Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Leads the way in win

Vucevic scored 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 FT) and added 14 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the 76ers.

Analysis:

Vucevic is playing well to start the season, grabbing 14 rebounds in three of the Magic's first four games while shooting 52 percent from the field. It appeared in the preseason that his stranglehold on a starting role might be in jeopardy with the offseason addition of Bismack Biyombo, but Vucevic has started all four games at center and hasn't seen his workload affected in a dramatic way. Vucevic will have to continue to fight to keep his role, but for now at least, he has the upper hand.
