C 1 - Nikola Vucevic (Orlando Magic)

The Orlando Magic had a great start to their 2018-19 NBA season, but off late have been on a really bad streak, falling to a 12-15 record and are in the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

They're on a 3-7 run in their last 10 games and have to pick it up against the Chicago Bulls in the game tomorrow. In their last game, they scored only 76 points, losing to the Dallas Mavericks. But their rise to the playoff spots has been due to their center, Nikola Vucevic's career year.

Vucevic has been having a solid start to his season, averaging almost 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists per game, which are All-Star numbers for a big man. He also attempts a lot of 3s, generating a lot of floor spacing for his teammates. In the last match against the Mavericks, his shot did not seem to land and he scored only 8 points along with 15 rebounds. But he has managed 3 double-doubles in the last 4 games and has been the driving force of this Magic team.
Alternative pick: Clint Capela (Houston Rockets)
