Wagner brothers combine for 41 points as Magic beat Bulls
Moritz Wagner scored 23 points, younger brother Franz Wagner added 18 and the Orlando Magic defeated the shorthanded Chicago Bulls 114-95 on SundayJANUARY 24, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores 18 off bench Wednesday Okeke scored 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt) while adding three rebounds, an assist and a block in 21 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the 76ers.
Impact After five games in the starting lineup, Okeke moved back to the bench to make way for Jalen Suggs and responded by scoring more points than he had in any of those starts. Okeke continues to show flashes of his upside, and the six made threes were a career high for the 23-year-old wing, but his current role and the struggles of the roster around him limit his fantasy value to primarily dynasty formats.

Coming off bench Wednesday Okeke will come off the bench Wednesday against the 76ers.
Impact Jalen Suggs has been inserted back into the starting five, and coach Jamahl Mosley will keep Gary Harris in the starting group while moving Franz Wagner to power forward. That means Okeke will be coming off the bench. As a reserve, he's averaged 6.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.0 minutes.

Sitting out Friday Okeke (hip) will remain out for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Impact A bruised right hip will keep Okeke out of another game to begin the season, and it's not the most positive indication that he's been ruled out well in advance of Friday's tip. Nonetheless, the hope is that Okeke can debut Sunday at New York or Monday at Miami.
