Strong game Saturday Lopez amassed 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes during Saturday's 123-97 victory over Utah. Impact Lopez was coming off an ugly performance against the Grizzlies with just four points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across 18 minutes Thursday, but he bounced back admirably and was active on both ends of the court, registering multiple blocks and attacking the glass while also delivering his best scoring output since Nov. 23. Despite the solid outing here, Lopez is expected to see his offensive numbers regress when sharing the court with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (knee), who both sat out Saturday.
