Matas Buzelis posts 20 points with four blocks in loss

Wednesday's four-block performance highlighted Buzelis' defensive impact as he finished with 20 points, four three-pointers, three rebounds, one assist and one steal in Chicago's loss to Detroit. The forward shot 7-of-15 from the field and converted two of three free throws, marking his third 20-point outing over the last four contests. Recent injuries to Josh Giddey and Coby White have opened additional minutes, though the absences haven't translated to a significant fantasy boost for the rookie.

Fantasy Impact

His defensive production stood out against the Pistons, with the block total providing his most notable contribution beyond the scoring. The combination of efficient perimeter shooting and rim protection offers a foundation moving forward despite the team loss.
