Bitim amassed 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Monday's 127-92 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Bitim bested his previous career high of 10 points en route to his second double-digit scoring performance of the season. He led Chicago in scoring amid an abysmal offensive showing at home, with no starter exceeding 13 points. Chicago was down 44-16 at the end of the first quarter in a game that quickly slipped away.

Bitim recorded six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 125-122 victory over Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Since converting his two-way contract into a three-year deal with the Bulls on Feb. 26, Bitim has carved out a sizable bench role. He's played double-digit minutes in four of the last five games, averaging 4.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 16.0 minutes during that stretch. With Patrick Williams (foot) out for the season, there should be minutes available for Bitim as long as he continues to be serviceable in limited action.

Bitim signed a three-year, $4.6 million deal with Chicago that is guaranteed for the rest of this season and non-guaranteed for the following two seasons, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Bitim's two-way contract was converted to a multi-year deal Friday, although details had been unannounced until Monday.
