Tue Feb 620:23Brook Lopez Remains Out On Tuesday Night
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) won't play on Tuesday against Phoenix. The veteran has been dealing with a personal matter, keeping him off the floor for the last two games. His next chance to suit up will be Thursday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, until Lopez is back in the lineup, Bobby Portis, coming off a 27-point, seven-rebound, three-steal performance on Sunday against Utah, will be a popular DFS option.

Mon Feb 520:26Brook Lopez Uncertain For Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran big man has missed each of the last two games due to personal reasons. His absence has given Bobby Portis and Jae Crowder additional playing time in the rotation. Khris Middleton is expected to play on Tuesday, which means less of a role for Crowder. However, Portis should remain involved especially if Lopez is unable to play. That being said, Portis should be a viable streaming option, assuming Lopez misses another game.

Sun Feb 415:56Brook Lopez Remains Out Against Utah
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) remains out on Sunday against the Utah Jazz. Lopez didn't suit up on Saturday versus the Dallas Mavericks, allowing Robin Lopez to take his spot in the starting lineup. However, Bobby Portis, who had a double-double in 31 minutes, is the one who should benefit the most. With Damian Lillard (ankle) questionable and Khris Middleton resting, there could also be room for Malik Beasley and Jae Crowder to get involved enough to make a difference for fantasy managers.

Sat Feb 320:17Brook Lopez Ruled Out For Saturday
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran big man will miss this game due to personal reasons. Hopefully, everything is okay with Lopez and this will be a one-game absence. In the meantime, Robin Lopez will draw the start during Saturday's game. He doesn't have much upside outside of rebounding. Bobby Portis is the much better streaming option for Saturday's slate.

Fri Jun 30 202313:20Rockets Planning To Meet With Brook Lopez
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez has been reported as a target for the Rockets in free agency since the offseason started. According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the two parties are planning to meet at the start of free agency along with Dillon Brooks in Los Angeles. Alperen Sengun is still the starting center as of right now, so the addition of Lopez seems like it'll be their backup option along with some veteran presence for the young bigs to learn from. Lopez is fresh off of one of his best seasons since playing for Brooklyn as he was in the running for Defensive Player of the Year. His fantasy value might take a bit of a hit as he would likely slot into a bench role.

Tue Jun 6 202321:03Rockets Targeting Brook Lopez
According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com, the Rockets are expected to target free-agent center Brook Lopez. The 35-year-old was still a reliable fantasy contributor last season, averaging 15.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks. He also shot a career-high 37.4% from deep and appeared in 78 games, his most since 2018-19. That said, if Lopez signs with Houston, his production will likely drop, considering the team has Alperen Sengun in the middle. But with the Bucks strapped for cash and looking to retain Khris Middleton, Milwaukee may be unable to afford to bring Lopez back.

Tue May 16 202311:41Milwaukee Wants To Keep Brook Lopez And Khris Middleton
The Milwaukee Bucks want to keep ahold of forward Khris Middleton and center Brook Lopez, with general manager Jon Horst rating both players very highly. "It's pretty clear, Khris and Brook are core to what we've done," Horst said to The Athletic. Middleton has a $40.4 million player option for next season, which he is expected to decline, while Lopez is an unrestricted free agent. The two helped the Bucks to the best record in the league this season, although Middleton was able to play in just 33 games due to health issues.

Thu May 11 202321:28Brook Lopez Wants To Remain With Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez has spent each of the last five seasons with the organization. Recently, the veteran big man said he has enjoyed his time in Milwaukee and would like to remain with the team. Lopez stepped up and put together arguably his best season in Milwaukee during the 2022-2023 campaign. He averaged 15.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 78 games this past season. The 35-year-old has been an important piece of the rotation. It sounds like there is mutual interest between the two, but we'll see what happens this offseason.

Tue Apr 25 202309:45Brook Lopez On Fire In Game 4 With 36 Points
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez had a playoff career-high 36 points in Monday's Game 4 defeat to the Heat. The big guy dropped four three-point bombs on Miami on seven attempts and shot 13-for-23 overall from the field. Lopez also came alive on the glass, racking up 11 boards after managing the same amount of rebounds in the previous three games combined. As usual, he also did his part on defense, swatting away three shots and picking up two steals. Lopez's performances have been very inconsistent in these playoffs, but the team will need to get another good line out of him on Wednesday as the Bucks face elimination.

Thu Apr 20 202311:20Brook Lopez Leads The Bucks In Scoring In Game 2
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez provided a big-time offensive boost in Game 2 to help the team take a 16-point victory over the Miami Heat. The Defensive Player of the Year candidate finished the game with 25 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block on 12-for-17 shooting. His defense is going to be a huge necessity to win on the road, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) missing some time, his offensive arsenal is also needed. Look for the big man to flash his range more often in this series.

