Best Franz Wagner prop bets for Magic at Trail Blazers

The Magic are visiting the Trail Blazers on Thursday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Orlando is favored by 5.5 points and this game sports a total of 212 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Franz Wagner prop bet to consider from this contest.


Best Franz Wagner Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Franz Wagner O 33.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)

After being limited in his first game back after missing over a month due to an oblique injury, Wagner has seen no limitations in his last two starts. First, the forward posted 32 points, seven assists, and four rebounds in 30 minutes vs. the Pistons. Then, Wagner recorded 29 points, eight rebounds, and three assists across 39 minutes vs. the Heat.

Wagner is clearly back to full strength and the Magic desperately need him on the floor as much as possible, as they have lost eight of their last 10 games. The Magic are only a 5.5-point favorite tonight against the Trail Blazers and this game should be tight from start-to-finish, as Portland has been playing very well recently, winning five of their last games, most recently with a victory over the Bucks.

Wagner should see 35 to 40 minutes in this environment and exceed this 33.5 PRA line that is just too low for him at full strength. Wagner is handling a 31.9% usage rate and a 32.3% assist rate this season, which has helped him average 24.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, which equates to 35.7 PRA per game. All of these numbers are career highs for Wagner, and he needs to be backed for over 33.5 PRA against this Trail Blazers team that ranks 26th in defensive efficiency this season.
