CHI • Center • #9

For the first time this season, Vučević has recorded double-doubles in three consecutive games. The Bulls spread the wealth offensively on Saturday, with seven players scoring in double figures. Vooch supplemented his double-double with a few assists and three “stocks,” the most in a game for him since December 21. Shooting 55.4 percent from the field, Vučević has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Over his last two games, Vučević has grabbed a total of 31 rebounds. While Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart outplayed him, the veteran center’s double-double will please those who have him rostered. Vučević’s fantasy ceiling may be limited, but he still offers a high floor. The lingering question is whether he’ll be on the move before the February trade deadline.

Vučević took full advantage of Charlotte’s lack of interior defense with Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Moussa Diabate (wrist) missing to knock down 11-of-15 shots from the floor, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. The 35-year-old veteran center’s scoring and rebounding numbers have been down this season but he’s still averaging 16.5 points and 8.9 rebounds through 34 games. The Bulls are in line for four games next week with matchups against the Celtics, Pistons, Heat and Mavericks.

Vučević’s 17 points, 10 rebounds and five assists helped fuel a comfortable win over the Magic on Friday. The 35-year-old center was one of five Bulls with at least 15 points vs. Orlando. Vučević’s 10 rebounds were nice to see because he’s averaging 8.9 rebounds per game this year after averaging 10.1 last year. He’s provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bulls finish out the week against the Hornets on Saturday.

There weren’t a ton of positive takeaways here for the Bulls as they fell behind by 41 points in the second half and ended up losing by nearly that many. Vučević, who knocked down 10-of-17 from the floor, including 3-of-5 from long range, has been inconsistent from a scoring standpoint and his rebounding numbers are down considerably relative to previous years. Chicago will attempt to snap a two-game losing streak on Wednesday when they face the Pelicans at home.

Vučević had a rough stretch to close November and start December, but during this four-game winning streak, he has been fantastic. He has averaged 19.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.0 block and 1.5 triples while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor over Chicago’s last four games. It is unlikely that he stays this hot, but his recent success has been impressive and will help the Bulls claw their way back up the standings in the East.

Vučević came up big for the Bulls during the fourth quarter, shooting 5-of-8 from the field and scoring 11 of his 24 points. He finished with his 11th double-double of the season and first in just over two weeks, with the 15 rebounds being the most in a game for Vučević since October 27 (17 vs. Atlanta). A sixth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, the Bulls’ center has pushed his season-long value closer to his Yahoo! ADP (52). The Bulls end Week 9 with a game against the Hawks on Sunday.

Well, give Vooch credit for his “finishing kick.” The veteran center shot 6-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter, which enabled him to record his first 20-point game since December 1. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points per game, with the decreased scoring weighing down Vučević’s fantasy value. That said, his season-long value remains within the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Fantasy managers should not be too concerned, especially in the aftermath of his performance against the Cavaliers.

Vučević has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, playing through a lingering knee issue. Over the past two weeks, the Bulls center has provided top-40 per-game value in nine-cat formats, exceeding his season-long value by a few spots. The good news for Vučević and fantasy managers is that, while the Bulls have three more games in Week 7, they won’t have a back-to-back. That should help the veteran center navigate his sore knee.

Vučević was initially listed as probable, but he’ll be good to go on the second night of this back-to-back. He had a double-double on Friday and should have another strong night against Indiana.

Vučević missed Monday’s game against the Pelicans with a knee injury, his first missed game of the season. The 35-year-old center was available Friday and is likely to suit up again Saturday against the Pacers. Vučević remains a steady fantasy producer late into his career.

After a one-game absence with a knee injury, Vučević was back for this game. His return gave Chicago a stronger presence in the post, but it wasn’t enough for them to get a win. Vučević was still able to record a double-double, which was his eighth of the season. He’ll continue to fill the majority of the minutes in the post for Chicago, where he’ll remain a steady producer.

Huerter and Vučević are back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Pelicans. Of the two, the latter’s return is more important, given his superior fantasy value and the way the Bulls were dominated on the boards in New Orleans. Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams will come off the bench, with the former still having value to fantasy managers.

Vučević will be back after a one-game absence. Bulls coach Billy Donovan mentioned that a “good number” of the originally questionable players will be on a minutes restriction, but that likely won’t limited Vučević’s role by much. Patrick Williams, who is still questionable with a wrist injury, will be bumped out of the starting lineup regardless of his status.

Vučević did not play in Friday’s loss to the Pelicans, and the Bulls missed him dearly, as the team’s lack of available size factored into New Orleans grabbing 19 offensive rebounds. If Vooch can play on Friday, Patrick Williams will head to the bench. Regardless of his place within the Bulls’ rotation, Williams should not be rostered in most redraft leagues.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Vučević will be sidelined for the first time this season. Jalen Smith should move into the starting lineup, and he’ll be worth the streaming risk due to Chicago’s lack of healthy post players.

