• Magic's Wendell Carter: Leads Orlando in defeat

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter amassed 19 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 112-90 loss to the Nuggets. Carter led the Magic in points during a low-scoring affair. However, the big man struggled to fill the stat sheet, recording fewer than five rebounds for the first time since Jan. 12. Carter has come off the bench in each of his last five appearances, averaging 10.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals across 24.6 minutes per contest.

• Magic's Wendell Carter: Records seven assists

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter ended with six points (3-4 FG), nine rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes during Monday's 104-99 loss to the Warriors. Carter matched his career-best mark of seven assists and played 28 minutes compared to 20 for starting center Goga Bitadze. This is a position battle to monitor, but it's worth noting that Bitadze has strung together a few duds in a row. Carter's stats haven't jumped off the page either, to be fair, as he's averaging 8.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists over his last three games with a total of one steal and zero blocks.

• Magic's Wendell Carter: Moving to bench

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. Carter found success with the first unit while Goga Bitadze recovered from a concussion, averaging 11.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals over seven starts, but the Duke product will return to a bench role now that Bitadze is a full go. Carter will certainly see chances to produce off the bench and should log between 20-to-25 minutes behind Bitadze.

• Magic's Wendell Carter: Plays 36 minutes in loss

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Carter accumulated 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 125-119 double-overtime loss to the Heat. Goga Bitadze returned to action Monday but saw 22 minutes compared to 36 for Carter. The double overtime inflated this number, however, and Bitadze was likely on some restrictions. Despite this strong showing for Carter, the presence of Bitadze will make this a position battle worth monitoring closely.

  Carter racked up 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 113-100 loss to Denver. Carter did it all for Orlando in Sunday's contest, leading all Magic players in scoring and rebounds to go along with team-high-tying marks in assists and steals in a double-double performance. Carter tied a season high in rebounds, a mark he last tallied Oct. 23. Carter has posted a double-double on four occasions, but this was his first of the season with at least five assists to go along with double-figure scoring and rebound totals.
