Lopez (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez missed Monday's loss to the Thunder with a back issue but will return to the floor Wednesday for the Bucks to take on the Hornets in Charlotte. The veteran big man is averaging 12.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.0 blocks per game for Milwaukee, shooting 47.5 percent from the floor and 36.5 percent from deep.

Lopez (back) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez was previously carrying a probable tag for Wednesday after missing Monday's game against the Thunder, so this is a bad sign for his fantasy managers. If Lopez is unable to go, Bobby Portis is expected to return from a personal absence and could see extended minutes at center.

Lopez (back) is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez was held out of Monday's game versus the Thunder on the second leg of the back-to-back set, along with most of Milwaukee's key players. With Lopez expected back, Chris Livingston will likely shift to the bench after producing 10 points, six rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes of his fill-in start.

Lopez (back) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez will join the rest of Milwaukee's starters on the sidelines Monday on the second leg of the team's back-to-back. Since Bobby Portis (personal) also remains out against Oklahoma City, the Bucks appear likely to be forced into handing big minutes to the likes of Taurean Prince, Tyler Smith and Chris Livingston.

Lopez is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to back soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez and Damian Lillard (groin) were added later to the Bucks' injury report, which initially dropped with Khris Middleton (ankles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) being ruled out and Bobby Portis (personal) being doubtful. It looks as though all of Milwaukee's key players could be sidelined Monday.

Lopez (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez popped up on Saturday's report due to a back injury, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday night's bout. He's averaged 11.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.1 blocks over 32.7 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Lopez (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez hasn't missed a game all season for the Bucks but showed up on the team's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Memphis. The veteran big man is averaging 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.0 blocks per game, shooting 47.7 percent from the floor and 36.3 percent from deep.

Lopez chipped in 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three blocks and one assist over 41 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez led the Bucks with a game-high mark in swats, recording his 26th outing with multiple blocks this season. The veteran also set a new season-high mark in playing time, though he struggled a bit with efficiency in the loss. The big man has dominated on the defensive end of late, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.4 assists across 35.4 minutes per contest.

Lopez recorded 13 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and five blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-93 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

The five rejections were Lopez's best performance at the rim since Nov. 13, and he fell one short of the season-high six he collected Opening Night against the Sixers. The veteran center has blocked multiple shots in eight of the last 15 games, averaging 14.4 points, 4.3 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.6 blocks over that stretch while shooting 52.2 percent from the floor.

Lopez notched 22 points (8-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs couldn't find a way to slow Lopez down, and the big man tied his season-high mark for threes made in a single game. The veteran reached the 20-point mark for the seventh time this season, and it's becoming easier to trust him on a game-to-game basis, as he's reached that tally four times since Christmas.
