• Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Big line in loss

  22D ago •

  Vucevic closed Wednesday's 116-100 loss to the Bucks with 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 16 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 37 minutes. Logging four double-doubles in the series, Vucevic was Chicago's most consistent contributor. That being said, his shot selection was poor at times and he was cold from beyond the arc. For the season Vucevic shot just 31.4 percent from deep -- his lowest three-point percentage since 2017. While he graded as a positive defender, his overall fit with Chicago was questionable at times. His future with the Bulls isn't fully clear.

• Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Solid outing in loss

  27D ago •

  Vucevic racked up 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 111-81 loss to the Bucks. Vucevic has been one of the best players for Chicago in the series, as he has scored at least 19 points in each game while also recording two double-doubles. His contributions will be even more valuable considering how much Zach LaVine has been struggling on offense.

• Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Posts double-double in Game 2 win

  29D ago •

  Vucevic finished Wednesday's 114-110 victory over the Bucks with 24 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes. Vucevic made a major impact on the game as both a scorer and rebounder, finishing with his second straight double-double in the first-round series. The big man also led the Bulls with four three-pointers and shot an efficient 10-for-18 from the field overall. He has been a problem for Milwaukee thus far, averaging 24 points and 15 boards in the first two contests of the series.

• Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Puts up 24 points on 27 shots

  04/18/2022 •

  Vucevic closed with 24 points (9-27 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 93-86 loss to the Bucks. While Vucevic was a major contributor to the Bulls' 31-of-96 (32.3% FG) terrible shooting effort as a team, he rewarded fantasy managers with monster counting stats, including three steals/blocks in 39 minutes of action. Vucevic misfired on a number of wide-open looks from beyond the arc, so he certainly could have been poised for an even bigger night had the Bulls been able to get some shots to fall. Milwaukee "led" the NBA in opponents' three-point attempts per game during the regular season, so those looks will likely continue to be there throughout the series.

  Vucevic will rest for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Timberwolves. Chicago is locked into the No. 6 seed, so there's no need for Vucevic to risk injury. Notably, DeMar DeRozan (rest) and Zach LaVine (knee) are also out. Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley should see extra minutes.
