of the same in Game 4 on Saturday, with Cleveland still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:19 pm
       
    • Franz Wagner (shoulder) points 18/7/2/1/1 line
      Franz Wagner (right shoulder) accounted for 18 points (5-of-17 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes in Monday’s 96-86 loss to Cleveland.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner had a rough night offensively. In addition to the poor shooting, he committed six of Orlando’s 16 turnovers (Banchero also had six). Also, Wagner appeared to injure his right shoulder during the final minute to make matters worse. Play never stopped, so he remained on the court through the final buzzer, which may land Wagner on the injury report ahead of Thursday’s Game 3. The other injury concern is Jalen Suggs, who strained his left knee during the first quarter. He returned to begin the third and finished with nine points, six rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 29 minutes. Rotoworld Monday, 7:18 pm
       
    • Nears 20 points in balanced outing
      Wagner tallied 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Wagner struggled to find his shot a bit in Monday's defeat but still provided a lift offensively by ending two points shy of the 20-point mark while leading all Magic players in rebounds in a balanced performance. Wagner has put together back-to-back strong showings for Orlando to start the opening-round series, posting 18 points and seven boards in both contests. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Stuffs stat sheet in loss Saturday
      Wagner posted 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 97-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Paolo Banchero led the way for the Magic in this loss, and while Wagner had a rough outing from the field, he still salvaged his fantasy value by delivering a strong performance across the board, particularly on defense. Most of Wagner's value is tied to what he can do offensively, however, and on that note, he's now scored 18 or more points in six of his last seven appearances dating back to the regular season.

    • Franz Wagner finishes Game 1 loss with 18 points
      Franz Wagner shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-4 from the foul line in Saturday’s 97-83 loss to the Cavaliers, amassing 18 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, three blocks, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: While Paolo Banchero (24 points) led the Magic in scoring, Wagner had the more efficient playoff debut. While recording a full stat line, he did not commit a turnover in 38 minutes on the court. Banchero had a usage of 30.5, with Wagner coming in at 19.1. These two will continue to run the show for a Magic squad that lacks a playmaking lead guard capable of logging heavy minutes, which will benefit Wagner. He and the Magic will look to rebound on Monday when the teams meet again in Game 2 in Cleveland. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:36 pm
