Robin Lopez Agrees To Be Brother’s Backup
6 years agoFree agent center Robin Lopez is heading to the Milwaukee Bucks, where he’ll serve as brother Brook’s primary backup. Lopez isn’t the player his brother is at this point, mainly due to the way he hasn’t adapted his offensive game to the modern NBA like Brook has, but he’s capable of putting up 10 points and five rebounds if he gets enough minutes. Lopez’s addition to the Bucks helps them out a lot more than it helps out fantasy owners, though, and as he moves to the bench full-time for the first time since the 2011-2012 season, his value appears to be at an all time low.

Robin Lopez Unavailable On Monday
2 years agoCleveland 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.

Robin Lopez Enters COVID-19 Protocols
3 years agoOrlando 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.

Robin Lopez To Start On Tuesday
3 years agoOrlando 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.

Robin Lopez Records A Double-Double With Assists
3 years agoOrlando 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.
