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

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.
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.

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.
