Big double-double against OKC Lopez provided 24 points (11-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 46 minutes during Wednesday's 136-132 double-overtime victory over t...
Impact The 13 boards were a season high, as were his made and attempted field goals. Lopez has topped 20 points in four of the last seven games while remaining a force on the defensive end, averaging 17.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 threes and 2.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor. With the Bucks' top three scorers all banged up right now, the veteran center will likely continue to see elevated usage.

Embraces huge offensive role Lopez provided 25 points (10-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Saturday's 108-94 victory over the Thunder.
Impact The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (wrist) due to injuries, and Lopez stepped his game up in a contest where Jrue Holiday had his worst offensive output of the campaign. Lopez has been one of the most surprising fantasy big men in the opening two weeks of the season, and his value has skyrocketed due to the impact he can generate on both ends of the court.

Faultless performance again Monday Lopez recorded 24 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 110-108 win over Detroit.
Impact The redemption tour continued Monday, putting up another strong two-way performance. Lopez is currently a first-round player, something that seemed impossible only 2 weeks ago. While this is a sell-high moment, on the surface, it is unlikely anyone is going to give you back a top-20 player. While this production does feel unsustainable, managers could be best served simply staying put to see what eventuates.

Active Monday Lopez (illness) will start during Monday's contest against the Pistons.
Impact After being considered a game-time decision, Lopez will be active for Monday's contest against Detroit. Lopez is having a strong start to the season, averaging 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 3.6 blocks per game over his first five appearances.

Considered game-time decision Lopez (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lopez was listed as probable for Monday's game due to a non-COVID illness, but the team will need to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his status. If he's unavailable, Bobby Portis and Serge Ibaka should see additional run.

Probable Monday Lopez is probable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to a non-COVID illness.
Impact Although Lopez is feeling under the weather prior to Monday's matchup, it seems likely that he'll be able to suit up. He's coming off a performance in which he posted a season-high 21 points in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over Atlanta.

Drains five treys Saturday Lopez supplied 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Lopez has been one of the most surprising big men in the opening two weeks of the season, and while he's always been known as an offensive threat with an elite outside touch, he's adding defensive proficiency this year. Lopez has registered two or more blocks in each of his five games this season to go along with his two outings in which he's scored more than 15 points. He's averaging 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per tilt in 2022-23.

Blocks six shots in win Lopez supplied seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and six blocks in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 victory over the Nets.
Impact Lopez struggled from the field Wednesday but made up for it on the defensive end with six blocked shots. Five of his seven points came in the first quarter but he managed just one more basket in six attempts the rest of the way. He has blocked 11 shots in the last two contests and is averaging 4.3 blocks through the season's first three contests.

Swats five shots in victory Lopez logged nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, five blocks and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 win over the Rockets.
Impact Lopez drained three triples but was otherwise quiet on the offensive end. However, he came up big as a defender, rejecting five of Houston's shots and notching two thefts. Lopez has a unique skill set at center -- he can rack up plenty of blocks and is a nice source of triples from the position but puts up the rebound numbers of a small forward.

Posts 17 points in opener Lopez contributed 17 points (6-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 31 minutes during Thursday's 90-88 victory over the 76ers.
Impact Lopez was productive in the first three quarters, scoring 16 points and making six of his 12 shots. While he missed all four of his fourth-quarter field-goal attempts, he hit a critical free throw with 1.9 seconds left to put Milwaukee up by two points. A back injury last season limited him to just 13 games in the regular season, but he appears to be healthy and played in four preseason contests for the Bucks. The 34-year-old is still a capable offensive player and should play an important role for Milwaukee if he's able to remain healthy.
