The veteran center collected his 11th double-double of the season, with four of them coming in his last nine games. Lopez has also recorded at least one block in 12 straight contests, averaging 3.3 rejections a game over that stretch.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Blocks seven shots versus Jazz
Rotowire
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.
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.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Erupts for 26 points in win
Rotowire
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.
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.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Ruled out Thursday
Rotowire
Lopez (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Lopez has posted a double-double in two of his last four appearances, averaging 21.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 4.5 blocks in 36.3 minutes per game. However, he'll sit due to his sore left ankle Thursday, which should lead to increased playing time for Bobby Portis.

Lopez has posted double-doubles in two of his last four appearances and has averaged 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds in 36.3 minutes per game during that time. If he's sidelined against Indiana, Bobby Portis should see increased run.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Double-doubles in victory
Rotowire
Lopez finished Tuesday's 116-104 win over Phoenix with 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 34 minutes.
Lopez avoided a suspension for his dustup with Trey Lyles that led to both players' ejections Monday in the Bucks' win over the Kings, and the Milwaukee center was able to come through with an excellent line in the second leg of the back-to-back set. The 34-year-old has put together a productive March thus far, averaging 21.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.1 blocks and 2.4 treys while shooting 58.1 percent from the field over eight games on the month.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Tossed late in fourth quarter
Rotowire
Lopez was ejected from Monday's game against the Kings after being assessed a fighting foul, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. He recorded 23 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 37 minutes.
Lopez and Trey Lyles were in the middle of a scuffle following a hard foul on Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the game was already well in hand at this point. Lopez continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court and has scored 20-plus points in three of his last four contests while also swatting away at least three shots in each of these matchups.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Another big defensive effort
Rotowire
Lopez ended with 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five blocks, one assist and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) missing his third straight game, the Bucks put together a balanced attack that featured seven players with double-digit scoring. Lopez tied for the team lead with 19 points, but his best work was again on the defensive end of the court, where he swatted five shots. That followed a nine-block effort his last time out, and Lopez has now swatted at least three shots in four straight games. He's been thriving for nearly a month, averaging 21.3 points, 7.5 boards, 2.1 three-pointers and 3.1 blocks over his past 10 contests.

Lopez came up one block short of posting what would've been the first triple-double with points, rebounds and blocks since Anthony Davis accomplished that feat in 2018. The big man continues to have an excellent season and is averaging 15.2 points, his highest mark since the 2016-17 campaign, with 6.6 rebounds and a career-high 2.5 blocks per contest. Lopez is also on a run of nine straight games with double-digit scoring figures, a span in which he's averaged 21.6 points per game.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Offensive explosion Thursday
Rotowire
Lopez finished Thursday's 112-100 win over the Bulls with 33 points (13-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four blocks across 33 minutes.
Lopez erupted for a game-high 33 points in the win, having his way against a lackluster defensive unit. Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) was unable to finish the game, so Lopez took it upon himself to dominate the paint. His offensive production has been up and down over the past two weeks, as he has alternated good and bad games on a consistent basis. However, his blocks remain a reliable part of his overall game, ensuring must-roster status across all formats.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Limited by foul trouble
Rotowire
Lopez accumulated four points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime victory over the Celtics.
Lopez was limited due to foul trouble in the first half and wasn't all that effective even when he was on the floor. Over his last seven appearances, the veteran big man has struggled with consistency on offense, notching two 20-plus-point outings but failing to score in double figures in the other five contests. Despite the inconsistent scoring, Lopez was still able to generate fantasy production by racking up rebounds and blocks, but those were hard to come by against Boston. For now, Tuesday's poor performance can likely be attributed to an off-night marred by foul trouble, but it'd be nice to see Lopez bounce back in a big way Thursday against Chicago, which is Milwaukee's final game before the All-Star break.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Grabs game-high 15 boards
Rotowire
Lopez closed with 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 15 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 119-106 victory over the Clippers.
Lopez really got going in the second quarter, knocking down six of nine shot attempts for 14 points to go along with seven rebounds. However, the big man took only three more shots in the second half, all of which came from beyond the arc, before finishing second on the team with 22 points. Lopez added a game-high 15 boards on the night to notch his fifth double-double of the season, and he's now grabbed double-digit rebounds in back-to-back games. He's also broken the 20-point mark in two of his last three, shooting 63.6 percent from the field over that stretch.
Lopez ended with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 33 minutes during Thursday's 115-106 victory over the Lakers.
Lopez was battling an illness leading up to the contest, but that didn't stop him from playing 33 minutes. The big man didn't come close to the 27 points he scored his previous time out, but he was still a big factor with 10 boards and three blocked shots. This was the eighth time on the campaign that Lopez has notched double-digit boards -- he didn't corral more than seven boards in any of his 12 regular-season contests during an injury-plagued season last year.
