Analysis:

Due in part to Nicholson's mediocre play, the Magic played small nearly half the game, despite coach Jacque Vaughn's known preference for larger lineups. Nicholson has struggled often this season, no matter how many minutes he has played. With Tobias Harris (ankle) slated to return in the coming days, Nicholson looks likely to find himself relegated to a much smaller bench role.
