• Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Fills stat sheet in season-ending win

  04/13/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Vucevic scored 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and added 11 rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons. Vucevic ended the season with back-to-back double-doubles. This season was a mixed bag for Vucevic - he added a three-point shot, but posted some of the worst field goal and free throw numbers of his career. He had to fight for minutes, frequently coming off the bench, but his production improved throughout the season.

• Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Posts double-double in blowout loss

  04/11/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Vucevic posted 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block during 27 minutes of action in Monday's 122-75 loss to the Bulls. The Magic were down 27 at the half in what was one of their worst losses in recent memory, but Vucevic still neared his season average in minutes, leading the team in scoring and rebounding. Though his scoring has regressed this season, Vucevic has returned to averaging double-digit rebounds (just 8.9 in 2016) and has developed a reliable outside shot. He will look to finish the season on a high note Wednesday against the Pistons.

• Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Again beats up the Nets for a double-double

  04/07/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Vucevic scored 18 points (9-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and added 12 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 win over the Nets. After beating up on the Nets when they played Saturday, Vucevic again posted a dominant double-double. On top of that, though Vucevic is not usually considered a strong defender, he managed to help limit Brook Lopez to just 10 points Thursday, less than half his season average. Vucevic is ending the season strong, posting his seventh double-double in the last 10 games.

• Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Double-double in Saturday's loss

  04/02/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Vucevic scored 27 points (13-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt) while adding 11 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 loss to the Nets. It's his sixth double-double in the last eight games, and 35th on the season. Vucevic is averaging 16.5 points, 12.4 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over that eight-game stretch, and while injuries have made this something of a down season for the 26-year-old, he seems intent on finishing it on the upswing.

• Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Flirts with tripe-double Wednesday

  03/23/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Vucevic recorded 14 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes of action in Wednesday's 109-102 loss to the Hornets. Vucevic came just two assists shy of recorded his first triple-double of the season en route to one of his better fantasy lines on the year as he met or surpassed each of his statistical averages on the season. The Magic center has clearly benefited from the Orlando frontcourt becoming less crowded since their deadline trade to get rid of Serge Ibaka. Vucevic is averaging 18.8 points per game in 11 contests since the trade took place versus just 13.9 PPG prior to the deal.
