Nikola Vucevic Leads The Way For The Magic
6 years agoOrlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had an efficient all-around outing Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Vucevic scored 24 points on 10 of 16 shooting with two of those buckets coming from deep. Also in the contest, Vucevic had 11 rebounds and two steals. In the last three games, Vucevic has averaged 25 points and 12 boards. Next up for Vucevic and the Orlando Magic is the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. The Bucks have the sixth-best defensive rating in the league so DFS players may want to avoid Vucevic even with his strong play as of late.

Zach Collins had an impressive stint as a starter while Vucevic was recovering from his calf injury earlier this month. Jalen Smith will also be in line for more usage if Vucevic ends up back on the shelf.
