Sun Nov 27 202221:48Ivica Zubac Puts Up Monster Double-Double In Win
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac came just one rebound shy of becoming the 12th player ever to have 30 points and 30 rebounds in the same game. The 25-year-old cashed in 31 points, 29 rebounds, three assists, and three blocks against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. He was the first player to post at least 30 points and 29 rebounds in a regular season game since Dwight Howard in 2018. Plus, he's the 13th player overall to hit those marks.

Tue Oct 25 202222:57Ivica Zubac Swats Seven Shots Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac was a force to be reckoned with against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Zubac swatted away seven shots while also recording a 10-point, 14-rebound double-double in 35 minutes. The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard (knee), Paul George (illness) and Marcus Morris Sr. (personal) in this one, and Zubac took full advantage of the extra rebounding opportunities. Zubac has grabbed at least eight rebounds in every game so far and has shown his blocking ability has improved this year. Zubac should already be rostered everywhere and is looking like a steal at his ADP.

Fri Oct 21 202209:29Ivica Zubac Posts Double-Double In Win
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac shined on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. He ended the game with 14 points, 17 rebounds, one assist and five blocks on a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor. Minutes are not going to be an issue for Zubac, as the only other center on the roster didn't even see the floor in this game. His main competition is just small-ball lineups. Fantasy managers should keep relying on him as a solid option at center in all formats and a good play in DFS.

Mon Sep 26 202221:27Ivica Zubac Should Be Ready For Training Camp
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) should be ready for the beginning of training camp. The 25-year-old big man reportedly tweaked his ankle during a recent Eurobasket tournament. Despite that, Zubac should be ready early in training camp and isn't expected to miss much time at all. He averaged career highs in points (10.3), rebounds (8.5), assists (1.6) last season. The Clippers don't have many options at center, so Zubac should see plenty of playing time. The expectation is that Robert Covington will cut into his minutes, but Zubac should still have low-end fantasy value.

Tue Jun 28 202219:24Ivica Zubac Signs Three-Year Deal
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac has agreed to a three-year deal with the organization. The Clippers declined his $7.5 million player option in order to sign him to an extension. Now, Zubac will get a nice new shiny $33 million deal. He averaged career highs in points (10.3), rebounds (8.5), assists (1.6) last season. He provided 12th round fantasy value in 9-cat leagues. The hope is that the young center continues to improve his game next season. The Clippers don't have much talent down low, so Zubac should continue seeing significant playing time.

Mon May 30 202222:08Ivica Zubac Wants To Stay In L.A.
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac hopes to remain with the team moving forward. The 25-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, averaging 10.3 points, 8.5 boards, and 1.0 blocks. L.A. holds a $7.5 million team option. However, he's also eligible for an extension this offseason. Nonetheless, Zubac logged only 24 minutes per game this year, which was detrimental for fantasy managers. A change of scenery may do him some good, especially from a workload standpoint. Yet, Zubac hasn't been a consistent producer, so he'll need to work on that for fantasy managers to benefit fully from his presence on their roster.

Sun Apr 10 202210:06Ivica Zubac Notches Third Consecutive Double-Double
LA Clippers center Ivica Zubac was able to compile his third straight double-double during Saturday's win over the Kings, needing just the first half to do so. Zubac has exceeded the 25-minute threshold just once over his past 10 outings, but that's primarily due to LA's Play-in Tournament positioning. With a matchup vs. Karl-Anthony Towns and the Timberwolves on tap, Zubac will be deployed early and often, with foul trouble presenting the greatest threat to him logging a double-double next week. The 25-year-old is set to finish the 2021-22 year with career highs in scoring (10.3) and rebounding (8.4) on a nightly basis, while also shooting 62.7% overall.

Fri Apr 1 202218:43Ivica Zubac To Play Limited Minutes Friday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac is the only member of the team's regular starting unit who is not getting the night off on Friday. However, Clippers head coach Ty Lue stated that Zubac "probably won't play too many minutes tonight." The seven-footer logged 32 minutes in the team's overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Paul George, Reggie Jackson, Nicolas Batum and Marcus Morris Sr. all logged 32-plus minutes as well and each of those four players are being rested on Friday. Friday could be a golden opportunity for center Isaiah Hartenstein to come through with a sturdy double-double. He's a solid and sneaky DFS play and streaming option for the night. Robert Covington is also in position for a productive night.

Wed Mar 2 202209:51Ivica Zubac Drops Team-High 22 Points, Logs Double-Double
LA Clippers center Ivica Zubac finished with 22 points in 25 minutes during Tuesday's win over Houston, making him the team's leading scorer for just the second time this season. The big man also added 12 rebounds, giving him four double-doubles in his last five games. While Zubac's minutes have varied from as low as 18 to as high as 34 in that span, he has proven to be a perpetual double-double threat that also employs a strong shooting percentage (65.1%). His 9.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game are on pace to be a new career high, as his fantasy stock has reached its apex just ahead of the playoffs in season-long formats. With that said, his next outing comes Thursday vs. the Lakers, whom he has combined to play just 40 minutes against in two meetings this year due to matchup differences.

