Kyle O'Quinn - F/C - Orlando Magic

Kyle O'Quinn made a rare start at PF on Saturday, but he fouled out with just four points (2-of-10 FGs) and six rebounds in 24 minutes.

Jacque Vaughn started O'Quinn to better match up with Kevin Garnett and the Celtics' frontcourt, but his lineup tweaks amounted to beans in a 32-point drubbing in Orlando. It seems Jason Terry's comments about the Magic being "terrible" didn't do much to fire them up.

Nikola Vucevic - C - Orlando Magic

Nikola Vucevic briefly exited Saturday's game with an injured left hand or wrist, but he returned to finish with 16 points, 12 rebounds, one steal and one block in 29 minutes.

Vucevic has been on fire of late, averaging 19.0 points and 16.6 rebounds in April. He knocked down 8-of-14 shots tonight, and his limited minutes were due to foul trouble and the lopsided score, so keep him locked into your active lineups.

Jameer Nelson - G - Orlando Magic

Jameer Nelson (ankle) did not attend shootaround and will not play Saturday night.

Nelson hasn't played since injuring the ankle March 29. The Magic have just two games left after Saturday night, but at this point, it would be pretty surprising if he played again this season. Beno Udrih will continue to start as long as Nelson sits.

Beno Udrih - G - Orlando Magic

Beno Udrih wasn't shy about shooting on Wednesday, making 6-of-22 from the field for 13 points to go with four boards, 11 assists, two steals and one 3-pointer against the Bucks.

Jameer Nelson is still day-to-day with his ankle injury, but he didn't really have much of a shot to play tonight. Udrih has been solid in the five previous games without Jameer, averaging 17.8 points, 7.8 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 triples on 50 percent shooting. He's a must-start player as long as Nelson is out.

Tobias Harris - F - Orlando Magic

Tobias Harris set a new career high with 19 boards to go with 30 points, five assists and three 3-pointers in 45 minutes against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Nikola Vucevic went for 30 points and 20 boards and the last time two NBA teammates had at least 30 points and 19 rebounds in the same game was Willis Reed (31 points, 21 rebounds) and Walt Bellamy (32 points, 22 rebounds) for the New York Knicks on March 15, 1967. Harris also shot 13-of-20 from the field and matched his career best in points. He has been a monster down the stretch and has a double-double in seven of his last eight games. Tobias is blocking shots, stealing and hitting threes, so his upside is as high as almost anyone else's. He's in the running for pickup of the year in fantasy leagues.

Doron Lamb - G - Orlando Magic

Doron Lamb scored a career-high 16 points vs. his former team on Wednesday, adding four boards, two assists, one steal and four 3-pointers in 35 minutes during a 113-103 overtime win over Milwaukee.

He played just seven minutes on Sunday and the Magic might have had some extra motivation to play him against his former team. Lamb hasn't exactly been a star rookie this year, making just 34.6 percent from the field and 59.3 percent from the line. He might have a chance to earn more playing time, but we'd probably need to see it again to pick him up in anything but a really deep league.

Nikola Vucevic - C - Orlando Magic

Nikola Vucevic scored a career-high 30 points to go with 20 boards in Wednesday's win over the Bucks, adding five assists, one steal and two blocks in 40 minutes.

He had 14 defensive boards and most of it can be attributed to the Bucks missing 62 field goals and nine free throws. Vucevic was a find by the Magic and the Sixers have to be kicking themselves pretty hard for just throwing him in the deal to get Andrew Bynum.
