IVICA ZUBAC NEWS

Dominates in prolific performance Zubac registered 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 35 minutes during Thursday's 103-97 win over the Lakers.

Impact Zubac was arguably the best player on the floor in the win, notching a double-double to go with five blocks. It was certainly a dominant effort from Zubac who finds himself as basically the only true center option on the Clippers' roster. He likely won't be this good every night but given the clear path to minutes, he should remain a very reliable 12-team commodity the rest of the way.

Scores nine points in loss Zubac scored nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 FT) across 16 minutes in Wednesday night's loss to the Nuggets, adding three rebounds, two assists and a block.

Impact Zubac knocked down one of two free throws early in the first quarter for his first point of the game before throwing down an alley-oop dunk off a dish from Paul George on the Clippers' following possession. The Clippers center added two assists of his own in the second quarter, including one to set up Norman Powell for three, while also grabbing three rebounds. Zubac did not play in the second half as the Clippers continue to limit his minutes heading into the regular season.

Double-doubles in victory Zubac chipped in 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 117-98 victory over the Kings.

Impact Zubac's fantasy impact is threatened by Isaiah Hartenstein on a nightly basis, but the starter bested his teammate in Saturday's victory. Saturday marked Zubac's third consecutive double-double, which came after a string of below-average stat lines. His regression over that span was largely due to Hartenstein's excellent play, but the recent numbers indicate a pendulum swing back in Zubac's direction.
