Bulls forward Matas Buzelis is in the midst of arguably his best stretch as a pro, averaging 18.3 points and five rebounds in his last 18 games entering the Bulls’ matchup Saturday against the Mavericks.
With guard Coby White (strained calf) being in-and-out of the lineup and guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) sidelined, Buzelis has picked up more of an offensive responsibility. His easygoing demeanor, however, allows him to deal with the pressures that come with being an NBA player.
The matchup against the Mavs, though, had some extra juice.
