Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic has been rumored to be on the move, especially if a deal would include Rudy Gobert or Deandre Ayton. Yet, with the veteran widely respected by many throughout the organization, there's a strong chance he could remain in the Windy City. The 31-year-old averaged 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals last season. However, while Vucevic has historically been proficient on the offensive end and the glass over the years, he has yet to play an entire year since entering the league in 2011.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic put forth an impressive final stat line during Sunday's loss to the Bucks, logging 24 points and 17 rebounds in his first playoff game with his new franchise. But it's hard to not think of what could have been, considering Vucevic shot 9-for-27 overall, including 2-for-10 from behind the arc. The 31-year-old has compiled a double-double in five of his last six playoff appearances, and after leading the team in shot attempts, he will remain an integral part of their offensive attack over the games to come. But after being held to 3-for-19 from the field by Milwaukee on April 5, a troubling trend could be emerging for the two-time All-Star who next takes the floor Wednesday for Game 2.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (rest) and point/shooting guard Alex Caruso (back) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Vucevic and Caruso join leading scorers DeMar DeRozan (rest) and Zach LaVine (rest) on the sidelines, paving the way for Chicago's second unit to take on significantly increased offensive roles against the league's top team in terms of pace. Vucevic's scoring average dipped to just 17.6 PPG this year, but he averaged a double-double for the fourth consecutive campaign. Caruso was limited to just 41 games (18 starts) due to myriad injuries, and his status for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs remains unclear. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu would see elevated roles if Caruso is sidelined beyond Sunday.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) and guard Ayo Dosunmu (groin) are listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both players are expected to suit up despite dealing with minor injuries. Although, Tristan Thompson would be asked to start, assuming Vucevic is out. Thompson isn't a great fantasy option, but is a decent rebounding option. Javonte Green would see a boost in value if Dosunmu is unable to play. Green could have low-end streaming appeal with increased playing time.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Billy Donovan said that Vucevic felt better at shootaround, so he'll give it a go. Tristan Thompson will head back to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal. Fantasy managers should expect Vucevic to see his normal workload for this plus matchup.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man sat out Monday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. It sounds like he could be in danger of missing another contest. Tristan Thompson would have fairly decent streaming appeal as the starting center. Tony Bradley played a few extra minutes off the bench, but Thompson is the player to have, assuming Vucevic misses another game.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right hamstring strain. The team will be lining up with Tristan Thompson as their starting center. He'll be going up against MVP candidate Joel Embiid. While it's an unenviable position for Thompson to be in, he should be in line to come down with a good amount of rebounds and maybe some blocks as well. The Bulls are extremely shorthanded at center. We may see Tony Bradley come off the bench as Thompson's backup. Bradley has been a DNP as a coach's decision since late February, but the team has few other options to throw at Embiid. Vucevic's next chance to play will be on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Vucevic is dealing with a right hamstring strain. Donovan stated on Monday that the injury isn't a long-term issue. The team plans to see how Vucevic handles pre-game workouts prior to making a decision on his status for Monday's game. If Vucevic were forced to sit on Monday, we may end up seeing Tristan Thompson log some heavy minutes at center, making him a potential streaming option for the sheer rebound volume.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) is questionable to suit up for Monday's meeting versus the 76ers. The big man is currently dealing with a right hamstring strain, and while he didn't practice on Sunday, he will likely do all he can to get out there, especially since someone is needed to help slow down Joel Embiid. Nevertheless, if Vucevic can't play, Tony Bradley will likely take his spot, although his fantasy outlook isn't bright by any means.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) is good to go for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The 31-year-old had previously been listed as probable with a left ankle sprain, so it's no surprise that the veteran will be good to give it a go. Vuc has been fantastic all year and he's especially excelled lately. Over the month of February, he's averaging 22.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 threes per game while shooting 52.8% from the field and 80.6% from the line. Make sure the star center is in your lineup on Monday.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was listed as probable coming in, so it seems Vucevic is fine to play despite a minor knee issue. Vucevic has been asked to do more on the offensive side with many of the key playmakers sidelined. He's expected to continue putting up big numbers on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should make sure that Vucevic is in their lineups for Wednesday's slate.