• Magic's Franz Wagner: Comes close to triple-double

He's surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his 14 appearances since the All-Star Game, but that's not all, as he's also averaging 5.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game over that stretch.

He's averaging 21.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game since the beginning of March.
