by Bruno Mulé | Bulls Correspondent | Thu, Feb 6th 9:07am EST

Matas Buzelis posted 14 points (4-10 FG, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two steals, and three blocks over 29 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact:

Making his first career start, Buzelis showcased his defensive upside with an impressive five combined steals and blocks. While his efficiency dropped from Tuesday’s perfect shooting performance, his length and athleticism were on full display. With Zach LaVine traded, Buzelis should continue seeing consistent minutes, making him an intriguing add in deeper leagues. If his defensive production holds, he could carve out a viable fantasy role down the stretch.
