Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Collects fifth straight double-double Thursday

Vucevic tallied 18 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocks across 30 minutes in Thursday's 95-94 loss to the Grizzlies.

Analysis:

Vucevic has moved to the bench for the last three games, but it hasn't resulted in a dip in his production, as the center is averaging 15.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 28.3 minutes over those contests. However, he's connected on only 41.3 percent of his shot attempts, and the lack of efficiency from the floor and free-throw line have lessened the impact of his strong counting stats. His 43.2 percent mark from the field on the season is the lowest of his career, while his 58.3 percent mark from the free-throw line represents a 17-point drop from 2015-16.
