Big game as Bulls roll Vucevic notched 24 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-116 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact On an afternoon when DeMar DeRozan (23 points) and Zach LaVine (20 points) also scored in double figures, Vucevic led the way for Chicago in the blowout victory. Vucevic has only scored 20-plus points twice in his last six games, but he's been a monster on the glass and continues to be a solid source of assists for a big man.

Nears triple-double in win Vucevic registered 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 15 rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 111-105 victory over Toronto.
Impact Vucevic was phenomenal in the victory, falling just two assists short of a triple-double. While the lack of defensive contributions cannot go unnoticed, his efficiency from the floor bucks the trend he has set for himself this season. With Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso both on the shelf for an extended period of time, it is highly possible Vucevic takes on more of a facilitation role moving forward. This could have a two-pronged effect on both his field goal percentage and his assist numbers.

Available Wednesday Vucevic (knee) will play Wednesday against the Raptors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

DeMar DeRozan leads Chicago into a matchup with Toronto averaging 26.3 points per gameJANUARY 26, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Probable vs. Raptors Vucevic is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors due to a left patella contusion.
Impact Vucevic hasn't missed a game since late November, and that probably won't change Wednesday. He's double-doubled in four straight contests, with averages of 20.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 35.3 minutes.

Dominant performance Monday Vucevic logged 26 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 111-110 win over Oklahoma City.
Impact Vucevic, despite coming into the game under an injury cloud, turned in a fantastic multi-cat performance in the narrow victory. While it has been a somewhat underwhelming campaign thus far, the Bulls are going to need Vucevic to turn back the clock on a regular basis should they hope to maintain their current trajectory. His main issue this season has been his lack of efficiency from the field. If he can return to his career numbers, his overall value should subsequently increase.

Cleared to play Vucevic (knee) is starting Monday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Vucevic was previously considered questionable due to a bruised left knee, but the team has cleared him ahead of Monday's matchup. He's averaging 17.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks through 12 games in January.

Dealing with bruised knee Vucevic is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to a bruised left knee, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact The big man took a hit to the knee during Sunday's blowout loss to the Magic, but he was able to play through the issue to finish with 13 points, 13 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes. It's possible the Bulls could hold him out on the second half of the back-to-back, in which case Tony Bradley and Tyler Cook would be in line for increased minutes.

Double-doubles in loss Vucevic had 13 points (4-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 114-95 loss to the Magic.
Impact Vucevic was forced to leave the game briefly, but his injury was minor enough to allow his return to action. The Bulls can't afford to lose any more staters at the moment after going 1-6 over their last seven games.

Impressive against Cavaliers Vucevic accumulated 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-104 win over the Cavaliers.
Impact Vucevic continues to produce, and the fact that both Zach LaVine (knee) and Lonzo Ball (knee) are out automatically translates into a bigger role for the former Magic big man. The veteran only has two double-doubles over his last six games, but he's averaging 18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals per game in that span.

Impact Vucevic is one of the players that is expected to be benefited from Zach LaVine's absence due to a knee injury, though the big man has been experiencing a revival of late following a slow start to the campaign. Vucevic has scored 19 or more points in three of his last four contests and is averaging 18.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per matchup across eight January games.
