Magic's Wendell Carter: Posts strong double-double
Carter collected 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 win over the Wizards.
Carter looked sharp on the offensive end, knocking down 70.0 percent of his tries from the field while continuing to find success from beyond the arc. The Duke product has now drilled two or more triples in three straight matchups. Carter hasn't been overly impressive in the scoring column so far this year, but he's come alive of late, posting 18 and now 16 points in back-to-back games.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Strong line in win
Carter closed with 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.
Carter put up a season-high 18 points in the win, helping the Magic improve to 2-4 on the season. Apart from a dud in his previous outing against Detroit in which he fouled out in 15 minutes, Carter has been solid this campaign. Through six games, he's 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.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Serviceable performance Friday
Carter provided 10 points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-11 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 111-107 loss to the Hawks.
Carter put together another decent performance, falling two rebounds short of a double-double. While he certainly hasn't set the world on fire with his early-season production, the signs are encouraging. He is firmly penciled in as the starting center, and to this point, Goga Bitadze hasn't done much to press his case. The upside is somewhat limited, but as long as his role is secure, Carter should be able to hold backend value in standard leagues.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Nears double-double in win
Carter posted nine points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 125-121 victory over Miami.
Carter led the team with five offensive rebounds and played 11 more minutes than fellow big man Goga Bitadze. Once Moritz Wagner (knee) returns, however, there is no guarantee that Carter will retain this kind of usage, but in the meantime, Carter provides value that fantasy managers should monitor moving forward.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Double-doubles in win
Carter finished with 20 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block across 21 minutes during Friday's 128-98 preseason win over the 76ers.
Carter put on a show in only 21 minutes on the floor Friday. The Duke product led the way for his squad in points and rebounds, finishing with the only double-double of the game while helping lead his team to a 30-point blowout win.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Efficient in limited run Saturday
Carter contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes in Saturday's 126-118 preseason win over the Heat.
Carter was one of six Magic players to score double-digit points and one of three to record multiple blocks. The 26-year-old center is coming off a down season in which his usage rate dropped to a career-low 16.1 percent, and that trend may continue with Desmond Bane now in the mix. Carter averaged 9.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.9 minutes per game in a career-high 68 regular-season appearances (51 starts) in the 2024-25 campaign.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Records double-double in defeat
Carter supplied 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Although the Magic were bounced out of the playoffs in short order, Carter enjoyed success against a formidable Boston frontcourt, posting some of his best rebound totals of the season. Low shot volume resulted in only two double-doubles during the series, but he averaged 10.8 rebounds over the five-game set. Moritz Wagner's season-ending knee injury opened the door for Carter to emerge as a full-time starter, and he should begin next season with the first unit if he remains with the team.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Grabs team-high 11 boards
Carter ended Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 36 minutes.
Carter made his presence felt in Game 4 by crashing the glass, leading his team in that category with 11. The veteran big man has recorded 11 or more rebounds in three of the last four games. The Duke product averaged 7.2 rebounds per game during the regular season, which is one of the lowest totals of his career.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Double-doubles in Game 3 win
Carter had 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Friday's 95-93 victory over the Celtics in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Carter recorded his first double-double of the series, albeit a modest one. Despite having nailed down the starting center position, Carter has been far from dominant. Through the first three games, Carter is averaging 10.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 30.6 minutes per game.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Misses out on double-double
Carter racked up 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-100 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After scoring just four points in Game 1, Carter converted all three of his three-point attempts in Game 2 and was Orlando's third-leading scorer. Carter averaged 7.2 rebounds per game during the regular season but is averaging 10.5 boards per contest so far in the playoffs.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Grabs 13 rebounds in loss
Carter chipped in four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and 13 rebounds in 28 minutes during Sunday's 103-86 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Carter struggled to get going offensively in Game 1 in Boston, finishing with only four points. However, he did make an impact on the glass, grabbing a team-high 13 rebounds. Unfortunately, the Celtics proved to be too much to handle for the Magic in this series opener, resulting in Orlando losing convincingly on the road.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Productive in win
Carter provided 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game victory over the Hawks.
This was Carter's highest-scoring performance since Feb. 6. Games like this have been few and far between. For the regular season, Carter finished outside the top-150 in nine-category formats with averages of 9.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per game.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Will play Sunday
Carter (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Carter and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will play, while Franz Wagner (knee) and Paolo Banchero (ankle) will not. It's unclear if Carter will play the entire game after sitting out Friday's win in Indiana for rest purposes.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Questionable for season finale
Carter (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter didn't play in Friday's game against the Pacers due to a right hip contusion, and it was the first game he had missed since Nov. 25. However, with Orlando locked in as the seventh seed in the East, Carter and the rest of the starters could be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale. Carter's absence would mean more playing time for Jonathan Isaac and Goga Bitadze.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Out for Friday
Carter (hip) will not play Friday against the Pacers.
Carter will be sidelined for the first time since Nov. 25. He was previously carrying a questionable tag, so presumably, he's day-to-day. It remains to be seen if he'll play Sunday against the Hawks for the final game of the regular season. In the meantime, Jonathan Isaac and Goga Bitadze will likely soak up some additional minutes.
