NBA Fantasy Risers: da Silva, Buzelis, Filipowski Heating Up

Tristan da Silva is emerging as a must-add fantasy asset with Franz Wagner and Anthony Black sidelined in Orlando. The 24-year-old forward exploded for a career-high 26 points Thursday, adding seven rebounds, four steals, and three 3-pointers in overtime. He's averaging over 30 minutes and scoring in double figures in five of seven March games.

Matas Buzelis continues validating his early-round draft status, ranking as a Top 50 fantasy player for Chicago. The 21-year-old is peaking at the perfect time, averaging 23.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 3.3 3-pointers in March. He's coming off back-to-back 41 and 22-point performances despite the Bulls' fading playoff hopes.

Kyle Filipowski is finally breaking through in Utah after a season of limited opportunities. Since Jusuf Nurkic's season-ending surgery, the 22-year-old has blossomed to 15.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game in 28 minutes. With the Jazz tanking but Filipowski healthy, he should be rostered everywhere despite a light schedule.
