• Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Perfect from field

  03/06/2020 •

  Zubac went for 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and one block in 20 minutes during Thursday's 120-105 win at Houston. Zubac is not known for his offensive contributions, to the point that he's topped the 15-point plateau just twice this season. In fact, the 17 points were a season-high mark for the big man, who continues to produce in other areas such as rebounds and field goal percentages with enough consistency to remain fantasy relevant.

• Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Season-high 15 boards in loss

  02/24/2020 •

  Zubac posted eight points (3-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and a block across 20 minutes during Saturday's 112-103 loss to the Kings. Considering that the Clippers shot just 39.1 percent from the field, there were plenty of misses for Zubac to clean up, as seven of his season-high 15 boards came on the offensive end. Saturday's effort also marked the seventh time this season Zubac has compiled double-digit boards in 20 or fewer minutes -- a tally that leads the league. In February, he's averaging 8.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 assists across 18.9 minutes while shooting 72.2 percent from the field.

• Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Pulls down 11 boards in win

  01/27/2020 •

  Zubac posted six points (3-4 FG), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes Sunday in the Clippers' 112-97 win over the Magic. Zubac looked as though he might have started to cut into Montrezl Harrell's role as the Clippers' top center in mid-January, but the 22-year-old has since seen his playing time decline. While he's still offering strong per-minute production over his last five outings (6.6 points, 7.4 boards and 1.6 assists in 18.0 minutes), Zubac will remain more of a 14- or 16-team fantasy option until he seizes a larger portion of the center timeshare.

• Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Efficient in loss

  01/23/2020 •

  Zubac delivered 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes in the Clippers' 102-95 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday. The young big was excellent from an efficiency standpoint, and he was a bit more involved offensively than usual with Kawhi Leonard (load management), Paul George (hamstring) and Patrick Beverley (groin) all sitting out the contest. Zubac's scoring tally was only his second of the double-digit variety since the calendar flipped to 2020, however, so his most consistent form of fantasy contribution continues to be on the boards, an area where he's averaging 7.1 rebounds per contest across 10 January games.

• Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Sixth double-double of season

  01/15/2020 •

  Zubac posted 12 points (6-8 FG), 10 rebounds, four blocks and two assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 128-103 win over the Cavaliers. Zubac hadn't logged double-digit points or rebounds in any of his last three outings, but he snapped both of those streaks Tuesday while also finishing just one block shy of matching his season high in the category. The 25 minutes were also his second-most of the season, and it wasn't a garbage-time special, either. Zubac checked out of the contest with 1:52 remaining in third quarter and never returned, as coach Doc Rivers decided to roll with Montrezl Harrell at center even while the game was well in hand. Considering Kawhi Leonard also sat out the final 12 minutes, Zubac's lack of action in the fourth quarter may point to the 22-year-old potentially seeing his role grow in more competitive contests.
