Ivica Zubac Scores Season-High 17 Points
Ivica Zubac scored a season-high 17 points in Thursday's 120-105 win over the Rockets. The former Laker also added 12 rebounds and one block in 20 minutes of play, making his overall stat line a double-double. The 22-year-old is not the most explosive player, averaging eight points, seven rebounds, and 18 minutes per game. His rebounding prowess is great, but his last double-double was on Jan. 14, proof of his limited fantasy ceiling. Zubac is a modest fantasy player, and he faces a very tough rebounding defense in the Lakers on Sunday.

Ivica Zubac Could Miss Friday's Game
Ivica Zubac (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Zubac notched his first career triple-double during Wednesday's contest. However, Zubac appears to have picked up an ankle injury in the process, so his status for Friday is uncertain. If Zubac sits, Ben Simmons and Drew Eubanks would likely be asked to pick up the slack. Neither have offered much value at all this season. Simmons is a solid defender, so possibly he could have some low-end value, but fantasy managers shouldn't consider him a viable option.

Ivica Zubac Will Play Thursday Against Washington
Ivica Zubac (eye) will return on Thursday night against the Wizards after a two-game absence due to a left eye corneal abrasion. Zubac has been excellent for Los Angeles this season, averaging 15.0 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocked shots per game while playing 31.5 minutes per game. He will be in a smash spot against the Wizards, who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers. His return will most likely send Mo Bamba back to the bench, especially since Nicolas Batum (finger) has also been cleared to return after missing Wednesday's contest with the Celtics.

Ivica Zubac Remains Out On Wednesday
Ivica Zubac (eye) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a left eye issue. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so hopefully Zubac can return for Thursday's game. For now, Mo Bamba figures to move into the starting five, but he only played 15 minutes during their last game. He finished with 10 points and seven rebounds, so Bamba is still worth a look as a streaming choice. Also, Nicolas Batum should see an increase in minutes with Zubac and Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting out on Wednesday.

Ivica Zubac Unavailable Versus Bulls
Ivica Zubac (eye) won't suit up on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. After playing through a back injury, Zubac was poked in the eye during Sunday's game against the Lakers. He posted 21 points, 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes before suffering the eye injury. While the 27-year-old is out of action, Kai Jones and Mo Bamba could take extra minutes. However, the two centers will not impact fantasy this evening.
