Nikola Vučević DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (calf) carries a probable tag ahead of Saturday's action against the Phoenix Suns. He is on the injury report with right calf soreness. However, it seems that this isn't a serious issue, and Vucevic will likely play. The Bulls big man has gone quiet offensively in recent weeks, averaging 14.6 points for the month. On Saturday, Vucevic has a good matchup to get back on track, as the Suns allow the fourth-most points per game to opposing centers. If Vucevic isn't in the lineup, Zach Collins will be expected to take on a huge workload, as Jalen Smith (concussion) will not be available against the Suns.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) is officially active ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. As expected, Vucevic will suit up after being listed as probable heading into this contest. He is dealing with an ankle issue, but it doesn't appear to be serious enough to hold him out of action. Vucevic hasn't been the best scoring option lately with 12 points or less in each of his last four games. Despite that, fantasy managers in season-long formats can go ahead and get him active in their lineups ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus Detroit.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (illness) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The big man is back in the mix following a one-game absence on Friday due to an illness. He appears to be feeling better now and figures to play his regular role in the rotation on Monday. Jalen Smith will head back to the bench after a spot-start on Friday. He'll lose most of his streaming appeal with Vucevic back in the starting five. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Vucevic back in their lineups for Monday's game.