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic put together a very strong all-around performance in Sunday's win over Indiana, recording 16 points and 15 rebounds with three assists, two steals and two blocks. He missed just three times from the field with 10 attempts and went 2-for-3 from three-point land. This was an ugly matchup for Vuc, as Indiana has Myles Turner patrolling the paint, but the Montenegrin center had no trouble taking care of business. He'll be seeing a lot of Clint Capela this week, with Chicago facing Atlanta in back-to-back games, and that's another uncomfortable matchup for Vucevic. The Hawks have limited opposing centers to 49.5 percent shooting this season.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic posted 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds while shooting 34.8% from the field during a 115-92 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The 31-year-old also went 1-for-7 from behind the arc and 1-for-2 from the line. The USC product collected two blocks across 31 minutes Vuc has had a rough start to the season, averaging 15.2 points per game while shooting below 42% from the field, including below 36.1 from behind the arc, and an uncharacteristically poor 63.3% from the line. With guard Zach LaVine and forward DeMar DeRozan running the show in the Windy City, the big man's stats were sure to take a hit. Vucevic's season hasn't been a complete dud, pitching in with 10.6 boards, 2.0 stocks, and 1.7 triples per game. The Montenegrin big man should start to see some positive regression at the percentages with quality looks, making him an intriguing buy-low option.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic remained hot against the Knicks on Thursday, contributing 27 points on 10-for-18 shooting in a 119-115 win. Half of his makes came from downtown and Vuc has now shot an incredible 11-for-15 from deep across his last two games. He pulled down seven rebounds and tallied three assists with one block and two turnovers. Vucevic had a very rough start to the season, but it looks like he's finally found his game, proving that he can actually co-exist with Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. The big guy has a fascinating battle with Nikola Jokic early next week, but he has to face the Nets first. Brooklyn has put up very good defensive numbers against opposing bigs, so Vucevic might find himself in trouble on Saturday.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic produced a big bounce-back performance on Monday against Charlotte, sinking all six shots from deep en route to a season-high 30 points in a 133-119 win. He shot 12-for-19 overall from the field and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds while delivering five assists and swatting away two shots. Vuc entered the game after a miserable seven-point outing against Miami. Vucevic's scoring numbers have been down this season and this was by far his biggest offensive output of the year. He'll look to replicate his Monday's performance on Thursday against a Knicks team that is allowing centers to shoot 56 percent against them.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic will play on Wednesday in Houston. The 31-year-old big man missed his previous seven games while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19, which allowed Tony Bradley to benefit to some degree. Nonetheless, there is a chance Vucevic won't see his usual allotment of minutes, so those participating in DFS contests may want to consider an alternative. However, he should be viewed as a viable option in season-long setups against a Rockets team that has struggled keeping opponents in check underneath the rim.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic is no longer in COVID-19 isolation and will attend Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. To be clear, Vucevic is not suiting up as he needs to build back up his conditioning before returning to game action. It's uncertain how long he'll remain sidelined, but at least this is positive news. Tony Bradley should continue being the starting center going forward until Vucevic returns. It sounds like Bradley could still start for another week or so.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic is entering the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. That means that Vucevic is expected to miss several games, which is a tough blow to the red-hot Bulls. It's assumed that Tony Bradley will take over as the starting center, and he should have some solid streaming appeal in the short term. However, players such as Javonte Green, Alize Johnson and Derrick Jones Jr. should see more run as well. Bradley is someone worth snagging in the short term while Vucevic is sidelined.

This season, the struggle has been real for Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, but he showed signs of life in a 117-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks. On Wednesday, the 31-year old played his lowest minutes since the second game of the season (32) but provided 18 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a three-pointer for his fantasy managers. For the big Swiss man, it was only the second time he reached 18 points in what has been a slow start for the revamped Bulls. With Lonzo Ball, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine to contend with, Vucevic shots have dipped from 20.6 in Orlando last season to 14.3 in the Windy City. It was his fifth double-double in six games, so not all is lost for Vucevic managers, but it seems like he won't match his draft day value without an injury or two occurring in Chicago.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic filled up the box score in Monday's 118-95 win over the Nets. Vucevic struggled with his shot and only scored 11 points but managed to affect the game in a variety of ways- as he chipped in 13 rebounds, five assists, three blocks, a triple and a steal in 33 minutes. The veteran center has sacrificed a ton of scoring equity, but has remained fantasy=relevant thanks to his work as a rebounder and playmaker. Vucevic won't approach his numbers from Orlando, but he should be more efficient as the season goes along, opening up a buy-low window.
