Franz Wagner kept the run going Friday night, and the Orlando Magic kept rolling with him.
In a 107-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, Wagner once again looked like the engine of Orlando’s offense. The sixth-year forward has been one of the team’s top pieces alongside Paolo Banchero as the Magic try to push back toward the playoffs, and his recent stretch has been hard to miss.
Wagner entered the game already scorching. He had put up 38 points, eight rebounds and one steal in his previous outing, followed by 33 points, seven rebounds and seven assists the game before that. Before those two, he had gone for 30 points, 11 assists and six rebounds.
Against Milwaukee, he picked up right where he left off. Wagner played 36 minutes and finished with 35 points, 12 assists, nine rebounds, one steal and one block. He shot 13-of-22 from the floor, hit 3-of-8 from three, and went a perfect 6-of-6 at the line.

Orlando didn’t rely on Wagner alone, either. The Magic got a balanced night across the board, with five players scoring in double figures in the home win over Milwaukee.
Desmond Bane added 21 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals while shooting 7-of-13 overall and 6-of-10 from deep. Wendell Carter Jr. chipped in 12 points and eight rebounds. Tristan da Silva also scored 12 and grabbed six boards, and Goga Bitadze matched that with 12 points and four rebounds.
The victory moved Orlando to 5-7 on the season and into ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Magic are ahead of the Charlotte Hornets and the Indiana Pacers, while sitting behind the Toronto Raptors and the Miami Heat.
Next up is a road test against the Boston Celtics, with tip-off set for Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. ET.

Jalen Suggs Gives Magic A Boost That Stats Wont Explain
The Magic finally got their first home win of the NBA Cup season by beating the Bucks 107-99, and Jalen Suggs was part of the story even if the box score barely hinted at it. Back from an eight-game absence with a knee injury, Suggs came off the bench for 21 minutes and finished with three points, two rebounds and three assists, giving Orlando another ballhandler and a familiar edge in a game that mattered in the standings and in the building.
Sean Sweeney made it clear afterward that the value went well beyond the shooting line. Even on a night when the offense did not come easily, Suggs helped the Magic with his pressure at the point of attack, his ability to get downhill and his playmaking, the kind of contribution Orlando has missed during his time out. The numbers were modest, but the lift was obvious in the way the game felt when he was on the floor. [Read more 🡒]
Franz Wagners Huge Night Came With A Twist Magic Fans Need To See
Franz Wagner put together the kind of all-around night that usually ends with a headline all its own against the Bucks, piling up 35 points, 12 assists and what initially looked like 10 rebounds. For a moment, it seemed the Magic wing had checked off his first career triple-double, a milestone that would have fit neatly with the way he has been carrying Orlandos offense lately.
The twist came after the game, when the final bookkeeping changed the picture and left Wagner just short of that mark. Even so, the performance extended his streak to four straight games with at least 30 points, placing him in some notable franchise company and reinforcing how central he has become to the Magics attack.

Franz Wagner Just Showed Why The Magic Offense Feels Different
Franz Wagners latest outing was another reminder that Orlandos offense looks different when he is driving it. In the 107-99 win over Milwaukee, he was the kind of all-around hub the Magic have been searching for, piling up points, creating for teammates and helping keep the attack moving in a way that has become more visible as the season has gone on.
The broader trend matters just as much as the box score. Orlando has been getting better scoring in the paint and finding more ways to generate offense, and Jalen Suggs recent return from injury has added another layer as he works back into form. The encouraging part for the Magic is that this no longer feels like a one-night spike, but the next question is how far this version of the offense can carry once the schedule tightens. [Read more 🡒]
