Mario Hezonja heading back to Orlando's second unit on Thursday night
Orlando Magic shooting guard Mario Hezonja will return to the bench on Thursday against the New York Knicks.
Aaron Gordon (hip) and Nikola Vucevic (hand) are both returning to the starting lineup tonight after extended absences, sending Hezonja back to his role with Orlando's second unit. Head coach Frank Vogel said he'll "keep playing him a lot of minutes," but it's worth noting that Jonathan Isaac (ankle) may also return to the rotation as early as next week. That said, Hezonja was averaging 17.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals, and 2.0 3-pointers across seven games in February before the All-Star break.
numberFire's models project Hezonja to score 15.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,000 on Thursday.
