Wendell Carter Jr. recorded a double-double for the Magic Saturday night, grabbing 11 rebounds and scoring 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-3 3PT, 4-9 FT) while also blocking two shots in a 126-119 loss to the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact
Carter Jr. continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing seven or more rebounds and scoring six or more points in each of his last five contests. The center provides head coach Sean Sweeney with another stable option in an Orlando starting five without Paolo Banchero, averaging 14.8 points and 9.6 rebounds per game to go along with a 14.9% usage rate so far this season.
Wendell Carter Jr. scored 27 points (10-12 FG, 2-2 3P, 5-6 FT) with 13 rebounds, two assists, and two stocks in the Magic’s 117-104 loss to the Suns.
Fantasy Impact
Carter had quite the offensive showing on Thursday, bouncing back from two consecutive single-digit point outings. He’s continued his pattern of either scoring 20 or more, or 10 or less, in every game so far this season. Because of that pattern, despite four games with 10+ rebounds, this was also his first double-double.
Wendell Carter Jr. scored 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3PT, 7-8 FT) and grabbed seven rebounds in Friday's 121-114 win over the Raptors.
Fantasy Impact

The veteran big had scored just 12 combined over the previous two games going into Friday night, including a three-point showing in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors. Carter rebounded for the rematch, bringing his averages to 14.8 points and 8.6 rebounds with a 65.0 FG% for the campaign.
Wendell Carter Jr. finished with 20 points (8-9 FG, 3-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, and two blocks in Friday's 115-93 loss to the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
Carter led the Magic in scoring Friday night, and the big man has put up 20-plus in each of the first two games of the season. Carter has made 16 of 19 shots from the field so far and added 16 rebounds.
Wendell Carter Jr. scored 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 5-5 FT) and pulled down seven rebounds in Wednesday's 132-125 loss to the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact
Carter got his season off to an impressively efficient start Wednesday night. It's probably unreasonable to expect 20-plus points every time out, but Carter should be a solid source of rebounds and field-goal percentage for fantasy managers.
