Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Drills trio of threes
Buzelis recorded 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 loss to Boston.
Buzelis finished one point shy of tying the team high on the night and two rebounds shy of a double-double. He's also in a good rhythm with his shot after back-to-back games with three makes from behind the arc. Over his past five games, Buzelis is averaging 3.4 threes per game.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Leads Chicago with 21 points
Buzelis contributed 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 136-120 loss to the Nuggets.
Buzelis led the Bulls in scoring Saturday, posting his 15th 20-plus point game of the season and fourth in his last seven outings. With Nikola Vucevic and Coby White (calf) traded to the Celtics and Hornets, respectively, Buzelis has had the opportunity to step into a larger role offensively for the rest of the season, and even more so in the absence of Josh Giddey (hamstring). Buzelis has averaged 20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.7 threes and 2.0 blocks over his last three appearances.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Hits for team-high 22 in loss
Buzelis ended with 22 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 loss to Milwaukee.
The second-year forward led the Bulls in scoring as he reached 20 points for the third time in the last five games. He also racked up a career-high five blocks. With Chicago beginning a rebuild Tuesday by shipping Nikola Vucevic to Boston, Buzelis should become even more of a focal point in the offense. He's drained multiple three-pointers in 10 of the last 11 games, averaging 15.5 points, 5.6 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.8 blocks over that stretch while shooting 42.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Commits eight turnovers in win
Buzelis recorded 21 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and eight turnovers in 33 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 victory over the Heat.
Buzelis finished Saturday's game as the Bulls' second-leading scorer behind Ayo Dosunmu (29 points). However, the former also committed a season-high eight turnovers, due in part to his expanded role on offense in the absences of Josh Giddey (hamstring), Coby White (calf), Jalen Smith (calf) and Nikola Vucevic (rest). Buzelis' role in Sunday's rematch against Miami could shrink if any of his teammates that sat out of Saturday's contest are cleared to return.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Reaches 20-point mark
Buzelis finished with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 loss to the Pacers.
Buzelis was efficient as a scorer and active on the glass, as he ended just two boards shy of recording what would've been his first double-double since Dec. 5. The second-year guard has reached the 20-point mark in five of his 14 appearances since the beginning of January, so while he's not a go-to option on offense for Chicago, he's producing enough to be a reliable option across all fantasy formats. He's averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this month.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Keeps up solid run Monday
Buzelis chipped in 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Monday's 129-118 loss to the Lakers.
Buzelis' minutes can vary more than most other consistent starters, but he still scored in double figures in his sixth consecutive game Monday. The second-year forward has averaged 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.7 minutes per game in his last six appearances.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Goes for 21 points in win
Buzelis closed with 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 138-110 victory over the Clippers.
Buzelis continued his recent run of production, filling the box score once again. After a frustrating start to the season, it appears as though Buzelis may have finally earned the trust of head coach Billy Donovan, having played at least 30 minutes in seven of the past 10 games. For those who were able to navigate the early-season difficulties, things are certainly looking more positive moving forward.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Puts up 19 points in loss
Buzelis logged 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Rockets.
Buzelis reached at least 19 points for the 13th time this campaign in Tuesday's loss. Across 39 regular-season games, the second-year forward is on pace to return ninth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats with averages of 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Hits for 20 in Wednesday's loss
Buzelis closed Wednesday's 108-93 loss to Detroit with 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal in 33 minutes.
The second-year forward shook off an illness to score at least 20 points for the third time in the last four games, while the four rejections were a season high. Buzelis has been on a roll the last few weeks, and over the last 11 games, he's averaging 18.3 points, 5.0 boards, 2.7 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Good to go Wednesday
Buzelis (illness) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Following the morning shootaround, Buzelis was upgraded from questionable to probable. Since then, he's officially been given the green light to suit up, and there's been no word of any restrictions ahead of this matchup.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Goes through shootaround
Buzelis (illness) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Johnson adds that Buzelis was smiling and seemingly in good spirits while getting shots up. Buzelis remains questionable on the injury report, but he's trending in the right direction to suit up Wednesday in Detroit.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Upgraded to probable
Buzelis (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
This is an expected update after Buzelis made it through shootaround without any setbacks. The forward is averaging 20.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 three-pointers over his last four appearances.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Questionable for Wednesday
Buzelis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with an illness.
This is a new issue for Buzelis, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls may be cautious. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips could be more involved for the Bulls if Buzelis can't give it a go.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Steps up vs. Orlando
Buzelis produced 21 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-114 victory over the Magic.
Buzelis was a strong contributor across the board Friday, leading his shorthanded squad in points, assists and blocks. He shouldered a larger workload without the services of Coby White (calf), Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Zach Collins (toe), posting arguably his best all-around performance of the 2025-26 season so far. Buzelis should continue to have opportunities to shine until Chicago can shake the injury bug.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Solid with 19 points in win
Buzelis produced 19 points (8-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 win over the Pelicans.
Although Buzelis had some struggles with his shooting stroke, he logged enough shot volume to offset the deficiency. Most of his misses came beyond the arc, where he connected only twice over nine attempts. Buzelis would do well to tone down the long-range shot, as he's converting at a 34.8 percent clip from downtown. The 21-year-old is on pace to surpass his rookie numbers, averaging 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 33 games.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Cleared to play Friday
Buzelis (leg) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers.
Buzelis sustained a leg injury during the fourth quarter of the Bulls' 126-123 win over the Hawks on Tuesday, which prevented him from returning. The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, and the second-year forward is on track to play Friday. Buzelis has averaged 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals over 27.9 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Does not return Tuesday
Buzelis sustained an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 126-123 win over the Hawks, per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and did not return.
Buzelis stepped on an opposing player's foot and limped to the locker room with 6:42 remaining in the final quarter. He returned to the bench shortly thereafter but never checked back in, finishing with 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two blocks across 18 minutes. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game against Philadelphia.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Heads to locker room Tuesday
Buzelis exited to the locker room during Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to an apparent leg injury, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Buzelis left the game limping and went straight to the locker room after appearing to step on Asa Newell's foot. However, Buzelis returned to the bench shortly thereafter. If he doesn't get back into the game, Kevin Huerter and Patrick Williams are candidates to see more minutes.
