Vucevic

One game after he matched his season-low with five rebounds, Vucevic corralled 14 and recorded his 16th double-double in Boston. The 14 rebounds matched his season-high, and Vooch shot well from the field. Some fantasy managers may have wanted more offensive activity from him, as Vucevic only attempted nine shots. But, they will receive a boost in the field goal percentage category.

Vucevic was back in the lineup after missing Friday’s game against the Hornets. He led the Bulls in points and shot attempts against the Raptors. Zach LaVine was out and Josh Giddey exited in the third quarter, which only increased Vucevic’s usage and importance for the Bulls. Vooch continues to have a great season for his fantasy managers.

Vucevic is back after missing Friday’s win over the Hornets, and his return pushes Jalen Smith to the bench. The other change is Williams, who will start in his second game back from a foot injury that sidelined him for ten. He’ll fill the void left by Zach LaVine, who will not play due to lower back spasms.

Vucevic is back in the lineup after sitting out Friday’s win over Charlotte, the first game he has missed this season. Jalen Smith, who provided solid streaming value as the spot starter in Vooch’s absence, will return to the bench. He loses most of his fantasy value when utilized in a reserve role.

Friday’s win over the Hornets was the first game Vucevic has missed this season. Jalen Smith filled in admirably as the starting center and will be worth streaming if Vooch cannot play in Toronto.

Vooch will miss a game for the first time this season, which should allow Jalen Smith to slide into the starting lineup. Smith should see the majority of the minutes at center, with Adama Sanogo likely backing him up.

Vooch has yet to miss a game this season, but if he were to be sidelined for this one, Jalen Smith will replace him in the starting unit. Smith should have solid streaming upside if he gets the starting nod.

An already tricky matchup grew exponentially tougher when it was announced that Joel Embiid would be active for the 76ers. That said, Vucevic attempting just seven shots was surprising, given his importance to the Bulls offense. He has been an outstanding fantasy option thus far, providing 1st-round value in 9-cat formats.

Vucevic was also probable for Friday’s loss to the Pacers, ultimately starting and playing 30 minutes. He should be available for the matchup with Philadelphia, but a few more minutes may be available to backup Jalen Smith. Smith should not be streamed in this spot, but he would be worth the risk if Vucecic sits.

The Pacers were able to keep Vucevic in check, something few teams have done this season. He’s providing top-10 per-game value in 9-cat formats and top-20 in 8-cat. The question is what Vucevic’s hot start has done to his trade value and whether or not the Bulls would look to kickstart their rebuild by making a move.
