6 years agoOrlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic tallied 24 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, and one steal for his 29th double-double in an overtime loss to the Pistons. The 28-year-old was 11-for-22 from the field and 2-for-4 from beyond the arc. He has produced five double-doubles this month and has scored at least 16 points in each of his eight January games. The 7-footer, who is also averaging 4.3 helpers this month, has made a three-pointer in eight of his last nine contests. Vucevic has a pretty strong matchup on Friday as the Magic host the Nets, who are allowing the 10th most points to opposing centers this season, although they have been much better in defending that position over the last 10 games.--Daniel Benjamin
