Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Fails to produce in loss Friday
Rotowire
Beverley had zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists over 27 minutes during Friday's 102-91 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.
Beverley couldn't lift his team to victory Friday, failing to score in 27 minutes. The veteran guard was unable to provide his usual spark, allowing the Heat to roll over the top of the Bulls down the stretch. Looking ahead, Beverley is no spring chicken, meaning his days of being a fantasy-relevant player may be coming to an end, no matter his role next season.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Beverley is out for Friday's game versus the Mavericks due to rest, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
Beverley will sit out Friday's game with the Bulls locked into 10th place in the Eastern Conference. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. Beverley's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Detroit.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Makes mark on defensive end
Rotowire
Beverley tallied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds, four steals and one block in 28 minutes in Wednesday's 105-92 loss to the Bucks.
Beverley paid off handsomely for those that streamed him for defensive stats, and he even came through with his second-best assist total since he joined the Bulls in mid-February. Since the Bulls are locked in as the Eastern Conference's No. 10 seed, head coach Billy Donovan told K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago after Wednesday's game that all of Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan could be candidates to rest Friday in Dallas. Donovan omitted Beverley from that group, so it's possible the veteran guard could be thrust into a more expanded role Friday if he plays. On the other hand, it's possible that Beverley could be active but play more limited minutes than usual, so he'll still carry an element of risk as a streaming option.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Poor outing against Lakers
Rotowire
Beverley produced zero points (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Lakers.
If Austin Reaves doing the "too small" celebration wasn't bad enough, Beverley also failed to score for the second time in his last five outings. He is averaging 4.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals on a 28.6 field-goal percentage over that stretch. Beverley's only true fantasy value is if your team desperately needs steals.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Minimal impact in loss
Rotowire
Beverley chipped in zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 116-91 loss to the 76ers.
Beverley failed to score for the first time since Feb. 26 and played the fewest minutes of any Chicago starter Wednesday. He is averaging 6.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists across his last 10 appearances. Beverley is also shooting just 40.4 percent from the field over that span.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Grabs 11 boards in loss
Rotowire
Beverley totaled three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to the Kings.
Beverley's shooting tailed off considerably after he put up 16 points on 6-for-7 shooting from the field in the Bulls' previous game Saturday against the Rockets, but he managed to pull down double-digit boards for the second straight contest. He paired the rebound production with solid numbers in the defensive categories, which helped make up for the poor shooting and lackluster assist total. Beverley is averaging 5.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 three-pointers, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 steals in 28.7 minutes per game through his first nine outings with the Bulls. While his overall production isn't outstanding, it's enough to make him a roster-worthy player in 14-team leagues depending on a manager's needs.

Rotowire
Beverley accumulated 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 119-111 win over Houston.

He also tied his season high with 10 boards, a mark he's reached three times now, and notched his second double-double of the campaign -- both with Chicago. Across eight appearances with the Bulls, the veteran point guard is averaging 5.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 0.8 blocks in 28.6 minutes per game.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Unproductive in loss Friday
Rotowire
Beverley ended Friday's 125-104 loss to Phoenix with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes.
Beverley couldn't deliver another strong performance Friday, barely forcing the statistician to break a sweat. While his real-life impact continues to be visible on most nights, his days of being a consistent fantasy producer are well behind him. He can be streamed in on low-volume nights for anyone needing steals and out-of-position rebounds and blocks, but as we saw tonight, even those categories can be sketchy.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Starts in debut
Rotowire
Beverley ended Friday's 131-87 victory over the Nets with eight points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 22 minutes.
Beverley immediately started for the Bulls in his debut and did what he said he'd do, bringing energy and defense to the floor. While it wasn't an amazing stat line, Beverley helped the Bulls win their first game since Feb. 6 and will be looking to get them into the playoffs. As long as he's starting, Beverley will be a solid contributor in assists, three-pointers and defensive stats.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Starting in Chicago debut
Rotowire
Beverley will start at point guard in his Chicago debut Friday against the Nets.
Beverley and Alex Caruso will join a starting lineup that also includes Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic. Meanwhile, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams will shift to the bench. If Beverley's workload is substantial, he could emerge with some decent fantasy value and has the ability to produce assists, three-pointers and defensive stats at a league-average rate.

Bulls' Patrick Beverley: Set to join Chicago
Rotowire
Beverley is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Bulls on Monday upon clearing waivers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The Bulls were targeting Russell Westbrook to address the point guard position, but he opted to join the Clippers earlier Monday, forcing Chicago to pivot to Beverley. Beverley should have a real shot to push Ayo Dosunmu for the starting gig and could settle into a 20-plus-minute role right away, especially if Alex Caruso (foot) and Goran Dragic (knee) remain sidelined following the All-Star break. In 45 games with the Lakers earlier this season, Beverley averaged 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 26.9 minutes per contest while shooting 40.2 percent from the field.

Patrick Beverley: Set for buyout
Rotowire
Beverley met with the Magic on Friday and is working toward a buyout with the team,Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Despite being acquired from the Lakers on Thursday, the 34-year-old Beverley doesn't fit the Magic's rebuilding timeline and is thus expected to get the opportunity to explore free agency. The veteran guard started in all 45 of his appearances for the Lakers this season but could join a contender in a bench role for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.

Magic's Patrick Beverley: Dealt to Orlando, could get buyout
Rotowire
The Magic acquired Beverley, a future second-round pick and cash considerations from the Lakers on Thursday in exchange for Mo Bamba, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast', Beverley is expected to agree to a buyout with Orlando and potentially re-sign with the Timberwolves, though multiple contending clubs are expected to vie for the veteran guard's services if he hits the open market. Beverley had enjoyed a consistent starting role for the Lakers, but he averaged 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 26.9 minutes per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the field over his 45 appearances. Whether he ultimately settles with Minnesota or another team, Beverley may have difficulty finding the kind of playing time he received in Los Angeles.

Lakers' Patrick Beverley: Dealing with knee soreness
Rotowire
Beverley won't play Tuesday against the Knicks due to left knee soreness, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Beverley played 35 minutes during Monday's loss to Brooklyn, marking the third time over the Lakers' past four games that he's seen at least that many minutes. However, he'll take a seat for the second half of the back-to-back set due to a knee injury. It appears the veteran point guard's absence is simply a load management situation, but fantasy mangers should still monitor Beverley's status ahead of Thursday's matchup in Indiana. In his absence, Lonnie Walker is a likely candidate to rejoin the starting lineup, while Max Christie could see increased minutes off the bench.
