Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Posts double-double Friday
Nikola Vucevic had 22 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Friday's 133-122 victory over Milwaukee.Vucevic didn't have his best shooting performance Friday, although, to be fair, it's not easy to score near the rim against a frontcourt of Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Still, the veteran big man delivered a solid showing and has now opened the season with back-to-back double-doubles. It's a better-than-expected start to the campaign for the 34-year-old veteran, who could have a ton of trade value as the season progresses if he manages to continue producing at this rate in the coming weeks.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Big double-double against Pels
Nikola Vucevic accumulated 21 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Pelicans.The 34-year-old center got his 14th NBA campaign off to a strong start, taking advantage of the absence of Zion Williamson (illness) from the New Orleans lineup. Vucevic could be the next veteran out the door for the Chicago Bulls after DeMar DeRozan was sent to the Kings in the offseason to kick-start a rebuild. But as long as he remains in Chicago, Vucevic should anchor the team's frontcourt and provide his usual plus production on the glass. He's recorded more than 40 double-doubles in six straight seasons.
