Nikola Vucevic News, Rumors, Updates - Chicago Bulls

Records double-double in loss Vucevic closed with 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes during Friday's 123-119 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Impact Vucevic didn't shoot the ball particularly well, but he did pull down 13 boards to record his 11th double-double in 19 games this season. The Chicago big man has yet to miss a game on the campaign, and he currently leads the league in total rebounds with 218. Other than that, he's been a very average center for fantasy purposes.

Snaps double-double streak Vucevic posted 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 115-111 loss against the Pelicans.

Impact Vucevic had a decent performance, but he ended three boards away from posting what would've been his fifth consecutive double-double. The big man has looked good as Chicago's third-best offensive player behind DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, and even though he's not going to put up the same level of production from his Magic days, he's still a serviceable big man who can contribute at a high level on both ends of the court.

Fourth straight double-double Vucevic chipped in 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Monday's 111-97 win over the Raptors.

Impact Vuc provided another double-double for fantasy managers, as well as a pair of blocks on the defensive end. It was the first time in 10 games he recorded multiple blocks. Don't count on that to continue, but his consistent rebound rate and solid scoring will always be there. One concern might be turnovers, though, as the veteran center is averaging a career-high 2.4 per game this season.

Solid performance in loss Vucevic finished with 24 points (10-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 123-119 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Vucevic has been a rebounding machine lately, recording his third double-double over the last four games and even hitting four shots from beyond the arc. Recently though, he's also been lacking certain statistics that fantasy managers typically rely upon from their centers, finishing this game with zero blocks and zero free-throw attempts. The veteran center has never been known to get a ton of blocks, but he's now only managed two over the past seven games.

Posts 14 points, 13 rebounds in win Vucevic finished Wednesday's 106-88 win over the Hornets with 14 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes.

Impact After going 4-of-10 from the field for 12 points in the first half, Vucevic would only add another two points in the second half on 1-of-6 shooting. He did, however, make up for it on the defensive end to the tune of seven second-half rebounds as the Bulls pulled away down the stretch. Vucevic now recorded 10 or more rebounds in each of his last three contests and in seven of nine games this season, while his 13 on Wednesday tied Mason Plumlee for a game-high.

Big night on glass Vucevic notched seven points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 108-99 victory over the Nets.

Impact It's the fourth time in eight games Vucevic has ripped down at least 15 boards, but he's now failed to score in double digits twice in the last three contests. The veteran center is averaging what would be a career-high 12.3 rebounds per game, but he continues to take a back seat to DeMar DeRozan and, when he's in the lineup, Zach LaVine (knee) on the offensive end.

Excellent against 76ers Vucevic amassed 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Vucevic struggled massively to adjust to the Bulls since joining the Magic via trade at the deadline of the 2020-21 season, and while he's had some strong outings in the current campaign, he remains wildly inconsistent on a game-to-game basis. Vucevic has three double-doubles on the season, but he also has just two games in which he's surpassed the 20-point mark. Still, he's firmly entrenched as Chicago's third-best option on offense and should remain valuable in all formats even if he's not likely to put up the dominant numbers he had when playing for Orlando.

Turns back clock in win Vucevic provided 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 23 rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 120-102 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Vucevic has scored at least 15 points in each of his four games. While he needed 19 shots just to score 18 points Monday, his excellent rebounding and passing numbers had the feel of a throwback performance to his days in Orlando. Vucevic is expected to remain as the Bulls' third-best scoring option behind DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. The center is averaging 18.3 points and 13.0 rebounds per contest.

Third straight 15-plus point effort Vucevic logged 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 128-96 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Vucevic tallied another 15-plus-point outing in Saturday's loss, his third straight to start the new year. In three games, Vucevic is averaging 18.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks.
