Brooklyn Nets at Orlando Magic
· National Basketball AssociationFranz Wagner scores 29 points, Magic beat Nets 116-101 in home opener
Paolo Banchero had 15 points and nine assists after failing to make a field goal in the first half. Wendell Carter had 10 rebounds.
Cam Thomas scored 24 points for Brooklyn, and Dennis Schroeder added 20.
Brooklyn had its biggest lead at 53-49 after Ben Simmons scored the first seven points of the second half.
Magic: With big contributions from their bench in both games, the Magic showed they can win when Banchero is not at his best — at least at home. Since March 30, including their first-round playoff loss to Cleveland, the Magic have won eight straight at home while losing seven of eight on the road.
