Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers
· National Basketball AssociationFranz Wagner and Jalen Suggs power the Magic to a 106-102 win over the short-handed 76ers
Wagner made 12 of 23 shots from the floor with a 3-pointer and converted all 10 free throws to lead the Magic past the short-handed Sixers.
Philadelphia was not at full strength. Joel Embiid, Paul George, Andre Drummond and Kyle Lowry sat out due to injuries or rest.
An expected Eastern Conference favorite in the preseason, the Sixers dropped to 5-15. Coach Nick Nurse said there was a chance Embiid, who has played only four games this season, could play Friday when the teams play again in Philadelphia.
Wagner scored 25 points through three quarters before snapping a tie game in the fourth and helping the Magic stretch the lead.
Suggs hit four of Orlando's eight 3-pointers.
Jared McCain, Philadelphia's first-round pick who has emerged as an early Rookie of the Year candidate, scored 24 points. Tyrese Maxey had 16.
The Magic, an emerging team out of the Eastern Conference, played only four players off the bench but three of them scored in double digits.
Magic: Rebounded from a loss a night earlier in New York and won for the seventh time in eight games.
