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

  2D ago • 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.

  Buzelis provided nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 136-122 win over the Hawks. Buzelis played at least 20 minutes for the first time in more than two weeks, a welcome sign for Bulls fans. With Patrick Williams sidelined due to a foot injury, head coach Billy Donovan went on record stating that he expects Buzelis to play more for the time being. We have yet to see a lot from the rookie, but the next stretch of games could be a great opportunity for him to push for a more sizeable role moving forward.
