Orlando dropped three straight after Paolo Banchero — the team’s leading scorer and primary shot creator — went down with a torn right oblique. The expectation was the Magic would fall off a cliff, at least until Banchero returned.

Franz Wagner is trying to keep the Magic on track while Paolo Banchero is out. He's scored at least 22 points in his last six games.

Franz Wagner scored 32 points and Jalen Suggs hit his first seven shots, including three 3-pointers, to lead the Orlando Magic to a 114-89 win over the Charlotte Hornets.
