ANDRE DRUMMOND NEWS

Scores 15 points off bench Drummond finished Sunday's 104-96 win over the Trail Blazers with 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 17 minutes.

Impact Vucevic didn't have his best performance Sunday, but Drummond made his presence felt despite failing to reach the 20-minute threshold for the fifth game in a row. Drummond has scored in double digits while grabbing seven or more rebounds in three of his last four games, and while he has shown the ability to put up big numbers in limited minutes, his fantasy upside will remain limited as long as he remains in his current role.

Probable for Monday Dummond is listed as probable to play Monday against the Suns due to lower back spasms.

Impact Drummond has dealt with lower back spasms throughout the past week, although he has yet to miss a game this season for Chicago. He posted 15 points and 10 rebounds in a customary 19 minute workload during Saturday's win over Memphis, putting him firmly on track to play Monday.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in 19 minutes Drummond recorded 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and four steals across 19 minutes during Saturday's 125-96 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Despite coming into the game under an injury cloud, Drummond took advantage of a favorable matchup, tallying another double-double, and adding four steals for good measure. While this was a noteworthy performance, the fact they were matched up against the Grizzlies has to be accounted for when analyzing his efforts. With Nikola Vucevic fully healthy, Drummond should be viewed as a possible streaming option for anyone needing boards and defensive stats.

Officially active Drummond (back) will play Saturday against Memphis

Impact Drummond will continue his perfect attendance this season after being listed as probable earlier in the day due to lower back spasms. He joins a fully healthy Bulls' frontcourt, setting him up to reprise a 10-to-20 minute role Saturday.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Saturday Drummond (back) is probable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Drummond also carried a probable designation ahead of Thursday's game against the Raptors, but he suited up and tallied five points, four rebounds and a block in 10 minutes. He'll likely be able to play once again Saturday.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Will face Toronto Drummond (back) is available to face the Raptors on Thursday.

Impact Drummond was always expected to play Thursday, so his availability isn't entirely surprising here. That said, the veteran big man will operate as Nikola Vucevic's backup once again, so his upside will be limited in what is expected to be a limited role off the bench.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Thursday Drummond is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Raptors due to right lower back spasms.

Impact Drummond has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Thursday despite dealing with back spasms. The veteran big man will likely continue to serve as Chicago's backup center to Nikola Vucevic if he's upgraded to available.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet again in loss Drummond chipped in five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 12 minutes during Friday's 140-131 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Drummond's time as a 12-team asset appears to have come to an end, logging just 12 minutes in the loss. He had been one of the hottest pickups in fantasy while Nikola Vucevic was sidelined, turning back the clock with some gaudy stat lines. However, with Vucevic fully healthy, Drummond has moved back to a bench role, playing limited minutes as the primary backup. Outside of streaming appeal, Drummond is unlikely to have sustainable value moving forward.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Drummond isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Nikola Vucevuc will reclaim his starting job from Drummond on Wednesday. Drummond is averaging 6.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 14.6 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-double Monday Drummond posted 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-3 FT) and 15 rebounds over 23 minutes during Monday's 119-112 overtime win over Charlotte.

Impact While Nikola Vucevic has returned to the lineup from a groin injury, he's come off the bench the last two games as the Bulls haven't wanted to disrupt the good thing Drummond has going. The veteran center has ripped down double-digit boards in all seven games he's started, averaging 14.0 points, 17.4 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals during that stretch, and while Vucevic should eventually regain his spot in the starting five, expect coach Billy Donovan to try and find a way for the two big men to co-exist.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Eight offensive rebounds in loss Drummond registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 FT), 16 rebounds, one block and two steals over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 116-100 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Drummond's eight offensive boards were the most in the game, though he was outrebounded 20-16 by his New York counterpart Isaiah Hartenstein. Drummond has started at center over the last five games with Nikola Vucevic sidelined with a groin injury. In that span, Drummond is averaging 14.0 points, a league-leading 19.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks over 29.6 minutes per game.

Owns the glass in double-double Drummed finished with 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FG), 17 rebounds, one block and one steal over 28 minutes in Tuesday's 110-97 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Drummond led all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds while finishing as four Bulls with a double-digit point total and ending as the lone player with a double-double. Drummond has been strong on the glass for Chicago as of late, hauling in 16 or more rebounds in four straight contests while tallying a double-double in three of those four games.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-double Drummond posted 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-10 FT), 23 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 105-92 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Drummond has started the last three games with Nikola Vucevic (groin) sidelined, and the veteran big man seems to have found new life, both in terms of fantasy and real life, due to his two-way contributions. Drummond has two double-doubles in those starts and is averaging 15.3 points with a staggering 21.3 rebounds per contest.

Shines in Vooch's absence Drummond tallied 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 25 rebounds, three steals, two blocks and one assist across 39 minutes in Tuesday's 118-113 win over the Hawks.

Impact Making his first start of the season in place of the injured Nikola Vucevic (groin), Drummond proceeded to deliver perhaps the best fantasy line from any player during the NBA's nine-game Tuesday slate. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, Vucevic is expected to miss at least the next 7-to-10 days with his injury, likely setting Drummond up for a multi-game run as the Bulls' starting center. Given the lack of frontcourt depth behind him on the Chicago roster, Drummond could continue to have a clear path to 30-plus-minutes, and while fantasy managers shouldn't expect performances on par with Tuesday's outing regularly, he should remain an elite source of rebounds and a strong contributor in the points, field-goal percentage, blocks and steals categories for however long he sticks as a starter. Drummond looks like an excellent short-term pickup in both 12-team category and points leagues until Vucevic is back in action.

Moves into starting lineup Drummond will draw the start against the Hawks on Tuesday.

Impact Nikola Vucevic is sitting out with a groin injury, and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. Drummond will be a popular pickup in fantasy formats in the meantime, as he's a capable rebounder and offers upside in the defensive categories.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Thrives off bench in limited role Drummond ended Thursday's 114-95 win over San Antonio with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and five steals across 19 minutes.

Impact Drummond's path to a more significant role is blocked by Nikola Vucevic. Still, there's no question the big man made his presence felt Thursday, putting up solid numbers on both ends of the court and filling out the stat sheet as he often did when he was a regular starter with the Pistons only a few seasons ago. The lack of steady minutes conspires against Drummond's upside, but he can be worth a flyer as a streaming alternative in some formats, though it'll always depend on the matchup. Up next for him, there's a matchup Saturday at home against a depleted Cavaliers team.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down eight rebounds Drummond amassed five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 14 minutes during Monday's 108-104 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Drummond's rebounding prowess has been on full display in December, as he's grabbed at least eight boards in five of his last eight games. He's accomplished that in limited workloads too, posting averages of 6.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 0.5 blocks and 0.8 steals in 13.4 minutes in that stretch.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs season-high 16 rebounds Drummond closed Monday's 133-129 overtime loss to the Bucks with nine points (3-12 FG, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes.

Impact Drummond was a beast on the boards, hauling in a season-high 16 rebounds in just 14 minutes. Despite playing no more than 15 minutes in four of the past five games, he is averaging an incredible 11.0 rebounds during that time. He doesn't do enough to be considered a must-roster player but if you simply need an injection of rebounds, look no further than Drummond.
