Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner struggled in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 22-year-old had 26 points in the Game 6 win on Friday night. However, he fizzled on Sunday, ending the afternoon with just six points off 1-for-15 shooting from the field. He had struggled on the road during this series, but his performance in Game 7 couldn't have gone much worse. With Orlando done, the team can make moves this offseason. But the roster should continue to be built around Wagner and Paolo Banchero, with both players expected to improve even more in 2024-25.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will suit up for Friday's game in Philly. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained right ankle and was riding a questionable tag heading into this one. But Orlando is looking to clinch the Southeast division, which is incentive enough for Wagner to return. Nonetheless, with F. Wagner back in the mix, Moritz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac will likely see fewer than 20 minutes each, lowering their ceilings for DFS purposes.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Wagner has missed two consecutive games due to a right ankle sprain, and his status remains uncertain for Friday's crucial matchup in helping decide Eastern Conference playoff seeding. Head coach Jamahl Mosley has turned to Markelle Fultz in his starting backcourt in the last two contests Wagner has missed. Over his past four games that Wagner has been sidelined dating back to January, Fultz is averaging a modest 10.3 points on 51.3% shooting from the floor, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 27.5 minutes and isn't the most attractive option from a DFS perspective.
