Matas Buzelis Season Outlook: Rising Two-Way Wing Primed for Third-Year Leap

Entering his third NBA campaign at age 21, Matas Buzelis is entrenched as Chicago’s starting small forward. Although he suffered an ankle sprain during the preseason on October 9, Buzelis noted the injury is minor and expects to travel with the team. Fantasy managers have full confidence in his role, as evidenced by a 100% roster rate alongside backcourt playmaker Josh Giddey.

Our models project Buzelis for a substantial workload, calling for 31.2 minutes and 29.9 fantasy points per game across 75 outings. We project him to contribute across multiple categories, highlighted by 17.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game. His high-end shot-blocking from the wing provides a rare peripheral advantage that easily validates his 85.1 ADP.

At his projected 75-game availability, Buzelis should deliver roughly 1,300 total points while anchoring category rosters with defensive versatility. If his offensive assertiveness expands within Chicago's restructured lineup, he offers legitimate breakout upside.
