Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Puts up 18 points Sunday
Buzelis recorded 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime loss to the Jazz.
Buzelis was unable to repeat the double-double he posted in the loss to the Pistons on Friday, but he recorded a third straight game with at least 15 points. The second-year forward continues to emerge as a reliable scoring weapon for Chicago, but some regression could be expected once Coby White, who made his season debut Sunday, returns to the starting lineup and handles his regular workload. Buzelis is averaging 14.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game in seven outings since the beginning of November.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Double-doubles with two blocks
Buzelis finished Wednesday's 124-113 loss to the Pistons with 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 34 minutes.
Not only was this Buzelis' first double-double of the season and just the second of his career, but he also set a new career high in rebounding. However, all was for naught, as the Bulls took a loss to a Pistons team that was missing four of their five regular starters. Chicago will look to get things back on track Sunday in Utah.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Struggles vs. Cleveland
Buzelis logged four points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 18 minutes during Saturday's 128-122 loss to the Cavaliers.
Buzelis has been one of the brightest spots for the Bulls in the early stages of the 2025-26 season, but he struggled badly in this game and posted his second-worst scoring mark of the campaign. As a second-year player, Buzelis will likely still have a few games in which he won't be able to make a significant impact, but more often than not, he's been reliable for Chicago. This four-point performance snapped a six-game streak of games with double-digit points for the forward, and he'll aim to bounce back when the Bulls take on the Spurs on Monday.

Buzelis reached the 20-point mark for the third time this season, and the second-year forward continues to show he can be one of the Bulls' go-to options on offense regularly. Buzelis has scored in double digits in six straight games, averaging 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game over that stretch.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Puts up 21 points in win
Buzelis notched 21 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 victory over Detroit.
Buzelis was in hot demand during fantasy drafts, and he certainly lived up to the hype on Opening Night. His starting role was never in doubt heading into the season, with Patrick Williams comfortably behind him, and as was the case in the preseason, a lot of the offense ran through the second-year forward. Buzelis appears poised for a potential breakout season as a source of points, three-pointers, rebounds and blocks.

Buzelis produced 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Denver.
Buzelis was everywhere in this game, and he even blocked Nikola Jokic several times. The second-year forward entered training camp with a ton of buzz, and he's certainly lived up to it in the preseason with averages of 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes across four appearances.

Buzelis put up 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one turnover in 25 minutes of Sunday's 127-121 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Through three preseason games, it's pretty clear that a ton of offense is going to go through Buzelis this season. The second-year forward is averaging 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per contest in that span, showcasing the same upside that made him a top waiver-wire pickup in the second half of the 2024-25 season.

Once again, Buzelis made a solid impact on both ends of the court in this game. Pegged as a potential breakout player by many in the fantasy community, Buzelis has certainly looked the part so far. Through two exhibitions, Buzelis is averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 18.6 minutes per contest while shooting 55.6 percent from the field.
