Orlando Magic

  • Franz WagnerProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Wagner was limited to 34 regular-season appearances for Orlando last season but remained productive when available, averaging 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 30.0 minutes per game. The 25-year-old remains one of the centerpieces of the Magic's offense and should continue handling a significant scoring and playmaking workload alongside Paolo Banchero. Wagner's well-rounded production gives him considerable fantasy upside entering his sixth NBA season.

    Cost -2.2 per 100
  • Jonathan IsaacProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    The Magic waived Isaac on June 27, but there was always mutual interest in a return. Across 52 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, Isaac produced averages of 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per contest before a left knee sprain sidelined him through the end of the season. He's likely going to be facing an uphill battle for playing time in 2026-27.
