Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Another double-double in Saturday's win

Vucevic scored 12 points (5-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 12 rebounds and an assist in 26 minutes during Saturday's 95-87 win over the Mavericks.

Analysis:

It's Vucevic's second straight double-double and fifth of the year, as the Magic frontcourt thoroughly dominated the Mavs on the glass and came within a Serge Ibaka board of having three double-doubles on the night. Vucevic's shooting continues to be an issue, however, as his 41.6 percent from the floor and 48.1 percent from the free throw line are both far below his career norms. He isn't being listed on the injury report, but it seems likely that the shoulder strain he suffered early in the month is still affecting him.
