Pachulia started again Friday for the Bucks finishing with 12 points(4-10 FG, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one block, one steal and one assist.

Pachulia could see more starts going forward with Larry Sanders out for personal reasons with no return date set. Zaza and John Henson are both viable options in Sander's absence. Pachulia can be productive in areas most centers are not, seeing as that he is a solid free throw shooter(career 75%). You should also see an increase in his assists, as he often runs the show from the high post in coach Jason Kidd's system.

Pachulia notched his second double-double of the season Saturday, scoring 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-3 FT) with 15 rebounds, three assists, and one block in 29 minutes.

Pachulia is is rarely worth owning when the Bucks frontcourt is healthy, but he benefits greatly from increased responsibility. As long as Sanders is out, Pachulia has increased value for steaming managers or for daily games players.

Pachulia played 30 minutes Tuesday, his second highest minute total of the year, scoring seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT) and picking up five assists and a rebound.

Larry Sanders only appeared in 13 minutes of action against the Thunder, and Pachulia has played at least 21 minutes in every game this month. In most leagues, though, Pachulia still isn't very valuable. He does have 26 rebounds in his past four games, but he's not a huge scorer, and he and Sanders' minutes could switch in any game.

Pachulia played 20 minutes on Sunday, scoring 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-4 FT), grabbing eight boards, with one assist and one steal.

This was an extremely efficient performance for Pachulia. Don't expect this to be a trend however, but take comfort that the Bucks' big man can produce alongside the likes of Larry Sanders when given a chance.

Pachulia (personal) will rejoin the Bucks in Cleveland for Tuesday's matchup with the Cavs, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Pachulia missed a pair of games over the weekend while attending the funeral of his grandmother in his native Republic of Georgia. He'll meet up with the team in Cleveland and should be expected to play Tuesday night, barring an unforeseen issue. With John Henson (foot) sidelined for what could be multiple weeks, Pachulia could see a mild bump in minutes in the short-term.

Pachulia (personal) will not play Saturday against the Rockets, FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.

Pachulia was a late addition to the starting lineup for the Bucks, as Larry Sanders didn't end up playing. Pachulia played 34 minutes, which was well over his average of 25 minutes, and was able to record his first double-double of the year. If Sanders has to sit out the Bucks' next game Wednesday, Pachulia will most likely draw the start again and see similar minutes. As soon as Sanders is back though, Pachulia will most likely head back to the bench and receive closer to his season average of minutes.

Pachulia will start at center Tuesday against the Knicks, with Larry Sanders (thigh) sitting out, Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.

Pachulia was elevated into the starting lineup after Larry Sanders was ruled out just before the start of Tuesday's game against the Knicks. It's his first start of the season, and he should see extended time. He'll also have a shot at sticking in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Nets, depending on the severity of Sanders' injury.

Pachulia (hamstring) played Wednesday and scored 4 points (2-5 FG) to go with 1 rebound, 2 steals, and 3 turnovers in 14 minutes of action.

Pachulia appeared uninhibited by the hamstring injury that bothered through the later part of preseason, but still played just 14 minutes. Zaza will compete for playing time this season with teammate John Henson, but will likely need to see an injury or trade of starter Larry Sanders to have much fantasy value this season.

Pachulia (hamstring) will not play Wednesday, Fox Sports Wisconsin's Andrew Gruman reports.

He is still battling a hamstring injury he suffered over the weekend, and his status for the start of the regular season is uncertain.

Pachulia (hamstring) could play Wednesday against the T'Wolves, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.

Pachulia (hamstring) will not play in Monday's preseason game versus the Knicks, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Pachulia strained his hamstring during Friday's recent exhibition outing and although he practiced Sunday, the big man will still be rested for Monday's game. Given his improving situation, Pachulia stands a decent chance of returning for Wednesday's final preseason contest.

Pachulia left Friday's game against the Timberwolves with a hamstring strain and will not return.

Larry Sanders (unspecified surgery) is already out for the rest of the preseason, so that leaves just John Henson as an option at center, if Pachulia misses further time. Consider him day-to-day for now, but he could be in jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season.

Zaza Pachulia hit 6-of-10 shots for 15 points, nine rebounds and a block in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers.

Pachulia failed to score in nine minutes on Friday, when he took stitches over his right eye, but was back on track tonight. And as long as he's starting for the Bucks, he's worth using in fantasy. And after struggling to block shots for most of the season, he has five of them over his last five games.

Zaza Pachulia had eight points, 16 rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's loss to the Heat.

Pachulia continues to provide upside with the Bucks' front line decimated by injury. Over the last five games, he's averaging 9.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per night. He's also shooting 86.2 percent from the free-throw line on the season. The problem is that Pachulia has to face the Bulls' dominant front line on Friday night, making him a candidate to hit the skids.
