Banchero shot 9 for 15 from the field and went 3 of 6 from 3-point range in 26 minutes for his fourth double-double.
Wendell Carder Jr. added 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Franz Wagner scored 25 points as the Magic won consecutive games after an early season four-game skid.

Keyshawn George scored 17 points and CJ McCollum added 13 as the Wizards lost their fourth straight overall and third straight at home. Washington has dropped 11 consecutive games against the Magic.
The Wizards shot 39.8% (39 of 98) from the floor in their lowest-scoring game of the new season.
After a first quarter of seven ties and four lead changes, Orlando outscored Washington 43-21 in the second and held a 75-56 lead at halftime.
Banchero hit 5 of 7 shots and scored 15 points, and Wagner added 11 points as the Magic shot 60.9% from the floor in the period.
