Zubac

Zubac closed out the month with his second game in March with at least 20 rebounds. He even played 38 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back to get there. The 28-year-old center had 18 points on 10 shots and dished out five assists on the offensive end. The Clippers have three more games this week with a matchup against the Pelicans set for Wednesday.

Zubac did not miss a shot from the field on Friday, the first time this season that he has accomplished that feat. As good as the Clippers center has been, he’s recently taken things to another level, providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Even better for the Clippers is that Zubac only needed to play 25 minutes in Friday’s 32-point victory. On Sunday, he’ll face a significant test when the Clippers visit the Cavaliers.

Another game, another double-double for Big Zu, who has recorded one in five consecutive outings. Over the past two weeks, the Clippers center has offered top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Zubac has been one of the most pleasant surprises in fantasy basketball, taking advantage of a role that expanded when Paul George left for Philadelphia. He’ll look to end Week 21 on a high when the Clippers visit Brooklyn on Friday and Cleveland two nights later.

Zubac has only failed to record a double-double twice since the All-Star break, as he continues to provide reliable (and excellent) value to fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, the Clippers center has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats. Zubac will look to add another double-double to his tally on Thursday when the Clippers open a three-game week against the Knicks.

Zubac added another double-double to his season total in another big win for the red-hot Clippers. They have won five in a row and eight of their last nine, and Zubac’s dominance has been a big reason for that. He has had the best season of his career, which includes career-highs for points, rebounds, assists and minutes per game. Tyronn Lue has finally handed the keys to the center position to Zubac instead of making him split minutes with another big, and it has resulted in success for both fantasy managers and the Clippers.

Zubac turned 28 on Tuesday and celebrated the occasion with one of the best games of his career. He recorded his third 20/20 game of the season, shooting 13-of-18 from the field. And since the All-Star break, Zubac has been a second-round player in nine-cat formats. Like Norman Powell, Big Zu has flourished for the Clippers after the team lost Paul George in free agency last summer. And fantasy managers have reaped the rewards.

Zubac finished Sunday’s win two assists shy of a triple-double, which would have been the first of his career. The Clippers center’s eight dimes were a career-high, and he has been a valuable asset for fantasy managers this season. Since the All-Star break, Zubac has been a top-25 player in nine-cat formats. While flashier names may be discussed in connection with the Most Improved Player award, Big Zu’s growth should not be ignored.

Zubac’s steak of 10 straight games with at least 10 rebounds came to an end Friday. The 27-year-old center only played 30 minutes as the Clippers blew out the Hawks 121-98. Zubac was only able to pull down six rebounds before the game was out of reach. Still, he was able to get 18 points on just nine shots. Zubac has been a big help to fantasy mangers this year as he’s provided top-50 value on the season.

Reaching double figures in rebounds for the tenth straight game, Zubac thoroughly outplayed Bam Adebayo on Wednesday. The Clippers center has been one of the major surprises in fantasy basketball this season, as he has been a top 50 player in nine-cat formats. Games against the Hawks and Hornets to end Week 19 are two more opportunities for Zubac to shine, and given how well he’s played, it’s a safe bet that fantasy managers will receive good value.

Zubac extended his double-double streak to nine games, though it wasn’t enough to add another win for the Clippers. Zubac’s best categories this season have been rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage, all of which were on full display on Tuesday. However, he was also able to provide some dimes as a bonus. He didn’t reach his season-high of six assists, but this was the seventh time that he has had at least five assists in a game this year. Zubac has played 39 minutes per game over their last four games, which will only increase his fantasy ceiling.
