Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Double-doubles with five dimes
Nikola Vucevic provided 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 125-120 loss to the Magic.Vucevic was held to 16 points on 5-for-14 shooting his previous game, so it was nice to see him come through with an efficient 20-point outing. The big man did bang knees with Wendell Carter early in the third quarter, and while Vucevic was able to play through it, that's the sort of injury that could swell up overnight. With a matchup against the 4-16 Nets on Wednesday, it wouldn't be shocking to see Vucevic get hit with a random rest day.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Comes close to double-double
Nikola Vucevic finished with 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 103-101 loss to the Pacers.Vucevic finished just two boards away from recording another double-double, and he also posted excellent numbers as a playmaker. The big man, who missed the Chicago Bulls' 143-130 loss to the Pelicans on Nov. 24 due to a knee issue, looked healthy and logged over 30 minutes for the first time since Nov. 19. He should be available and productive going forward. Despite being a secondary offensive option at times, Vucevic has already notched eight double-doubles this season.
