Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Hits for 17 against Cavs
Buzelis recorded 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 139-117 loss to the Cavaliers.
The 11th overall pick in the 2024 Draft has adapted well to his new starting role. Over 11 games since shifting into the starting five, Buzelis is averaging 12.7 points, 4.1 boards, 2.4 assists, 1.2 threes and 0.8 blocks in 27.2 minutes a contest. The 20-year-old has plenty of room for growth in his production and skills -- he's shooting just 44.3 percent from the floor and 23.6 percent from three-point range during that stretch.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Full stat line Sunday
Buzelis registered 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 127-112 loss to Indiana.
Buzelis provided a balanced output in his 10th start of the season, continuing to build on a promising month of February. The rookie first-rounder remains a work in progress on both ends of the floor, but the 24-37 Bulls could be inclined to allow him to stick with the starting lineup going forward. As a member of Chicago's first unit, Buzelis has averaged 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes but is shooting just 25.0 percent from deep.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Posts solid line
Buzelis notched 17 points (6-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's 142-110 victory over the 76ers.
Buzelis did not have an efficient night by any means, but his fantasy managers will be encouraged by the bump in usage -- Nikola Vucevic (calf) sat this game out and is likely day-to-day. With Patrick Williams (knee) going to miss more time, Buzelis is going to have plenty of opportunity to put up fantasy numbers. Through nine February outings, Buzelis is averaging 14.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Scores team-high 12 points
Buzelis totaled 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 132-92 loss to the Pistons.
Buzelis remained in the starting lineup, leading the Bulls with 12 points. Only two players scored double digits as Chicago turned in arguably the worst performance by any team this season. Ignoring this game, Buzelis has been trending in the right direction of late and appears as though he is going to play upwards of 30 minutes per game moving forward.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Continues excellent play
Buzelis finished Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Warriors with 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
After scoring in single digits in 23 straight games, Buzelis has reached the double-digit plateau in six straight games. During that stretch, the rookie has averaged 15.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.7 blocks in 27.2 minutes per game while shooting 62.3 percent from the field. Buzelis has drawn back-to-back starts and played at least 29 minutes in three consecutive contests.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Strong performance in start
Buzelis logged 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Buzelis received the first start of his career, sliding in for Lonzo Ball who was resting on the second night of a back-to-back. Having upped his production of late, Buzelis made the most of his promotion, delivering another strong two-way performance. With the Bulls positioned towards the bottom of the standings once again, the hope is that Buzelis will now be able to hold onto a significant role for the remainder of the season.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: First career start Wednesday
Buzelis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
With Lonzo Ball (knee) taking a seat Wednesday, Buzelis will draw his first career start with the Bulls. The rookie forward has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 2.5 threes in 26.1 minutes over his last four games, and he's set for a boost in playing time against Minnesota.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Perfect performance against Miami
Buzelis contributed 24 points (10-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 133-124 win over the Heat.
The 11th overall pick in the 2024 Draft set a new career scoring high while tying his previous best in made threes as part of a perfect shooting night. Rather than hitting the proverbial rookie wall, Buzelis may be getting stronger as the season progresses -- he's played 20-plus minutes in five straight games, the first time he's seen that consistent a workload, and he's turned the opportunity into 13.8 points, 4.2 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.2 blocks a contest while shooting an eye-popping 71.1 percent from the floor and 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from beyond the arc. Especially if Nikola Vucevic gets moved before Thursday's trade deadline, the 6-foot-10 Buzelis is making a strong case to get a look in the starting five for a Bulls team in need of some length up front.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Leader off bench in defeat
Buzelis posted 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-119 loss to the Pistons.
Buzelis provided a spark off the Bulls bench in Sunday's contest, leading all second-unit players in scoring and threes made while hauling in a trio of rebounds with a bench-leading minute total. Buzelis has connected on at least two threes in 11 outings, including in three straight contests. He has now surpassed the double-digit mark in seven appearances, including three consecutive.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Another double-digit scoring outing
Buzelis totaled 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks in 26 minutes during Friday's 122-106 victory over the Raptors.
Zach LaVine's (personal) absence has opened up more usage on the Bulls over the past two games. Julian Phillips was also a DNP-Coach's Decision in this game, opening up some more time on the wing. Both factors have contributed to Buzelis scoring double-digit points in back-to-back games for just the second time in this rookie season, totaling 24 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in 48 minutes. Trade rumors about LaVine and veteran center Nikola Vucevic ahead of Thursday's trade deadline make Buzelis an interesting fantasy basketball stash option. Though the rookie hasn't had many standout performances, he's been steadily racking up minutes and showing off his athleticism. Maybe the most intriguing part of Buzelis' profile at the moment is his defensive upside, as he's averaging 2.2 blocks and 0.6 steals per 36 minutes. He's combining that with 14.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.2 threes and 1.2 assists per 36.
