6 Cristiano Felicio C

Felicio had 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-87 loss to the Pistons.

Felicio was solid in his last game of the season, making the most of his limited upside. He saw additional playing time down the stretch as the Bulls gave their younger players an opportunity to prove their worth. Felicio is no guarantee to be the starter next season an is going to require a wait and see approach to work out where he might go in drafts.

Felicio managed 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes in Saturday's 124-96 loss to the Nets.

Felicio paced the Bulls in rebounding on his way to his first double-double since March 23. The third-year center has enjoyed extensive playing time following the All-Star break, and he's provided reason for optimism with several of his performances. Factoring in Saturday's line, Felicio is averaging 7.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 23.8 minutes in 22 post-All-Star break contests, a span during which he's posted eight double-digit scoring efforts overall, including three double-doubles.

Felicio had six points (1-3 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, four steals and two assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to Boston.

Felicio played 28 minutes, finishing with a career-high four steals. He does not provide much in the scoring department but is a nice source of rebounds and field-goal percentage. The Bulls may have shut Robin Lopez down for the season which should allow Felicio to remain in the starting lineup. There is not much upside there but if you need some big man stats, you could do worse.

Felicio will pick up the start at center for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Felicio and Robin Lopez have alternated starting duties over the last few weeks and after Lopez started Sunday, Felicio will now get the call with the top unit Tuesday. Look for the big man to push for minutes in the upper-20s, though he's really nothing more than a rebounds specialist most nights.

Felicio will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Wizards, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Bulls continue to alternate rest days for veteran Robin Lopez and after holding him out during Friday's contest, he'll be active and pick up the start Sunday. As a result, Felicio heads to a bench role, though he'll still likely see plenty of run off the bench. Felicio pulled down a season-high 16 boards the last time out and the Bulls want to give their younger players as much run as possible over the last week and a half of the season, so his demotion may not mean much for his overall workload.