Sun Feb 6 202200:26Ivica Zubac Questionable Against The Defending Champs
Los Angeles Lakers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is questionable for Sunday's meeting against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's missed his previous two games with right calf soreness, so if he can't go, Serge Ibaka will likely see an increase in playing time and possibly production. Ibaka had 20 points and eight boards against the Lakers on Thursday night and should be considered for those partaking in DFS contests and seasonal formats.

Thu Feb 3 202221:28Ivica Zubac Ruled Out Against Lakers
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. They will once again be without their starting center due to right calf soreness. Serge Ibaka is expected to move into the starting five for Thursday's contest. He finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds during his last game. However, Ibaka has been inconsistent as a fantasy option this season. Also, he might not have the same level of success against Anthony Davis on Thursday. Isaiah Hartenstein might be the better fantasy option between the two, but neither have much upside for this matchup.

Wed Feb 2 202223:19Ivica Zubac Questionable For Thursday Night
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Lakers. Zubac didn't play on Monday night versus the Pacers, opening the door for Serge Ibaka to log 22 minutes and finish with a double-double along with two blocks. Nevertheless, if Zubac misses another one, Ibaka should remain on the radar in deeper formats and as a semi-value option in DFS contests.

Mon Jan 31 202218:09Ivica Zubac Won't Play Monday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This looks more like a rest game than anything else. Regardless, Zubac will miss at least one game, which will result in Serge Ibaka drawing the start at center. Ibaka hasn't brought exciting numbers to the table this season and isn't an ideal streaming option. Honestly, Isaiah Hartenstein is probably a better fantasy option over Ibaka for Monday's slate.

Thu Dec 30 202119:39Ivica Zubac Enters COVID-19 Protocols
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This is certainly frustrating news with the Clippers already losing backup center Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) and many others due to protocols. That being said, Serge Ibaka is expected to move into the starting five now. He has been productive off the bench, so that should continue with the starting unit. Ibaka will probably see heavy minutes for the shorthanded Clippers. Fantasy managers need to check the waiver wire and see if Ibaka is available. He is looking like a must-have fantasy option since the Clippers are quickly running out of centers on their roster.

Mon Dec 27 202111:41Ivica Zubac Puts Up A Double-Double And Three Blocks
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac had a good showing on Sunday against Denver, logging a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds and adding three blocks. He also recorded one steal while shooting a near-perfect 7-for-8 from the field with a 3-for-5 effort at the foul line. Zubac has now scored 10-plus points in three consecutive games and the run includes two double-doubles. Getting double-double numbers again on Monday against Brooklyn will be difficult, as the Nets give up very little to opposing centers, but Zubac has been more involved on offense lately and appears to be on his way to having a very good finish to 2021.

Fri Nov 26 202120:42Ivica Zubac Posts A Double-Double In Just 22 Minutes
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac eased his way to a 10-point, 13-rebound double-double in just 22 minutes in Friday's win over Detroit. He shot 3-for-4 from the field and was perfect with his four free throws, adding a pair of assists to his line with one steal, one block and two turnovers. Zubac has crashed the boards well in recent games, recording double-digit rebounds in three of his last four games. The big guy likely won't get much joy on Sunday against the Warriors, who boast the league's most efficient defense and whose rebounding rate is near the top of the league as well, but Zubac should have a very productive night against the Kings next week. He has another tough one scheduled for Monday against Jonas Valanciunas and the Pelicans.

Fri Nov 19 202108:39Ivica Zubac Plays An Effective Game Against Memphis
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac missed only three shots from the field with eight attempts and finished 3-for-3 at the charity stripe in Thursday's loss to Memphis, picking up 13 points with seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes. This was a great matchup for Zubac, with the Grizzlies having struggled against centers all season, and Friday's game against New Orleans promises to bring more success for the Croatian. The Pelicans are allowing the seventh-most points per 48 minutes to centers this season. However, Zubac's numbers on the glass might not be very high, as he faces a battle with Jonas Valanciunas, who has been the third-best rebounder in the league this season.

Sat Nov 6 202111:31Ivica Zubac Posts Double-Double In Win Over T-Wolves
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac helped the team secure a 104-84 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. He shot 5-for-7 from the field in the game and went on to score 14 points while racking up 14 rebounds. It was his first double-double of the year. He also added two steals and a block in the game and he committed a season-high five turnovers. Through eight games this year, Zubac is averaging 8.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting 61.4% from the field. He doesn't have much upside for DFS purposes, but he's worth roster consideration in deep season-long fantasy leagues thanks to his efficiency from the field.

Fri Oct 8 202120:58Ivica Zubac Taking The Night Off Friday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (rest) won't play during Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. His absence will give Harry Giles III and Isaiah Hartenstein a chance to earn a roster spot. Serge Ibaka (back) continues to have injury issues, so Zubac is likely going to be asked to step up. Zubac should be a fine option in 12-team leagues, while Giles and Hartenstein probably won't see enough time to warrant rostering.
