Blocks seven shots versus Jazz Lopez totaled 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two assists and seven blocks over 26 minutes during Friday's 144-116 victory over the Jazz.

Impact This was the third-highest rebounding total for Lopez this season, and it was also his second-highest block total of the campaign. The Bucks took care of business early in Friday's game, so Lopez saw only 26 minutes. That means he should be relatively fresh for the second leg of their back-to-back set Saturday against Denver.

Erupts for 26 points in win Lopez finished with 26 points (9-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes in Sunday's 118-111 win over the Raptors.

Impact On a night in which Milwaukee had all of its regular starters available, Lopez finished as the Bucks' surprise scoring leader, inching out both Giannis Antetokounmpo (22 points) and Khris Middleton (20 points). Even though Lopez has been on somewhat of an offensive spree to begin March -- he's averaging 22.0 points on 58.3 percent shooting from the field and 42.6 percent from three-point range through nine outings -- the veteran center will likely settle into more of a secondary role behind Antetokounmpo, Middleton and perhaps even Jrue Holiday once his red-hot efficiency inevitably drops off a bit. Even if his offensive production cools, Lopez should still be a useful lineup option for fantasy managers thanks to his immense production as a shot blocker.
