Wendell Carter Jr. scored 16 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3PT, 0-1 FT) with nine rebounds, four assists, three steals, a block, and two turnovers across 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact
Carter Jr. shot over 50 percent from the field against a stacked Nuggets frontcourt, collecting nine rebounds and forcing three steals in the process. Fantasy managers should roster and deploy WCJ in most point and category leagues, as the 21-year old center has found increased usage in his new role with Orlando. Carter Jr. has racked up 56 points and 33 rebounds across his last three starts for the Magic, playing at least 31 minutes or more during this stretch. Fantasy managers can insert him into lineups next when the Magic host the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
