Mon Dec 31 2012 | 20:00 | Nicholson sputters after big Saturday |
Andrew Nicholson followed up his career-high 22 point effort from Saturday with 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting with three rebounds in 17 minutes on Monday against the Heat. |
Nicholson put up zeroes throughout the rest of his stat line and like we had mentioned over the weekend, he can stay on the wire outside of the deepest formats. |

Andrew Nicholson scored a career-high 22 points to go with seven rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes against the Raptors on Saturday. |
Conventional wisdom would suggest that Nicholson did some work in garbage time, but only two of his 22 points came in the fourth quarter. Gustavo Ayon, who played just four minutes, and Nicholson are likely in a timeshare, so standard league owners should probably just avoid this situation. |

Sun Dec 23 2012 | 20:42 | Andrew Nicholson quiet in 11 minutes |
Magic rookie Andrew Nicholson had eight points and zero rebounds off the bench on Sunday, logging 11 minutes behind Gustavo Ayon at PF. |
Glen Davis' shoulder injury has opened up frontcourt minutes, but Jacque Vaughn doesn't seem ready to throw his rookie into the fire just yet. The Magic are shockingly within 1.5 games of the eighth seed in the East (trailing the 76ers and Celtics), and we may not see Nicholson truly unleashed as long as they're competitive. |

Fri Dec 21 2012 | 19:01 | Andrew Nicholson to start at PF on Friday |
Rookie Andrew Nicholson will get the first crack at replacing Glen Davis (shoulder) in the starting lineup Friday. |
Despite the promotion, Nicholson is unlikely to see a huge bump in minutes immediately and it remains to be seen if this is a permanent move. We'll have to see how he handles the new role before recommending him in deeper leagues. |

Sat Dec 15 2012 | 22:19 | Andrew Nicholson plays 16 minutes vs. CHA |
Andrew Nicholson played just 16 minutes and had eight points and three rebounds against the Bobcats on Saturday. |
Nicholson was getting out attention by playing 25 minutes per game in his previous four contests, but only getting 16 minutes tonight is a tough pill to swallow. He's still no the radar in deeper leagues for now. |

Fri Dec 14 2012 | 21:52 | Nicholson whoops up on soft Warriors defense |
Andrew Nicholson took advantage of the soft marshmallow interior of the Warriors' defense on Friday, scoring 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting with nine rebounds and four blocks in 25 minutes. |
Nicholson did all of his damage in the first half and the opponent needs to be considered here when making your evaluation. He has been putting up interesting numbers lately, but the consistency isn't there yet. Consider him a risky speculative stash in 14-16 team formats. |

Wed Dec 12 2012 | 21:55 | Andrew Nicholson quiet in loss to Hawks |
Andrew Nicholson hit 3-of-9 shots in 26 minutes for eight points and seven rebounds in Wednesday's loss. |
He looked tentative tonight, but has looked confident at times this season. He's a rookie and is going to be up and down all season, but could become relevant later this season, especially if the Magic have injury issues. |

Sun Dec 9 2012 | 23:21 | Andrew Nicholson scores career-high 19 pts |
Magic rookie Andrew Nicholson had a career night on Sunday, scoring 19 points with nine rebounds, three assists and four steals in just 25 minutes. |
Orlando's young and energetic second unit took advantage of a Suns bench that included Jermaine O'Neal, Luis Scola, Michael Beasley and rookie Diante Garrett at PG. Nicholson is still prone to turnovers and foul trouble, but he scored 14 points on Friday and made 9-of-11 FGs tonight, which has him squarely on our radar. |

Rookie forward Andrew Nicholson scored 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting with five rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench on Friday against the Kings. |
Nicholson had a nice preseason but has been mostly quiet this season. If he strings together a few outings we'll let you know. |

Rookie forward Andrew Nicholson scored 15 points off the bench on Wednesday against the Pistons, hitting 7-of-9 shots with four rebounds in 21 minutes. |

Thu Nov 8 2012 | 00:08 | Nicholson gets 27 minutes in Magic loss |
Rookie Andrew Nicholson played 27 minutes and had 11 points, five rebounds and two blocks on Wednesday. |
It appears that Jacque Vaughn got mad and benched Glen Davis and Nikola Vucevic, which explains Nicholson's big minutes. This has fluke written all over it. |

Fri Nov 2 2012 | 22:56 | Nicholson a guy to watch after Hedo injury |
Andrew Nicholson played just 11 minutes in Friday's win, scoring two points on 1-of-3 shooting with two rebounds, one assist, and one block. |
We wouldn't normally blurb a line like this, but Nicholson had a nice preseason and the Hedo Turkoglu injury will open up minutes throughout the rotation. Tonight Josh McRoberts (27 minutes) was the favored play over the rookie, which makes sense this early in the season. Just keep one eye on Nicholson in deep formats. |

Fri Oct 26 2012 | 22:07 | Nicholson quiet in final preseason game |
Andrew Nicholson hit just 2-of-8 shots to finish with five points, seven rebounds and a block in Friday's preseason loss to Houston. |
He has some talent but chances are you can find a better way to use a late draft pick, considering that Glen Davis is starting at power forward this season. |
