Game-high 28 points in loss Lopez recorded 28 points (12-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Lopez dominated the paint against the Celtics, finishing with a game- and season-high 28 points. It was the veteran's first outing of the campaign with at least 20 points, and he's blocked one or more shots in 12 of his last 13 matchups. During that stretch, Lopez has averaged 11.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 1.1 assists in 29.2 minutes per game.

Six rejections in Charlotte Lopez chipped in 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and six blocks over 33 minutes during Friday's 130-99 win over the Hornets.

Impact The 15 points were a season high for the veteran center, but the six blocks weren't even Lopez's best performance of the week on the defensive end as he piled up seven rejections against the Raptors on Wednesday. Through 12 games, Lopez's scoring is way down (10.1 points a game on 44.2 percent field-goal shooting) as Damian Lillard adjusts to his new teammates, but he's compensated with an increased focus on rim protection that has him averaging a career-high 2.9 blocks a night.

Dominates on both ends in win Lopez contributed 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, seven blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 victory over the Raptors...

Impact Lopez impressed on both ends of the court in a winning effort, leading all Bucks players in rebounds and blocks while finishing as one of six players with a double-digit point total. Lopez has recorded seven or more blocks in two games this season, recording at least three blocks in five contests. Lopez has also posted at least 10 points and five rebounds in five outings this year.

Fails to make mark in loss Lopez recorded four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 129-125 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Lopez tied his season high with seven rebounds, but the rest of his production was muted. It was doubly disappointing given he blocked eight shots and drilled four three-pointers during Friday's narrow win over the Knicks, suggesting he'd broken out of an early-season slump. The addition of Damian Lillard has impacted every player on the Bucks, but Lopez should have brighter nights ahead, especially when his new-look squad starts to find a rhythm.

Swats eight shots Friday Lopez recorded 13 points (4-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), eight blocks, five rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes in Friday's 110-105 win over the Knicks.

Impact Though Lopez had gotten off to a slow start to the 2023-24 campaign and is now shooting just 40 percent from the field after Friday's game, fantasy managers can't complain too much after he posted huge numbers in the blocks and three-pointers categories. He had swatted just two shots through the Bucks' first four games, but after turning away eight shots Friday, he's now averaging 2.0 per game on the campaign.

Hits three triples in win Lopez chipped in 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and two rebounds over 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 win over the 76ers.

Impact Lopez had his three-point stroke working in the Bucks' regular-season opener but failed to contribute outside of the scoring column. The veteran big man averaged 6.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game en route to finishing as a top-20 overall fantasy contributor in leagues with eight-category settings, so his lack of all-around production is a bit concerning. However, it's just one game, and the Bucks were clearly trying to acclimate recently-acquired Damian Lillard to the mix, so greener pastures should be in Lopez's future.

His block average was a career high, and he ended up second in Defensive Player of the Year voting. He projects to again be a valuable piece for the Bucks in the upcoming season.
