Buzelis amassed nine points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over Cleveland. Buzelis continues to play limited minutes despite starting, resulting in muted production over the past week. In three games during that time, he has averaged just 9.3 points and 1.0 blocks in 23.2 minutes per contest. As per usual, it appears the Bulls will once again strive for mediocrity by securing a play-in spot. Buzelis is someone fantasy managers will want to try and hold, although moving on from him might help you avoid some sleepless nights.

Buzelis had nine points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Pelicans. It was a fairly quiet showing for the second-year forward, but he's performed well overall so far this season and is locked into a starting role at power forward. Buzelis has averaged 13.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.9 steals per contest in his last 15 games, chipping in across the board for the Bulls.

Buzelis provided 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-91 loss to the Warriors. Buzelis passed 1,000 career points in this one and finished as Chicago's second leading scorer, but the end result was yet another loss for the Bulls. This team has now lost seven straight games, but they'll have an excellent chance of turning things around Friday with a matchup against the 7-17 Hornets.

Buzelis closed Friday's 120-105 loss to the Pacers with 19 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes. Buzelis got off to a hot start in this one, scoring 10 of Chicago's first 19 points, and he was all over the place on defense. This was the third double-double of Buzelis' career and his second this season. However, it wasn't all roses, as Buzelis also finished with a season-high six turnovers as the Bulls lost their sixth straight game.

Buzelis supplied 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and two blocks in 21 minutes during Monday's 143-130 loss to the Pelicans. Buzelis was benched to start the second half with the Bulls rolling with Jalen Smith -- Patrick Williams was already starting in Nikola Vucevic's (knee) place. After a red-hot start to the campaign, Buzelis is suddenly stuck in a slump. Over his last five outings, the second-year forward has averaged 10.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.2 blocks in 23.4 minutes per contest.
