LAC • Center • #40

After attempting three shots from the field in his return to the starting lineup on Monday, Zubac was far more involved on Wednesday. The 14 attempts were the most he’s had in a game since December 11 (six games played), and Zubac finished with his first double-double with at least 20 points since November 23. With Zubac playing starters’ minutes, now is the time for the few who still have Brook Lopez rostered to move on. He played 16 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, finishing with six points (2-of-8 FGs), one block and two three-pointers.

Zubac came off the bench in his first game back following a five-game absence, but he was back in the starting lineup for this one. He did most of his scoring at the free throw line, but he was immediately able to record a double-double in his first game back with a normal workload. Zubac will get back to being a strong fantasy option now that he is healthy and available. He’ll look to have another strong performance against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Zubac came off the bench in his return from a five-game absence on Saturday and logged 20 minutes. He’ll return to the starting unit in his second game back, which will likely push Brook Lopez to the bench. Lopez will lose the streaming value he held and should be returned to the waiver wire.

Zubac failed to make a significant impact, despite logging 20 minutes in his return from a five-game absence due to a sprained ankle that he suffered back on December 20. The 28-year-old big man was unable to exploit Boston’s lack of strong interior defense, attempting just six shots in a one-sided affair. Fantasy managers should anticipate the Clippers keeping a governor on his workload for at least a couple additional contests as he works his way back to full strength.

Zubac has returned from a sprained ankle sooner than expected, as he suffered a Grade 2 sprain during a December 20 win over the Lakers. However, according to Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue, the 7-footer volunteered to come off the bench since the team has been playing well in his absence. Brook Lopez will remain in the starting lineup for at least one more night.

Sidelined since injuring his ankle during a December 20 win over the Lakers, Zubac will be available on Saturday. Brook Lopez has filled in admirably as his replacement in the lineup, providing a different look offensively with his three-point shooting. With Zubac back, Yanic Konan Niederhäuser will likely fall out of the rotation entirely.

Zubac injured his ankle during a December 20 win over the Lakers and was given a three-week timeline to return. For him to progress to on-court work is a step in the right direction, but the timeline has not changed. Brook Lopez will remain the starter in Zubac’s absence, with Yanic Konan Niederhäuser filling in as the backup.

Zubac injured his ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s win over the Lakers and did not return. Brook Lopez played 25 minutes off the bench, and he’s the most likely option to move into the starting lineup. There may be times when the Clippers go small and use Nicolas Batum, but Lopez is the superior option for fantasy managers.

Zubac rolled his left ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s game, with team trainers taking him back to the locker room immediately after. The 7-footer has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. Brook Lopez, who had fallen out of the rotation, will figure prominently in the Clippers’ lineup. And he would be worth picking up if Zubac misses additional time.

Zubac tied his season-high with 33 points against the Rockets on Wednesday. Almost as surprising as the high scoring output for Zubac was that he’s been held to seven and six rebounds in two of his last three games. The Clippers are back in action Monday against the Grizzlies.

Zubac started another double-double streak on Saturday after seeing his previous run of three straight end on Friday. Over the past two weeks, he has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. Zubac and the Clippers play once in Week 8, as they visit the Rockets on Thursday.

Zubac’s production on Friday was minimal compared to what he has shown over the past couple of seasons. The veteran center didn’t find many scoring opportunities on Friday, and was surprisingly unimpactful on the glass in his 35 minutes of game action. As a result, his streak of double-doubles ended at three games, and he failed to secure double-digit rebounds for the first time since November 22 against the Hornets. He’ll have a chance to bounce back quickly on the second night of a back-to-back against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Zubac has now had at least four assists in six of his last seven games. It’s starting to become a trend for the 28-year-old center. Zubac has also had at least 17 rebounds in three of his last eight games. He’ll get the chance for his fourth consecutive double-double against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Zubac was once again a bright spot in a loss for the Clippers. They’ve lost five straight, and he has grabbed double-digit rebounds in each game. Zubac’s production has only dropped slightly from last season, and he’ll continue to consistently produce, even if things aren’t going well in LA. Next up is Atlanta on Wednesday, and they’re one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.

After failing to hit double figures in scoring for the first time since November 4 in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, Zubac began a new streak on Saturday. The double-double was his 12th of the season, and the playing time remains high. Zubac has played at least 32 minutes in four straight and nine of his last ten games. The concern after Saturday’s game was the collision with Dallas’ Dwight Powell, which caused Zubac to hit the back of his head on the court. He stayed in the game, but with the Clippers visiting Miami on Monday, we’ll have to see whether the 7-footer’s name appears on the injury report.

Zubac’s streak of double-digit scoring efforts ended at 11 on Friday, as he struggled to get clean looks with Memphis’ Zach Edey on the floor. However, he did hit double figures in rebounds for the seventh time in his last eight games. Just as important has been the playing time, with Zubac averaging 34.0 minutes per game over the last two weeks. If that continues, his chances of making good on the preseason Yahoo! ADP (36) will improve.

After a modest showing in Saturday’s win over the Hornets, Zubac recorded one of his best stat lines of the season in Cleveland. He finished two rebounds shy of a 30/20 game while posting excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. Zubac did not record any defensive stats, but he began Sunday averaging 0.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, so that wasn’t too surprising. Averaging 31.5 minutes per game, Zubac is closing in on top-50 value in nine-cat formats after a relatively slow start to the season.

