Andrew Nicholson played just 16 minutes on Monday, scoring eight points on 4-of-7 shooting with two rebounds and one assist. Nicholson did not record a steal or block and he has struggled enough to be dropped in standard formats. Just keep an eye on him to see if he can get his act together.

Andrew Nicholson shot 7-of-8 from the field for 17 points with no boards, one assist and two turnovers in just 17 minutes against the Rockets on Friday. It was the was the third game in a row in which he logged just 17 minutes. Things aren't looking good for Nicholson and his arrow is pointing down with Tobias Harris taking his lunch money.

Andrew Nicholson played just 17 minutes on Tuesday, finishing with 13 points, two rebounds and a block in a win over the Sixers. Al Harrington made his debut tonight after multiple knee surgeries, played 12 minutes and appeared to limit Nicholson's playing time, while the emergence of Tobias Harris isn't helping, either. But let's see what happens in the next one before panicking if you own Nicholson, as Harrington probably isn't going to be able to handle heavy minutes going forward.

Andrew Nicholson scored 14 points with one board, one steal and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 88-82 loss to the Grizzlies. He's basically the last man standing at power forward and coach Jacque Vaughn is probably going to play him as many minutes as he can handle. Nicholson turned some heads during NBA Summer League and he'll have a tremendous opportunity here. Any owner that needs a power forward can give him a look.

Andrew Nicholson played 31 minutes against the Mavericks on Wednesday and scored 10 points with seven rebounds and two assists. Kyle O'Quinn didn't score in four minutes while Gustavo Ayon only scored four in 12 minutes. Nicholson looks to have the inside track for minutes at power forward, but the Magic could be getting some frontcourt help tomorrow. He's still worth a look for any owner looking for big man help.

Andrew Nicholson made the start on Tuesday and had 13 points, 12 rebounds and a steal on 5-of-13 shooting in 32 minutes in a loss to the Bobcats. Nicholson came in averaging 12 points and six rebounds over his previous five games, and those numbers are going up after this one. This was just his second double-double of the season, but both have come in February. As long as Nicholson continues to start for the Magic, he's worth grabbing in many fantasy leagues.

Andrew Nicholson started and had 10 points and six rebounds on 5-of-9 shooting in 28 minutes as the Magic were blown out at home by the Hawks Wednesday. Nicholson is an interesting fantasy prospect right now, and Josh McRoberts actually started over him in the second half, when the game was already decided. McBob finished with zero points in six minutes, and Nicholson's value could be impacted when Al Harrington comes back from knee surgery after the break. But Nicholson has enough upside to be given a close look going forward, as long as he hangs onto the starting power forward job.

Andrew Nicholson only played 22 minutes in Sunday's win, scoring 14 points with five rebounds, one steal and one block. Gustavo Ayon blew up in a reserve role and Nikola Vucevic was a rebound magnet, as usual, so Nicholson wound up on the short end of the rotation. Inconsistency is a given, but there's enough upside here to own Orlando's starting PF in most leagues.

Andrew Nicholson scored 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting with eight rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 31 minutes on Friday against the Cavs. Nicholson has shown the ability to put up numbers, and despite the fact that he will deal with some inconsistency, he is a quickly emerging stash candidate. The Magic have little to no reason not to give him big developmental minutes down the stretch. Nikola Vucevic added a career-high 25 points and 13 rebounds in Friday's loss.

Andrew Nicholson finished Monday's ugly defeat with 11 points and six boards in 28 minutes off the bench. The bench role isn't surprising considering how awful he was as the starting PF on Saturday, when he scored six points with three turnovers and four personal fouls in 10 minutes. There's some upside here, but Nicholson has been far too erratic for use in average leagues.
