One rebound shy of double-double Zubac ended Sunday's 110-102 loss to Utah with 12 points (6-12 FG), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes.

Impact The Clippers are currently playing with a very tight rotation, so Zubac is manning the center spot with very little competition. Aside from occasional situations when a small-ball approach is the sensible strategy, Zubac will be in line for 25-to-30 minutes regularly. The boosted workload has the big man off to the best statistical start of his career.

Impact Zubac was extremely efficient, as he only missed two shots in the entire contest and posted solid numbers across the board en route to his fifth double-double of the season. Zubac has established himself as a bonafide two-way threat while doing a good job as a starter. While he's still lacking consistency on a game-to-game basis, the numbers have been quite good overall. He's averaging 10.7 points, 11.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game across his last six contests.

Double-doubles, swats four shots Zubac had 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 95-93 victory over Houston.

Impact Zubac has been thriving as the Clippers' starting center and is starting to become a nightly double-double threat every time he steps on the court. The big man has struggled a bit when it comes to consistency on a game-to-game basis, but he has four double-doubles in seven outings while scoring in double digits in all but two outings to date.

Posts double-double in loss Zubac notched 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two assists and seven blocks over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 108-94 loss to the Thunder.

Impact The Clippers didn't have a good performance Tuesday, but Zubac took advantage of the absence of Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (illness) to enjoy a bigger role on offense, as the nine field-goal attempts represented a season-high mark for him. He's likely not going to be the alpha dog for the Clippers any time soon, but the fact that he has three double-digit scoring games and two double-doubles through four contests is certainly encouraging.

That being said, Zubac hovering around 20 minutes will happen periodically throughout the season on a deep and versatile Clippers squad.
