Availability
Matas Buzelis was a catalyst early in Friday's 120-105 loss to the Pacers, scoring 10 of the team's first 19 points. He maintained a high level of activity over 35 minutes, finishing with 19 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field and a perfect 9-of-9 from the line, while adding 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block.
Fantasy Impact
While his defensive presence was felt throughout the game, ball security was a struggle, as the forward committed a season-high six turnovers. Despite the mistakes, he managed to secure his second double-double of the season and the third of his career. The strong individual effort was not enough to prevent the Bulls from suffering their sixth consecutive defeat.
Matas Buzelis (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact
