• Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Iffy to face Milwaukee

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Buzelis (illness) is questionable to face the Bucks on Saturday. Buzelis missed the loss to the Hawks on Thursday due to an illness, and the questionable tag ahead of Saturday's contest doesn't clarify his status. As such, a decision will likely be made closer to Saturday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. Buzelis is averaging 7.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game since the beginning of December while experiencing an uptick in his minutes off the bench.

  Buzelis (nose) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

• Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Delivers career-high mark in loss

  11/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Buzelis recorded 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 loss to the Grizzlies. Buzelis scored in double digits for just the second time this season, and this was the rookie's best scoring mark of the campaign. As good as he looked Saturday, Buzelis' playing time has been inconsistent, and he's played more than 15 minutes just five times all season long. That's enough reason to avoid rostering Buzelis in most formats, as he doesn't see enough time to be a valuable fantasy contributor in most formats.
