Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (rest) won't play on Sunday against Detroit. These clubs met on Friday night, with Lopez finishing with 15 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks. However, Milwaukee is heading into the playoffs having already secured the No. 5 seed, so most of the team's core performers, including Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder), also aren't anticipated to suit up. But as far as the middle is concerned, Kyle Kuzma (ankle), who is probable, might spend the bulk of his time at the five. Pete Nance, Chris Livingston, and Tyler Smith are also in line to see plenty of work.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (shoulder) will play on Monday versus the Warriors. The veteran didn't suit up for the February 3 loss to OKC, his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But despite appearing on the injury report ahead of Milwaukee's previous three games, Lopez has been out there. That trend will continue on Monday against Golden State. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out of commission for a few weeks, Lopez might see a bump in production, which could last until The Greek Freak is back on the floor.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (knee) will play on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Lopez recently missed one game due to a back issue and is currently nursing a knee contusion. However, the ailment will not keep him off the court Friday night, as the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Lopez has averaged 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks across two prior matchups against the Hawks this campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will play against the Hornets. The veteran missed his first game of the 2024-25 campaign on Monday versus OKC due to back soreness. But the Bucks also didn't have Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Bobby Portis (personal), and Damian Lillard (groin). However, with Lopez, Antetokounmpo, Portis, and Lillard all available, guys like Chris Livingston, Ryan Rollins, AJ Johnson, and Tyler Smith can be removed from fantasy lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Despite dealing with a back issue, Lopez put in a 32-minute shift against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. However, he will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (groin), Khris Middleton (ankle), and Bobby Portis (personal) on the sidelines against the Thunder. With so many regulars out of the lineup, the rest of the team will have a massive role to play in Monday's contest.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) is considered questionable on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder while he's suffering from back soreness. The veteran big man would be in line for a lot of minutes if he does play because Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out while Bobby Portis (personal) is tagged as doubtful. If Lopez doesn't suit up, however, Taurean Prince should see a lot of opportunities on the boards while MarJon Beauchamp could see some minutes. Prince would be the better streaming option regardless of league format as he averages 7.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. The veteran big man is dealing with back soreness. However, Milwaukee has upgraded Lopez from probable to available, keeping his ironman streak alive. It's been close to 12 months since the last time Lopez wasn't in the Bucks lineup. The 36-year-old will aim to produce a bounce-back performance on Sunday. He missed all three attempts from deep and settled for only six points in Friday's 144-118 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (quad) is dealing with a quad contusion but it doesn't seem to be severe enough to cause him to miss some time. Lopez is listed as probable for the Friday night matchup with the Chicago Bulls on the official injury report. The big man delivered a quality all-around game outside of low efficiency on Wednesday when he registered 10 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and four blocks. He shoots almost 50% from the floor throughout his career so he should return to that norm against the Bulls.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez could find himself on a new team for the 2024-25 campaign. While it's unknown if the Bucks have engaged in official trade discussions with other clubs around the National Basketball Association, Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com reported that Milwaukee is "open to reshaping their roster" and is "gauging" Lopez's value. Despite his age, the 36-year-old is still productive, finishing his most recent season by averaging 12.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks while shooting 36.6% from behind the arc. He's also appeared in 157 games in the last two seasons. Without question, Lopez will draw attention from teams looking for an upgrade underneath the rim. But regardless of where he ends up moving ahead, he could have at least one more quality season for fantasy managers.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (rest) will be available to play in Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 36-year-old appeared as questionable on the injury report earlier but has now been cleared to take the court. He has scored in double figures in five straight games and will likely have more opportunities to score in this match-up since the Bucks will be without Damian Lillard (adductor) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). Lopez has also been busy on the defensive end, recording at least two blocks in each of his previous four games.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
