Matas Buzelis dropped 31 points (12-18 FG, 5-10 3PT, 2-2 FT) while also recording one steal, grabbing two rebounds, and dishing out one assist in a 146-115 win over the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

Buzelis continues a modest stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with five or more points in each of his last five games. The 20-year-old has made the most of an inconsistent role in the Chicago lineup in his rookie campaign, averaging 7.7 points and 3.1 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 18.0% so far this season.

Matas Buzelis totaled six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, and one assist in the Bulls’ 116-110 win over the Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Buzelis played just 15 minutes in this one, primarily due to foul trouble and the tight nature of the game, but his impact remains evident. As a rookie, he has already won the trust of the coaching staff and franchise, positioning himself as a foundational piece for the team’s future. With Nikola Vucevic back and Zach Collins playing well, his floor time could fluctuate, but it’s clear that Chicago is investing in his development. Buzelis is an intriguing streaming option in season-long leagues and a viable DFS play, but expectations should be set accordingly. His matchup against the Rockets next will be a great test of his ability to push through growing pains and take another step toward breaking through as a key contributor.

Matas Buzelis scored 8 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3P) with four rebounds, an assist, and a block in the Bulls' 121-103 win over the Pacers on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Buzelis fell below 10 points in a game for the first time in his last six. He's been fairly solid recently, but his three point woes continue as March goes on. He's only hitting at a 24% clip from deep this month, but with his average rate being closer to 32% (and in January as high as a 39% shooter from deep), he will hopefully find his rhythm soon.

Matas Buzelis scored 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) and grabbed seven rebounds in Tuesday's 139-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

The big man slotted into the starting lineup on Tuesday in the absence of Nikola Vucevic (calf). He ended up having a nice game with 17 points and seven rebounds, although he wasn't great from an efficiency perspective. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid but limited fantasy asset moving forward.

Matas Buzelis scored 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) and grabbed three rebounds in Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Fantasy Impact

Buzelis played well on Saturday. He wasn't a strong contributor in most areas of the game, but he was a solid scoring option for the Bulls and finished with 15 points on the night. Fantasy managers should be well pleased with his performance.
