Nikola Vucevic scores 25 points, pulls down 13 rebounds for Magic in loss
Orlando Magic forward/center Nikola Vucevic scored 25 points with 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 4 turnovers on Monday in a 105-97 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
Vucevic went 11-of-19 from the field and 3-of-6 from beyond the arc while playing through some soreness in his knee. Perhaps this will get things rolling for Vucevic heading into a matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. He was averaging just 9.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in two games heading into Monday night.
Vucevic scored 45.6 FanDuel points on Monday, giving him his first 40.0-plus point performance since November 8. Orlando's talented big man is averaging 34.4 FanDuel points per game this season.
