Moritz Wagner scores 18 points in loss to the Nets

Fantasy Impact:

Wagner scored 18.0 points in the Magic's loss to the Nets, putting together another impressive scoring effort as he shot 66.7 percent from the floor and 100.0 percent from beyond the arc. Although in a timeshare with Goga Bitadze, he has demonstrated his upside as an understated multi-categorical contributor. Wagner should be on your radar as a viable streamer or potential roster add in season-long category leagues, as he can contribute to more nuanced categories like field goal and free-throw percentage in addition to points and rebounds. However, the drawback when rostering Wagner could be the timeshare, which could force him to rely on efficiency to turn in strong performances. Although Wagner has demonstrated the ability to produce impactful results, his game's low-volume, high-efficiency nature is certainly something to be aware of, as the quality and volume of his value could be heavily matchup-dependent. Still, he can be a solid multi-categorical addition to your rotation. Given the limited nature of his role and capped upside, Wagner's price point may be too high to consider him in daily formats. He has a usage rate of 22.2 percent, a plus-minus 1.5, and averages 19.5 minutes, 13.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting 63.3 percent from the floor and 37.1 percent from beyond the arc.
