Big man Nikola Vucevic playing like All-Star once again for the Bulls It's still early in the season, but Billy Donovan's new-look offense seems to be just what Vucevic needed to unlock the All-Star caliber pla...
Catches fire from three Vucevic produced 29 points (11-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 35 minutes during Monday's 122-112 win over the Pistons.
Impact Vucevic bounced back after a sluggish nine-point showing Sunday against the Rockets, though it's worth mentioning he was pulled early in a blowout. He drilled a season-best six triples in Monday's victory and paced his club in scoring and rebounding. The big man has now put up 20-plus points in three of his last five appearances.

Struggles in blowout loss Vucevic had nine points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets.
Impact The Bulls were run out of the building in this contest, limiting the minutes of all the key players. Vucevic has been outstanding this season with second-round value in nine-category formats, so fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outlier performance.

Efficient 25 points Friday Vucevic finished with 25 points (11-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 144-126 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Vucevic finished Friday's game as the Bulls' second leading scorer behind Coby White (29), and the former was two rebounds shy from registering his 10th double-double of the regular season. Through the first 13 games of the 2024-25 campaign, Vucevic is averaging 21.0 points on 59.9 percent shooting (including 45.3 percent from three on 4.1 3PA/G), 10.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists over 32.5 minutes per game.

Productive stretch continues Vucevic had 20 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Vucevic fell just short of what would've been his fifth double-double across six November appearances. However, the veteran big man continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court for a rebuilding Chicago team. He's averaging 21.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game since the calendar flipped to November.

Strong double-double Saturday Vucevic closed Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Hawks with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes.
Impact Vucevic came up short from reaching the 20-point mark for the seventh time in the current campaign, but the big man accomplished more than just scoring. This was his eighth double-double in 10 appearances, and the veteran has been one of the best two-way big men in the early stages of the 2024-25 season.

Scores 25 efficient points Vucevic racked up 25 points (11-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Vucevic embraced a bigger role on offense with Zach LaVine (thigh) sidelined, and the big man responded with an excellent performance. This was Vucevic's third game with 20-plus points across his last four outings, and the sixth time he's achieved that feat in his nine contests. Vucevic also has seven double-doubles in that span, and despite his age, he's been one of the most consistent big men in the league over the first two weeks of the regular season.

Impact Vucevic has three straight double-doubles and six on the season, including four with at least 20 points. He also notched season-high marks in assists (six) and blocks (three) during Monday's loss. Vucevic has averaged 2.3 made three-pointers per game through seven appearances, which would be his highest mark since 2020-21.

Dominant outing in loss Vucevic closed with 28 points (10-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss to the Nets.
Impact Despite coming up short against Brooklyn, Vucevic recorded his second of back-to-back double-doubles Saturday. The 34-year-old big man missed just one shot en route to a season-high 28 points. Vuceiv has now recorded five double-doubles in six appearances and has yet to score below 18 points in 2024-25.

Another double-double Wednesday Vucevic supplied 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 102-99 victory over the Magic.
Impact It's the fourth double-double in five games to begin the season for Vucevic. The veteran center hasn't let trade rumors distract him, and his averages of 20.2 points, 11.0 boards, 3.4 assists and 2.2 threes per game only improve his market value should the Bulls elect to move him.

Another double-double Vucevic delivered 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and a block across 33 minutes in Saturday's 114-95 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Vucevic has been the Bulls' most consistent player in the first week of the 2024-25 regular season, recording a double-double in each of his three outings while shooting an impressive 7-for-13 from three-point range. There's going to be some regression in the efficiency department as the season progresses, but there's no question Vucevic is starting this season on a strong note.
