The Magic are in the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, and Wagner and Banchero have been the driving force behind Orlando\'s fantastic play this season. Both have made huge leaps forward, however Wagner is my preferred target from a betting perspective. The third-year small forward has shown a steady increase in points, rebounds and assists per game every season and doesn\'t miss games. Wagner has the second-highest usage rate on the Magic behind Banchero. With a distinctive blend of skills, he effortlessly moves between shooting from the mid-range and displaying deft ball-handling. Wagner\'s versatility sets him apart, showcasing an underrated ability to create opportunities for himself. With a remarkable blend of finesse, strategic changes in pace, composed gameplay, and precise footwork, Wagner is a formidable challenge for opposing defenders. Over the last 15 games, he\'s averaged 23.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Even at his current odds, Wagner, the league\'s most underappreciated two-way wing, should not be overlooked. WorkFantasy basketball rankings 2023-24: Head-to-head points  1.