Sun Mar 19 202316:18Brook Lopez Expected To Play On Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (ankle) is expected to return from a one-game absence on Sunday versus the visiting Raptors. He's listed as probable because of left ankle soreness.

Thu Mar 16 202318:44Brook Lopez To Miss Thursday's Game
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The big man was questionable heading into this contest, but will end up sitting out due to left ankle soreness. The Bucks are going to be shorthanded with Jae Crowder (calf) also on the sideline. That means, Bobby Portis is going to be asked to carry a heavier workload. He'll be a strong streaming option with the Bucks being without two of their big guys. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire to see if Portis is available.

Thu Mar 16 202314:58Brook Lopez Questionable For Thursday's Contest
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Bucks. He's battling left ankle soreness and could be unavailable for only the second time this season. It's been a very impressive campaign from Lopez, and he's even become a serious offensive threat in recent times, posting 20-plus points four times in the last five games. Bobby Portis should move to the starting unit Thursday if Lopez ends up being unavailable. He has made 18 total starts so far in 2022-23, averaging 16.8 points with 10.9 rebounds.

Sun Feb 26 202321:49Brook Lopez Posts Big Two-Way Game In Win
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez was the biggest force on the boards and defensive end for the team during a three-point win over the Phoenix Suns. He finished the game with 22 points, 13 rebounds, and four blocks while shooting 9-for-17 from the floor and 2-for-8 from three. While the Splash Mountain didn't splash too many shots from deep, his numbers on the glass and defensive end were important in many ways for the Bucks. Any time Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad) misses a game, Lopez's fantasy value goes way up as the primary shot blocker and rebounder on the team.

Fri Feb 17 202311:02Brook Lopez Drops 33 Points On Chicago
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez put up a season-high during a 112-100 win over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night. The 34-year-old finished with 33 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and four blocks on 13-for-18 shooting overall and 3-for-6 from deep. Lopez has been one of the best centers for both rebounds and threes in fantasy basketball. He's currently ranked in the top 30 for per-game value in nine-category formats and has been one of the best centers in points leagues on top of it.

Tue Feb 7 202309:27Brook Lopez Leads Bucks In Scoring Monday
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez shot 9-for-12 from the field and became the team's top scorer with 29 points in Monday's 127-108 road victory over Portland. Giannis Antetokounmpo battled foul trouble and finished with 24 points in 23 minutes while Jrue Holiday contributed 20 points. Lopez finished 2-for-5 from outside and shot 7-for-8 at the charity stripe. He missed a double-double by one rebound and completed his line with one steal in 32 minutes. With Portland having the worst defensive record in the league against centers, this was a superb matchup for the big guy, and Lopez could stand out again Thursday against the Lakers, who have allowed centers to shoot 60.8 percent against them this season while giving up a league-high 17.0 rebounds per 48 minutes to the position.

Tue Jan 3 202322:41Brook Lopez Tallies Six Blocks Versus Wizards
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez had a double-double in the win over the Washington Wizards. While the veteran's 21-point, 12-rebound effort was impressive, he totaled six blocks on the night. Lopez has had a fantastic 2022-23 campaign. Not only has he been healthy, but he's also averaged 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and a career-high 2.6 blocks per game. The 34-year-old continues to get it done, so fantasy managers should keep him in the starting lineup whenever possible.

Mon Dec 5 202218:24Brook Lopez Ruled Out For Monday
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (rest) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran big man will sit out after playing in both games of the back-to-back set over the weekend. His absence means Bobby Portis moves into the starting five and gets an uptick in usage and playing time. Portis should already be rostered in most formats, but if he's available then he'd be a great streaming option for Monday's slate.

Thu Nov 10 202209:48Brook Lopez Posts Double-Double Versus Thunder
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez had a great game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. The veteran big man registered 24 points, 13 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and five blocks on 11-for-23 shooting overall. In a game where Giannis Antetokounmpo was out, Lopez will get many more opportunities on both ends of the floor. His three-point shot opens up his post game and then there are more blocks and rebounds to go around. Whether the Bucks are at full strength or not, Lopez should be rostered in all types of leagues and formats.

Sun May 15 202219:18Brook Lopez Goes Cold From Deep On Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez had a double-double during the Game 7 loss to Boston by finishing with 15 points and 10 rebounds. He also got after it defensively by compiling three blocks on the afternoon. He did have a rough time shooting the ball, though, primarily from deep, by draining just one of his six tries. Still, to be fair, nobody on the team did much better on Sunday. Nonetheless, the 34-year-old, who missed most of the year because of back surgery, put in plenty of effort during the series. Hopefully, with some time off to rest, Lopez will remain on the floor next season. However, with his best days likely behind him, he'll probably continue to be a hit-or-miss fantasy option in all formats.