Vučević is having another strong start to the year in his age-35 season. The center even called out his teammates for their lack of effort and being soft in his on-court postgame interview after beating the Wizards on Saturday. Vučević’s status is up in the air for Monday, but he might have a better chance of suiting up after his recent tough talk.

Vučević knocked down six of eight shots from the floor during the second half as Chicago managed to come from behind to knock off the lowly Wizards in this one. The 35-year-old center has come on strong over the past week, delivering fourth-round value during a five-game span, averaging 18 points, nine rebounds and three assists.

Having blown a 21-point second-half lead, the Bulls needed some heroics to end their road trip with a winning record. Enter Vučević, whose three-pointer from the left wing as time expired gave Chicago the one-point victory. While he struggled on defense against Portland’s Donovan Clingan, the Bulls center had a good shooting night and recorded a complete stat line. Unlike last season, when Vučević flirted with providing first-round value for most of the season, his production has aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (52) so far.

Since recording his fifth double-double of the season on November 4, Vučević had a four-game stretch in which he averaged 10.5 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 37.5 percent from the field. Sunday’s performance went a long way toward getting the veteran center on track, as he recorded an efficient double-double with solid production in blocks and three-pointers. Vučević goes into a four-game Week 5 ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP of 52.

Vučević was only 1-of-5 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, but the lone make was huge. His corner three with 3.4 seconds remaining capped a 24-point rally for the Bulls, who are now 6-1 on the season. Vooch has recorded five double-doubles in seven games, showing he may have more staying power than some fantasy managers believed before the season began. Vučević and backup Jalen Smith (14 points, four rebounds and three three-pointers) combined to outplay their 76ers counterparts, a significant factor in Chicago’s ability to rebound from a slow start.

Vučević recorded his third double-double in four games and fourth of the season on Sunday while shooting 60 percent from the field. As was the case last season, he continues to surprise fantasy managers who may consider the veteran center’s ceiling to be just inside the top-50. Vučević is providing top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats and has shown no signs of slowing down. While Coby White’s eventual return will put another capable scorer in the rotation, Vooch’s fantasy value should be fine.

Josh Giddey wasn’t the only Bull the Knicks struggled to corral on Friday, as Chicago scored a season-high 132 points and shot 53.6 percent from the field. Vučević was one of three Bulls to score at least 22 points in the nine-point victory, which Chicago led by 22 at the half. The 26 points are the most he’s scored in a game since the season opener, when Vooch dropped 28 on Detroit. As surprising as Vučević was in fantasy basketball last season, he’ll go into Chicago’s final game of Week 2 (Sunday at New York) providing top-20 value in nine-cat formats.

Vucevic fell one assist shy of recording a triple-double, which would’ve made this an even more impressive performance. He had a total of three assists through the first two games and tripled that total in this game alone. He also set a new season-high for rebounds. The Bulls moved to 3-0 with the win, and Vucevic will look to help them move to 4-0 on Wednesday with his former teammate Zach LaVine coming to town.

Vučević turns 35 later this week, but you wouldn’t know it by watching Wednesday’s game against the Pistons. The big man had at least 20 points in three of four matchups with the Pistons last year, which included a 29-point effort last November. Vučević had another big night against the Pistons and looks poised for another big season despite his age.

Needing a win to guarantee passage into the Round of 16, Montenegro dropped an 89-83 decision to Great Britain, which had not won a EuroBasket game since 2013. For his part, Vučević recorded an impressive stat line, posting another double-double and dishing out seven assists. Following the defeat, the Bulls center announced his retirement from international basketball. If there’s a silver lining for Vučević, he’ll have added time off to recover for the start of training camp in late September.

With Vučević averaging a double-double in each of his last seven seasons, the veteran center’s consistent recording of those stat lines at EuroBasket is unsurprising. He recorded his fourth in as many games on Monday, leading Montenegro to its first win of this year’s tournament. Also of note was the defensive production, with Vučević recording two steals and three blocked shots in the 87-81 victory. His name was mentioned in offseason trade rumors, but Vučević has stayed put thus far. This winter, he should be a relatively safe middle-round option in standard fantasy leagues.

For the second straight game, Montenegro was blown out, but it wasn’t for lack of trying by the star big man. It was business as usual for Vooch, as he produced a double-double while spacing the floor, playing solid defense and getting teammates involved. Montenegro might not win many games, but Vooch should continue to shine throughout Eurobasket as his team’s most talented option.

Vucevic will continue to be the star for Montenegro, but he doesn’t have much help, which is why the team was on the wrong end of a lopsided score. Aside from the uncharacteristic poor performance at the free throw line, this was a monster performance from Vucevic. Expect more games like this from him for the rest of Eurobasket.
