Andrew Nicholson got back in the rotation on Tuesday with five points, three rebounds and one 3-pointer in 14 minutes. The Magic lost Nikola Vuecvic to an ankle injury and Nicholson's playing time tonight topped his previous three combined of 12 minutes. There is still very little reason to pick him up in almost any league.

Andrew Nicholson scored 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting (including two threes) with 11 rebounds and four blocks in 37 minutes in Monday's loss to the Grizzlies. Nicholson did his damage with no Nikola Vucevic around, and with the big man being day-to-day it's hard to get too excited about Nicholson's production. In a deeper league though, he's worth a look. Glen Davis scored 16 points with nine assists and three blocks, Victor Oladipo scored 10 points with a normal line, Jameer Nelson scored 19 points and a normal line, and Arron Afflalo scored 17 points with a normal line.

Andrew Nicholson started at power forward and had eight points, three boards and one block in 28 minutes against the Knicks on Friday. He didn't take any 3-pointers tonight and was doing more work out of the post than usual. Nicholson has some major issues on defense and he hasn't helped himself much with some extra opportunity while the Magic are banged up. He's not worth owning in most leagues.

Andrew Nicholson is in the starting lineup against the Knicks on Friday. He'll start at power forward next to Jameer Nelson, Arron Afflalo, Victor Oladipo and Glen Davis. Nicholson played 38 minutes against the Sixers on Tuesday and is worth a look as a spot-start vs. a weak NYK frontcourt.

Andrew Nicholson scored 11 points off the bench against the Sixers on Wednesday, adding five boards and one 3-pointer in 17 minutes. The Magic gave Glen Davis some more minutes tonight and have been more than comfortable using a smaller lineup. Nicholson gets hot from time to time, including his 18-point game on Tuesday, but he's not quite worth owning in most leagues.

Andrew Nicholson saw an unexpected 25 minutes of action on Tuesday, scoring 18 points with eight boards, one block and one 3-pointer on 8-of-11 shooting. Tobias Harris was a late scratch with an ankle injury, so Nicholson got the call as the main guy off the bench with Glen Davis moving into the starting lineup. Harris isn't expected to be out long, so Nicholson is only worth a look in deeper leagues on a short-term basis.

The Magic beat the Nets by 21 points on Sunday with a boost from Andrew Nicholson, who double-doubled off the bench with 17 points and 11 rebounds. He even blocked a shot and went without any turnovers in his 26 minutes on the court, earning the favor of any nine-cat owners using him as a low-end big man. His per-minute stats are impeccable this year, other than a whopping 6.4 personal fouls per 36 minutes.

Andrew Nicholson scored nine points with five rebounds in 30 minutes off the bench on Friday. Nicholson hit 4-of-10 shots (including a three) and saw extra minutes because of the lopsided score, but he has yet to follow up on his big night and with returns for Tobias Harris and eventually Big Baby on the way he's only worth watching in deep leagues.

Andrew Nicholson scored all 18 of his points in the first half of Tuesday night's game against the Pacers, adding four rebounds, one steal and two 3-pointers in 19 minutes. He shot 8-of-9 in the first half and missed his only shot in the second half. Interestingly, Nicholson did not play at all in the third quarter and didn't play down the stretch in the fourth. The Magic were unbelievably bad on offense and without Nicholson's production, they scored 69 points on 83 field goal attempts. He'll have a tough time keeping it up once Tobias Harris (ankle) comes back, but he's worth a look as a stop-gap option in deeper leagues.
