Nikola Vucevic Has Nice Outing Against Knicks
3 years agoChicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic finally produced some good numbers on the offensive end Thursday night, going for 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting in a narrow loss to the Knicks. He was 3-for-5 from outside and 3-for-4 from the line, adding eight rebounds and six assists to his tally with one steal and zero turnovers in 36 minutes. Chicago has got a bunch of scorers and Vucevic hasn't been able to shine, but his efficiency has been on the up in recent games and better times might be ahead. The big Montenegrin has an intriguing matchup against Utah coming up next. He'll be battling with defensive specialist Rudy Gobert, but opposing centers have enjoyed their clashes with the Jazz this season, scoring 29.9 points per 48 minutes with 15.5 rebounds. Only Houston has allowed more points to centers this season.
