Fantasy Impact

Vucevic scored 6.0 points in the Bulls’ loss to the Nets, putting together his second-consecutive game with less than 10.0 points. Given his track record, we shouldn’t overreact. Still, it is also because of his track record that we could at least raise our eyebrows, as the last time he had back-to-back games with less than 10.0 points in a season was during his 2016-2017 season when he scored 4.0, 4.0, and 2.0 points to the Jazz, Thunder, and Pacers respectively. Vucevic will look to bounce back against a hungry Celtics squad this Tuesday. Given his upside and price point, he remains a must-start asset in most season-long leagues and could be worth rostering in daily formats. Vucevic has a usage rate of 21.9 percent, a plus-minus of -4.4, and is averaging 34.6 minutes, 15.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game while shooting 46.0 percent from the floor and 25.4 percent from beyond the arc.
