Double-doubles with full line Vucevic supplied 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 109-104 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Vucevic was solid in defeat, scoring 16 points for the third straight game. He added 13 rebounds, notching his first double-double in a week while also maintaining his recent defensive production. With the Bulls now tied with the Raptors for the fifth seed, and just one win ahead of the Cavaliers, they are going to be doing everything they can to avoid the play-in tournament. Given the importance of every game moving forward, Vucevic should continue to log heavy minutes the rest of the way.

Impact It was another solid performance from the veteran center. Since missing a game March 7 due to a minor hamstring strain, Vucevic is averaging 18.4 points, 9.6 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 steals over the last eight contests.

The talented big man finished with four made three-pointers, marking just the sixth time he's made at least four this season. Over his last seven appearances, Vucevic has averaged 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.9 minutes per game.

Third straight double-double Vucevic logged 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 loss to Utah.
Impact Vucevic had a rough night from the field, but at least he managed to record double-digit points and rebounds for the third game in a row. He continues to play at an underwhelming level compared to his Orlando days, but he still holds decent fantasy value as a two-way threat in a position with very few top-notch alternatives.

Musters double-double in loss Vucevic amassed 23 points (10-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 112-103 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Vucevic did his best against the Kings' much-improved defensive front and added to his impressive resume of double-doubles. The addition of Zach LaVine usually spells increased scoring for Vucevic, who is a frequent passing target and assist converter.

Records 38th double-double Vucevic provided 20 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 101-91 win over the Cavaliers.
Impact Vucevic's hamstring injury has only kept him out of one game so far, and he posted one of his best totals over the past month despite dealing with the problem. Although Zach LaVine (knee) missed the game, Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan combined to score 45 of Chicago's 101 points.

Playing vs. Cavs Vucevic (hamstring) will play Saturday against the Cavaliers.

Questionable vs. Cavs Vucevic (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Vucevic returned from a one-game absence due to the hamstring strain to record 21 points, six boards, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes against the Pistons on Wednesday. However, he's still dealing with some discomfort, and he may sit out Saturday. That would open up more time for Tristan Thompson.

Rock solid in return Vucevic totaled 21 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 114-108 victory over Detroit.
Impact Vucevic's six rebounds accounted for his lowest total in that category since Jan. 15, but his efficiency from the field made up for the lack of boards, especially given the hamstring issue that caused him to miss the last game. He's also managed to record two assists and two steals in each of his last two games. The 31-year-old is averaging 17.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists across 33.8 minutes per game this season.

Available Wednesday Vucevic (hamstring) is available Wednesday against the Pistons.
Impact The center returns following a one-game absence. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 15.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals, and has a good opportunity to improve on those numbers against a beat-up Pistons frontcourt.
