Franz Wagner delivered a strong performance in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans, scoring 24 points on efficient shooting. He impressed with his long-range accuracy, hitting three three-pointers, which could be a promising sign for the upcoming season. If Wagner maintains this level of production, he could be a valuable asset in fantasy basketball, particularly in nine-category leagues.

Franz Wagner showcased his scoring ability in limited minutes during Sunday’s victory over the Miami Heat. In just 16 minutes, he scored 17 points, adding five rebounds and three assists. Wagner’s efficiency at the free-throw line, converting all 10 attempts, highlighted his night despite a 3-of-8 shooting performance from the field.

Franz Wagner made his return to the court in Orlando’s win over the 76ers, contributing eight points and displaying his defensive prowess with two steals over 20 minutes. Although his shooting was inconsistent, his performance is no cause for concern among fantasy managers, considering his recent gold-winning efforts at EuroBasket. Tristan da Silva also impressed off the bench, adding 12 points in just 13 minutes, showcasing promise as a potential fantasy sleeper.

Franz Wagner is set to make his preseason debut, joining the starting lineup against the 76ers after missing the opener. His presence suggests Orlando may be solidifying its regular-season starting five, especially with Tyus Jones starting in place of the recovering Jalen Suggs. Tristan da Silva, another EuroBasket standout, will rotate back to the bench.
