Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic said he will be on a minutes restriction and play off the bench in Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Vucevic will return from a five-game absence and come off the bench for the first time since the 2016-17 season. Andre Drummond will presumably draw at least one more start at center for the Bulls. Zach LaVine (foot) will also be available off the bench, with a minutes restriction, following a multi-game absence.
The Hornets are allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to centers this season. Vucevic scored 39.9 FanDuel points against the Hornets last month, with 20 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, and 2 triples.
