Nikola Vucevic Scores 13 Points And 13 Rebounds
Nikola Vucevic struggled from the floor on Tuesday when he connected on just five of his 14 shots en route to 13 points in the loss to the Raptors. Vucevic did salvage his line by adding 13 rebounds while connecting on two of his three attempts from three and he also added three assists on the night. Vucevic will go down as one the steals of the drafts this season as he has secured top-15 value in nine-category leagues and went in the middle rounds of many drafts this season. The Magic have a slim chance of making the playoffs in the East, and if they get eliminated, there is a chance we see them shut down the Vooch.

Nikola Vucevic Dealing With Back Injury, Questionable For Thursday
Nikola Vucevic (back) may have to come out of the lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers after the team listed him as questionable for the game. After missing time due to a calf injury, Vucevic has made eight consecutive appearances, but he could be sidelined again as he deals with a mid-back strain. 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.

Nikola Vucevic Remains Out On Saturday

He was listed as doubtful coming into this game and his timetable to return to the court is unclear. Zach Collins and Matas Buzelis should continue seeing increased playing time while Vucevic is out. Both players are worth a look as streaming options right now. Collins has been on a hot streak lately with three double-doubles over his last five games.

Nikola Vucevic Tagged As Doubtful For Saturday
Nikola Vucevic (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Vucevic has missed six games in a row and appears to be headed towards a seventh absence. This is a shame because Vucevic was having an excellent season up to this point, but can't seem to shake this calf strain. Zach Collins and Matas Buzelis should both continue seeing increased roles while Vucevic is sidelined. Buzelis has played nearly 30 minutes in each of the last three games and is producing decent streaming value right now.
