Vucevic, coming off a 27-point, 13-rebound, 12-assist performance in a Saturday night loss to Philadelphia, will lead the Magic into the TD Garden to take on Horford and the Celtics.
Like so many big men who came into the NBA as back-to-the-basket centers, Vucevic has had to expand his game to include the 3-point shot.
In his first six seasons, Vucevic only had 30 made 3's.
Last season, he more than doubled that total (64), and so far this season has been flawless on 3-point shooting while making each of his four attempts.
Horford hasn't been quite that efficient, but he has shown the propensity to connect from beyond the 3-point line as well.