Zubac hadn’t recorded more than four assists in a game so far this season entering play Saturday, but dished out six assists in the win over the Hornets. Otherwise, the 28-year-old center had a fairly normal game contributing 18 points, nine rebounds and one block. The Clippers close out Week 5 Sunday against the Cavaliers.

Zubac only contributed in the points and rebounds categories, but fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the production. He’s up to nine double-doubles on the season, with Thursday’s 19 boards being a season-high. Due to the Clippers’ many injuries, Zubac and James Harden have been the team’s only reliable options for fantasy managers. The Clippers end Week 5 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back against the Hornets and Cavaliers, with the latter matchup setting up to be a challenging one for Zubac due to Cleveland’s tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

Zubac’s final stat line was modest, but the 7-footer did record his eighth double-double of the season on Monday. Six have been tallied over the last seven games, and just as crucial for fantasy managers is the playing time. During this seven-game stretch, Zubac has played an average of 34 minutes, even higher than his career-best mark of 32.8 last season. Brook Lopez, who was brought in to provide legitimate value as the backup center, hasn’t answered the call. On Monday, he played 14 minutes and finished with six points, one rebound and one three-pointer. Until that changes, Zubac will continue to clear 30 minutes, if not approach 35.

Zubac has been a double-double machine this season, accomplishing the feat seven times through 13 contests. The 28-year-old center had little trouble exploiting Boston’s lack of interior size and depth by repeatedly going to work against Neemias Queta and Luka Garza. The Clippers probably should’ve gone to him more frequently in this one, but they did get 17 points in 30 minutes from fellow big man John Collins. He should continue to see an increase in opportunities on the offensive end of the floor while Kawhi Leonard remains out with knee and ankle injuries.

Zubac played 46 minutes of the Clippers’ 133-127 double overtime victory over the Mavericks on Friday. The 28-year-old center put up 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while also recording a block and a steal. Zubac is next in line for looks after James Harden with Kawhi Leonard (ankle) out, which only adds to his value.

Zubac played 32 minutes and came up one rebound shy of a double-double. He shot efficiently from the floor but failed to get to the free-throw line for the second time this season, which prevented a higher scoring total. He continues to log heavy minutes and could remain one of the Clippers’ primary scoring options, especially if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) remains on the sideline.

Zubac recorded his fifth double-double in 10 games on Monday, continuing to provide solid fantasy value at the center position. Something to watch moving forward is Big Zu’s playing time, as he’s logged at least 30 minutes on five occasions. During the preseason, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said he wanted Zubac to play fewer minutes after he averaged 32 per game in 2024-25. However, offseason signing Brook Lopez (nine points, two assists, one block and two three-pointers) has not done enough to give the Clippers the two-headed monster they desired at the center position. If Zubac can consistently hit or exceed 30 minutes, his chances of making good on his Yahoo! ADP (41) increase.

Zubac reached the 20-point plateau for the second straight contest as he was able to exploit Phoenix’s lack of impact interior talent by knocking down 10 of 12 shots in the paint. The 28-year-old center has gotten off to a bit of a slow start, averaging 14.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and one block through eight games.

With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and James Harden (personal) both sidelined, Zubac stepped up as the leading scorer for LA. He ended up being the lone bright spot in the starting unit; if the bench didn’t step up, this game would’ve been more lopsided. 23 points were a new season-high for Zubac, but he won’t get that opportunity often when this team is healthy.

Zubac was neutralized as a scorer on Monday, which is unsurprising since he was matched up with Bam Adebayo for most of the night. However, the Clippers center was elite on the glass, grabbing a season-high 18 rebounds, and the assist tally was also solid. Through six games, Zubac is ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats, three rounds behind his Yahoo! ADP of 41. The good news for fantasy managers is that he’s played 34 and 33 minutes in the last two games. If he can continue to play 30-plus minutes per night, especially with Brook Lopez’s minimal impact, Zubac’s fantasy ceiling will be raised.

Zubac recorded his second double-double in as many games on Friday, but the playing time is more notable. He played 34 minutes against the Pelicans, with backup Brook Lopez (3/3/0/1/1) logging 14 off the bench. Zubac averaged over 32 minutes per game last season, and Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said during the preseason that he believed that was too much. However, with Big Zu playing at least 34 minutes in two of his last three games and Lopez struggling, the starter’s workload may not suffer much after all.

Zubac finished Tuesday’s defeat with his first double-double of the season, hitting double digits in the rebounds category. During the preseason, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said he believed Zubac played too much last season. After averaging 32.8 minutes per game in 2024-25, out of necessity due to the Clippers’ shallow interior rotation, Big Zu has averaged 27.6 minutes over the first week. A few of the games being blowouts has been a factor, as was the addition of Brook Lopez (3/2/1 in 19 minutes). While Zubac has a safe fantasy floor, his ceiling will take a hit if he can’t consistently play 30 minutes.

Sunday was Zubac’s best game yet on the young season. His 21 points and eight rebounds represent season-highs. The 28-year-old center averaged 12.6 rebounds per game last year so it’s reasonable to expect his rebounding numbers to pick up in the near future. Zubac continues to dominate the center role for the Clippers playing 35 minutes to Brook Lopez’ 13 minutes off the bench.
