Matas Buzelis recorded 24 points on efficient 9-of-15 shooting during Friday's win over the Cavaliers, filling the stat sheet with five rebounds, one assist, two steals, two blocks, and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
The performance marked one of the second-year forward's best outings of the season, falling just three points shy of his season-high. It was his sixth 20-point game of the campaign, already surpassing his total from his entire rookie season. While his fantasy ceiling remains somewhat capped by the veterans in Chicago's rotation, continued production like this strengthens his case for a larger role, especially with the trade deadline approaching.
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.
