Franz Wagner posts 35 points, 12 assists in Magic win over Bucks

Wagner's massive line Friday night shows what he can do, but his fantasy value was already established at 41.1 projected fantasy points a game.

Franz Wagner posted 35 points, 12 assists, nine rebounds, three threes, one steal and one block on 13-of-22 shooting and 6-of-6 from the line in 36 minutes as a starter Friday, November 13, leading Orlando past Milwaukee 107-99.

The line gave Wagner 66.8 fantasy points and looks spectacular on paper, but his value was already priced in before this game: he entered Friday averaging 43.5 fantasy points over his previous 10 games. He is projected for 41.1 fantasy points a game and ranks 23rd overall for nine-category value, making him a hold in all formats but not a fresh add.

Franz Wagner

Wagner has started all 12 of Orlando's games this season and is now averaging 24.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 8.3 assists in 36.8 minutes a game. Over his previous 10 games he put up 23.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 threes in 37.6 minutes a game, a stretch that shows Friday's explosion was bigger than his normal output but not a departure from his established role.

Wagner is working with a 30.2 per cent usage rate at 54.9 per cent true shooting, handling a massive creative load for the Magic. Orlando has one game left this week, Friday, with no back-to-back. In nine-category leagues he delivers top-25 value; in points leagues he is projected for 41.1 fantasy points a game and should be rostered everywhere.

What to do

• Hold Wagner as a top-25 asset in nine-category leagues and a projected 41.1-fantasy-point producer in points leagues.

• Start Wagner in his final game of the week Friday with confidence in his established role and minutes.

• Do not chase Wagner as a waiver add based solely on Friday's line: his value was already established before this game.
