Nicholson finished with 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and one steal in 23 minutes during the Magic's 107-99 loss to the Hornets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nicholson had played 24 minutes combined during his four prior appearances in March, and saw the floor just five times in February. There was a 29-game stretch between November and December during which Nicholson played in every contest. However, he has long been an afterthought in coach Scott Skiles' rotation. With that being said, Nikola Vucevic is nursing a strained groin, and has missed six straight games. As a result, Nicholson could be called upon more often, at least until Vucevic is able to return.
