Franz Wagner pours in a season-high 33 as the Magic snap a four-game skid at Sacramento
Franz Wagner scored a season-high 33 points and made all 10 of his free throws while Anthony Black added 26 as short-handed Orlando beat Sacramento 107-100.

Franz Wagner is carrying the Orlando Magic right now.
Wagner scored a season-high 33 points with seven rebounds and seven assists as the Magic beat the Sacramento Kings 107-100 on Tuesday night. The win snapped a four-game losing streak.
He made all 10 of his free throws. It was his second straight game with at least 30 points after he had 30 points and 11 assists in a loss to Golden State on Saturday.
Black steps up
Anthony Black scored 26 points with seven rebounds, five assists and four steals. Desmond Bane added 15 points and Wendell Carter Jr. grabbed 11 rebounds.
Wagner hit a 3-pointer to finish an 18-5 run in the second quarter. That put Orlando ahead 52-43 with 3:10 left in the half. The Magic led the rest of the way.
Orlando did it without four rotation players. Paolo Banchero missed his eighth straight game with a high ankle sprain. Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac and Tristan da Silva were also out.
A rookie chasing Jordan
Sacramento got big nights from its guards. Zach LaVine scored 31 points and made six of his nine 3-point tries.
Rookie Darius Acuff Jr. hit four 3s and finished with 29 points. The 19-year-old has 288 points through 11 games. That is the most by a rookie that early in a season since Michael Jordan scored 289 for the Chicago Bulls in 1984.
Domantas Sabonis returned after missing Sunday's game with left knee soreness. He went scoreless on two shots in 24 minutes but had five assists.
Where they stand
The Magic are 3-7. They play again Wednesday night at Utah.
The Kings have lost four straight and are 1-10. They are still looking for their first home win after six tries. Sacramento hosts Portland on Friday.
