Matas Buzelis Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (ankle) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. The talented sophomore sprained his right ankle last week but missed only one game. He was back in action on Sunday against Sacramento, notching 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Buzelis has enjoyed a significantly larger role on offense during the second half of the season, scoring at least 20 points in four of his last five outings. He has also been a force on the glass, averaging 6.8 boards during that stretch.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (ankle) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Buzelis will shed the questionable tag and return to the mix after missing Thursday's game due to an ankle issue. The second-year forward has been on a nice run lately. Over the last five games, Buzelis is averaging 19.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 29.4 minutes per game. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Buzellis active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (ankle) could be absent for a second consecutive game on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings, as the team has listed him as questionable. Buzelis injured his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to Oklahoma City and missed his first game of the season on Thursday against Phoenix. Leonard Miller moved to the first unit on Thursday and could get another start against the Kings. In his first career start, Miller nearly bagged a double-double, finishing with eight points and nine rebounds. If only he hadn't gone 0-for-5 from three-point range, it might have been a very memorable night for Miller.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (ankle) will miss his first game of the season on Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns. The 21-year-old hurt his right ankle on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder and was initially listed as questionable for Thursday's action. Buzelis' absence opens the door for greater involvement from Leonard Miller and Nick Richards. Of the two players, Richards -- fresh off a 12-point, 13-rebound double-double -- offers more fantasy upside.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis missed the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an ankle sprain, K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Sports Network reports. Buzelis was attempting to produce his fourth consecutive 20-point game, but an ankle injury in the third quarter ruined a productive outing for him. The 21-year-old sophomore finished the contest with 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes. Buzelis could now miss his first game of the season when Chicago returns to action on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Leonard Miller, who tallied eight points and three rebounds in 21 minutes on Tuesday, may replace Buzelis in the first unit.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) will play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Buzelis was previously listed as questionable due to feeling unwell. The 21-year-old is coming off a solid outing against the Celtics on Monday, registering 26 points, three rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes of action. Buzelis, in his second NBA season, continues to improve and has been relatively productive fantasy-wise throughout the 2025-26 campaign.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He is dealing with an illness, and if Buzelis can't shake it off before tip-off, he would miss his first game of the season. The 21-year-old sophomore has taken an impressive leap in 2025-26, averaging 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips will likely be called upon to take on larger roles Wednesday night if Buzelis is unavailable.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (leg) was injured during Tuesday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. He appeared to injure his leg when he stepped on Hawks forward Asa Newell's foot and was subbed out with 6:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Buzelis went straight to the locker room. Buzelis soon returned to the bench but didn't re-enter the contest. The Chicago native finished a 126-123 victory with 15 points, two rebounds, and two blocks in 18 minutes. Patrick Williams, who saw only six minutes of action on Tuesday, may receive the largest bump in playing time if Buzelis has to exit the lineup.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (ankle) exited Friday's loss to Miami after 18 minutes and did not return. The second-year forward has averaged 14.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 27.7 minutes, with a recent five-game run of 13.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists on 45.5 percent shooting. If Buzelis misses time, Patrick Williams and Jalen Smith should take most of the frontcourt workload. Kevin Huerter may see extra run in smaller lineups, and Josh Giddey and Ayo Dosunmu could get minor usage bumps. Managers should continue holding Buzelis, as his current role and production remain secure once he's healthy.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis had his 2026-2027 rookie team option picked up by the organization on Friday. This is his third-year option as he'll be under contract for next season at $5.7 million. This comes as no surprise that the Bulls are bringing back the 11th overall pick from the 2024 draft. Last season, Buzelis averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across 18.9 minutes per game in 80 contests. It was a solid rookie campaign from Buzelis who saw limited playing time. The assumption is that Buzelis will become the starting power forward in Chicago soon. He could be someone worth thinking about late on draft day.
