Matas Buzelis: Nets 21 points with five stocksBuzelis totaled 21 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Monday's 125-120 loss to Orlando.
Coby White, Josh Giddey, Kevin Huerter, Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vucevic will start Friday's game against the Hornets.Huerter and Vucevic are back after sitting out Monday's loss to the Pelicans. Of the two, the latter's return is more important, given his superior fantasy value and the way the Bulls were dominated on the boards in New Orleans. Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams will come off the bench, with the former still having value to fantasy managers.
Josh Giddey, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vucevic will start Saturday's game against the Wizards.The Bulls are without Isaac Okoro for Saturday's game, so Dosunmu will remain in the starting lineup for another game. Filling the void in the lineup is White, who makes his first start of the season after coming off the bench in his first two appearances. He'll be limited to 28 minutes, but Coby should be slotted into all fantasy lineups.
Coby White (calf) and Matas Buzelis (ankle) are available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.While Buzelis exited Friday's loss to the Heat after spraining his left ankle, White was held out for injury management reasons. Both players are available, but the latter will be restricted to 28 minutes as he continues to work his way back from the calf injury that delayed his season debut until November 16.
