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.
Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Bucks. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Fultz rolled with the starters and logged a season-high 34 minutes against Houston on Tuesday. With Gary Harris (foot) and Franz Wagner (ankle) out of the lineup, Fultz has a good chance to remain in the first unit for Wednesday's matchup. He has averaged 9.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.4 steals in a starting role this season.
Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner has been ruled out for a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. He was initially listed as questionable for the contest. Jonathan Isaac and Joe Ingles have a chance to see more action with Wagner out of the lineup. Isaac is the stronger fantasy option, and he's coming off an impressive 22-minute outing against Houston. The 26-year-old registered 10 points, eight rebounds, a pair of steals, and a block on Tuesday. However, due to his injury history, there's a chance Isaac will see limited action in Wednesday's matchup.
Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Tuesday's matchup against Houston. After Wagner hurt his right ankle on Sunday versus Chicago, there was hope of him being available for the contest when he took part in the morning shootaround, but the team has now officially ruled him out. Joe Ingles will likely play a larger part in the rotation without Wagner, although he's been unproductive throughout the season, and fantasy managers should look elsewhere.
