Wendell Carter Jr. notched a double-double for the Magic Saturday night, grabbing 12 rebounds and chipping in 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3PT) while also blocking two shots in a 125-94 win over the Wizards.

Carter Jr. continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more rebounds and eight or more points in each of the last five games. The center has opened the season offering fantasy managers a safe floor option as part of an athletic Orlando starting five led by Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner most nights.

Wendell Carter Jr. posted 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-107 win over Charlotte.

The 18-point performance was a season-high for Carter and helped the Magic improve to 2-4. Aside from one poor game against Detroit where he fouled out in 15 minutes, Carter has been solid this season. Through six games, he is averaging 10.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 1.2 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Wendell Carter Jr. produced his best offensive game of the season in Thursday's win over the Hornets, tallying 18 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, one block, and three three-pointers. The 18 points and three triples were both season-highs for Carter, who shot 66.7 percent from the field.

Fantasy Impact

While Carter has been a consistent source of rebounds, grabbing at least eight in five of his six games, his offensive production has been minimal. He scored between eight and 10 points in each of Orlando's first five games. This was a solid outing, but it is unlikely to become the norm, given that he is behind Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Desmond Bane in the offensive pecking order. Carter remains a deep-league option only.
