ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Nikola Vucevic scored 25 points off the bench, Victor Oladipo and Evan Fournier added 22 points each and the Orlando Magic topped the struggling Memphis Grizzlies 119-107 on Sunday night.

The Grizzlies, trying to hold onto the fifth seed in the Western Conference, have lost six straight games for their longest skid since November 2009. Memphis (41-36) held just a half-game lead over Portland for the fifth spot heading into Sunday night's action.

Orlando, meanwhile, has won three straight games at home and four of its last five. The Magic (33-44) continued their offensive surge that had seen them average more than 118 points in their previous four games heading into Sunday.

Memphis was led by Matt Barnes, who had 24 points. Zach Randolph added 15 points.
