Nikola Vucevic accumulated 16 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in 38 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Heat.
Vucevic’s 2024-25 season ended on Wednesday, with the Bulls center recording his 46th double-double. One of the most surprising players in fantasy basketball, Vooch was a top-20 player in nine-cat formats while sitting just outside the top-30 in eight-cat. Vucevic has been a relatively safe option for most of his time in Chicago, hovering around the top-50. As good as this season was for him fantasy-wise, managers should not go into drafts expecting Vucevic to offer value in 2025-26 on par with this season.
Nikola Vucevic stuffed the stat sheet on Friday with 15 points (7-of-15 FGs), 12 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Wizards.
For the second-straight game, Vucevic fell exactly two assists shy of recording a triple-double. Chicago has now won their last five games with Vucevic available, and he has recorded a double-double in each of them. His recent production is more in line with the numbers he was putting up early in the season, which is a good sign for the Bulls as they enter the postseason. They are locked in as the ninth seed in the East and will host Miami in the first game of the Play-In Tournament. Vucevic will likely sit against the 76ers on Sunday in the season finale.
Nikola Vucevic had 20 points (9-of-15 FGs), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Heat on Wednesday.
Nikola Vucevic (calf) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.
Vucevic missed Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers along with the rest of the Bulls’ starting five. Zach Collins will head back to the bench with the 34-year-old returning. The Bulls should at least be more competitive Wednesday against the Heat with most of their regular players back.
