Cleveland Cavaliers center
Robin Lopez (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Cavs will rest their veteran big man here. His absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation. The expectation is that
Jarrett Allen and
Evan Mobley will have a few more minutes on Monday. Lopez should be back in the rotation for their next contest.

Orlando Magic center
Robin Lopez has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols and won't suit up against the Bucks. Orlando is short-handed as it is, so losing another body certainly isn't ideal. Nonetheless,
Wendell Carter Jr. should handle most of the minutes in the middle on Thursday night, with
Moritz Wagner potentially in line to get more work.

Orlando Magic center
Robin Lopez will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has played 16 minutes over the last two games. Although, Lopez is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in four starts this season. That being said, Lopez sounds like he'll be a solid low cost DFS option for Tuesday's slate. The fact he's starting alongside
Wendell Carter Jr. could potentially hurt his value. Despite that, Lopez should be rostered in the short term while the Magic are banged up.

Orlando Magic center
Robin Lopez produced another strong effort on Wednesday, compiling a double-double with 10 points and a career-high 11 assists in a 104-98 win over Atlanta. He added five rebounds, one steal and one block to his tally with one turnover, shooting 5-for-10 from the field. Lopez is filling in for
Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) and has averaged 12 points, 7.3 rebounds, six assists and one block across the last three games. Carter Jr. was listed questionable for Wednesday and he'll hope to return again on Thursday against New Orleans, but if he doesn't, then Lopez will remain a good fantasy option.
