Buzelis closed with 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 138-110 victory over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Buzelis continued his recent run of production, filling the box score once again. After a frustrating start to the season, it appears as though Buzelis may have finally earned the trust of head coach Billy Donovan, having played at least 30 minutes in seven of the past 10 games. For those who were able to navigate the early-season difficulties, things are certainly looking more positive moving forward.

Across 39 regular-season games, the second-year forward is on pace to return ninth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats with averages of 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

The second-year forward shook off an illness to score at least 20 points for the third time in the last four games, while the four rejections were a season high.

Buzelis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with an illness.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new issue for Buzelis, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls may be cautious. Patrick Williams and Julian Phillips could be more involved for the Bulls if Buzelis can't give it a go.

Buzelis produced 21 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-114 victory over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Buzelis was a strong contributor across the board Friday, leading his short-handed squad in points, assists and blocks. He shouldered a larger workload without the services of Coby White (calf), Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Zach Collins (toe), posting arguably his best all-around performance of the 2025-26 season so far. Buzelis should continue to have opportunities to shine until Chicago can shake the injury bug.

Buzelis produced 19 points (8-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Although Buzelis had some struggles with his shooting stroke, he logged enough shot volume to offset the deficiency. Most of his misses came beyond the arc, where he connected only twice over nine attempts. Buzelis would do well to tone down the long-range shot, as he's converting at a 34.8 percent clip from downtown. The 21-year-old is on pace to surpass his rookie numbers, averaging 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 33 games.

Buzelis (leg) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Buzelis sustained a leg injury during the fourth quarter of the Bulls' 126-123 win over the Hawks on Tuesday, which prevented him from returning. The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, and the second-year forward is on track to play Friday. Buzelis has averaged 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals over 27.9 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.
