BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Moritz Wagner keeps starting games nightly for the Magic and it's been eight in a row through Saturday. The minutes aren't gaudy and have dropped of late, but even then and in games played in December (eight, all of them starting), Mo has stayed on the court 29 MPG and only some fouling issues have cut some of those runs a bit short.
Wagner has dropped double-digit points in all but two of those eight games started. He's also pulled down 10+ boards twice, and in those two games, he paired the rebounding with enough points to bring home a couple of double-doubles.
Mo is the classic big man when it comes to his stat lines: the points and the rebounds are always guaranteed to appear in them, but then there is just the odd assist/steal/block adorning the line and not offering much appeal.
The good thing about Wagner is that he knows how to stretch the floor while keeping his production mostly inside the paint, which makes for a good combo of high shooting percentages from the field and 3-point shots made.
Wagner is also shooting 89% (32-of-36) from the charity stripe on the season, which is sublime. Only four players offering a 12-6-2 nightly contribution while hitting freebies at that clip through Saturday: Durant, Steph, Herro, and Mo.
