  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter supplied 26 points (11-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 loss to the Nuggets. Carter was his team's most efficient shooter from the field, earning a season-high scoring total in Thursday's loss. He has started in each of the last nine contests, averaging 12.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game over that period. He'll look to extend a streak of three straight games with double-digit points in Utah on Saturday.

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter finished Saturday's 132-120 loss to New York with 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, four steals and two assists in 35 minutes. Carter provided another efficient performance Saturday and was one of five Magic players to score in double figures, recording 14 points for a second consecutive contest. The big man also tallied a game- and season-best four steals, doubling his previous season high in swipes. Carter has scored in double figures in back-to-back outings following a three-game stretch in which he totaled 20 points. He has grabbed at least six rebounds in each of those five appearances.

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 victory over the Heat. After scoring eight points on 2-of-8 shooting during Sunday's loss to New York, Carter bounced back and delivered an extremely efficient performance in Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals win. The big man also grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds, securing his first double-double since Nov. 18 and fourth on the campaign. While the 26-year-old isn't guaranteed to score in double figures on a nightly basis, his efficiency against Miami is encouraging after he shot just 31.8 percent from the field in his last three appearances.

  Carter recorded eight points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks. This was a mild effort for Carter as the Magic picked up their second loss over their last three games. Carter's fantasy appeal remains limited to late-round territory -- through 23 regular-season games, he's averaging 11.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 steals.

• Magic's Wendell Carter: Strong showing in win

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter finished Monday's 125-120 win over the Bulls with 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes. Carter has made a three-pointer in all but one of his last seven games, averaging 12.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks in that span while shooting 54.7 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from three. He has been very efficient with the ball in his hands, possibly due to open looks generated by his teammates, but Carter has shown that he can be a strong fantasy player and should be rostered in most formats.
