Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Solid effort despite modest playing time

Vucevic totaled 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 25 minutes in Thursday's 122-92 loss to the Warriors.

Analysis:

Vucevic had been on a tear over the previous three games he'd been active for, scoring between 20 and 25 points in those contests before seeing a corresponding downturn in production with a reduced amount of playing time in Thursday's blowout loss. He continued his excellent work on the glass, however, and he's now hauled in between eight and 19 rebounds in the last 12 contests. The six-year veteran could be in for a resurgence as soon as Friday, when Orlando takes on the vulnerable Suns defense.
