Frank Vogel Makes Starting Lineup Changes: Not afraid to make changes that could potentially jar the Orlando Magic out of their early-season struggles, head coach Frank Vogel dramatically altered the look of the starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks. Vogel inserted point guard D.J. Augustin and Bismack Biyombo into the starting five and moved Nikola Vucevic and Elfrid Payton – both starters much of the past 2 1/2 seasons – to the second unit. Also, Vogel moved Aaron Gordon back into the starting group when veteran Jeff Green was a scratch because of a sore lower back. -- Magic.com
