Lopez logged three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes in Tuesday's 98-79 loss to the Warriors.
Despite playing a season-high 19 minutes, Lopez turned in his worst performance of the season. The big man has chipped in fewer than seven points in three consecutive games, during which he has shot just 31.3 percent from the field. The veteran center should continue serving as Ivica Zubac's primary backup and will look to bounce back in Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Clippers' Brook Lopez: Sinks five triples
Rotowire
Lopez finished Wednesday's 129-108 loss to the Jazz with 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes.
The Clippers had an embarrassing team performance, but Lopez's debut with his new squad went well. The seven-footer attempted only one shot inside the arc, a trend that'll likely continue as he's utilized as a floor-spacing big to help create room for James Harden to operate.

Clippers' Brook Lopez: Posts 16 points from bench
Rotowire
Lopez logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 109-91 preseason win over the Kings.
Lopez should be the big man coming out with the second unit, and Ivica Zubac is unlikely to yield many first-unit minutes to his teammates. Since Lopez has a serviceable midrange game and can stretch the floor with apt perimeter shooting, it's possible that he could share the court with Zubac on occasion when John Collins takes a seat.

Clippers' Brook Lopez: Pops for 15 points off bench
Rotowire
Lopez scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt) while adding three blocks, a rebound and an assist in 17 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 102-94 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
The veteran center appears to be nearly in midseason form as he supplied his usual strong production at the rim and from beyond the arc. Lopez will back up Ivica Zubac in the Clippers' frontcourt this season, which means he's highly unlikely to see the 30-plus minutes a game he grew used to getting in Milwaukee, but a shift to the second unit should allow the 37-year-old to prolong his career while still being effective on a per-minute basis.

Clippers' Brook Lopez: Joining LAC
Rotowire
Lopez agreed to a two-year, $18 million contract with the Clippers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Lopez's seven-year stint in Milwaukee officially comes to a close, as he has inked a contract with the Clippers on the first day of free agency. The 37-year-old started in all of his 80 regular-season appearances with the Bucks in 2024-25, averaging 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks across 31.8 minutes. However, he averaged just 15.0 minutes per game in the playoffs. Lopez will serve as Ivica Zubac's primary backup, but if rookie first-rounder Yanic Niederhauser progresses well, Lopez could face some competition for playing time.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Limited to eight minutes
Rotowire
Lopez accumulated two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across eight minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Lopez, who was averaging 16.8 minutes in this series prior to Tuesday, was predictably benched in favor of Bobby Portis with coach Doc Rivers making several rotation tweaks. Although he had a brutal postseason, Lopez was one of Milwaukee's most reliable players in the regular season, averaging 13.0 points on 50.9 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 blocks over 31.8 minutes per game. The 37-year-old center will hit the free agent market this offseason and could potentially find a new home outside of Milwaukee.

Rotowire
Lopez logged eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and four blocks in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After playing a key role in the regular season with 31.8 minutes per game, Lopez's workload in the playoffs has tanked. Through the opening two games, the veteran center is averaging 18.5 minutes per night with 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. With the Bucks staring at a 2-0 deficit, it will be interesting to see what coach Doc Rivers tweaks going forward.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Scores 15, grabs seven boards
Rotowire
Lopez closed with 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 25 minutes during Friday's 125-119 win over Detroit.
Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the show with another triple-double, his fourth over his last five games, but Lopez also delivered solid value on both ends of the court, particularly as a rebounder and rim protector. The veteran big man figures to play a huge role for the Bucks in the playoffs, and with one game left in the regular season, he's averaging 13.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Held in check

Lopez posted three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block over 23 minutes during Thursday's 136-111 victory over the Pelicans.
Milwaukee didn't give full workloads to their key players, and it will be interesting to see how the team handles the second leg of their back-to-back set Friday. Overall, Lopez has had a tremendous campaign, posting fifth-round value in nine-category formats with 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Records double-double
Rotowire
Lopez closed Sunday's 111-107 win over New Orleans with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 34 minutes.
Lopez recorded his first double-double since March 24, and the big man has now scored at least 20 points in four of his previous six appearances. The big man has established himself as one of the Bucks' go-to scoring options, and if both Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) and Damian Lillard (calf) miss more games before the end of the regular season, that could translate to Lopez experiencing a bigger upside in his fantasy stock.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Scores 17 points in win
Rotowire
Lopez amassed 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 overtime victory over Miami.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter led the way for the Bucks in this overtime win, but Lopez made his presence felt as well. However, it's worth noting he had a difficult matchup against Bam Adebayo. Lopez continues to find ways to make an impact on offense, even when he's not at his best. This was his third straight game with 17 or more points.

Lopez racked up 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 31 minutes during Thursday's 126-113 victory over Philadelphia.
Lopez was coming off a 22-point, six-rebound, six-assist performance against the Suns on Tuesday, and he delivered another impressive outing, although it was Giannis Antetokounmpo with his historic stat line who stole the show and carried Milwaukee to a 13-point win. Lopez is ending the season on a productive note and has scored in double digits in seven of his last nine outings, averaging 16.4 points per game and shooting 62.9 percent from the floor in that span.

Rotowire
Lopez notched 22 points (10-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 133-123 win over the Suns.
Lopez was coming off two subpar showings, racking up 12 points and six rebounds combined in the losses to New York and Atlanta, but he bounced back admirably here and was one of the standout performers for a Bucks team that got back to winning ways. For the most part, Lopez has been productive as a two-way presence for the Bucks. He's scored in double digits in nine of his last 12 appearances, averaging 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in that span.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Shines despite loss to Denver
Rotowire
Lopez had 26 points (12-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 127-117 loss to Denver.
The Bucks were without their top two offensive players in Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) and Damian Lillard (calf), so they had to rely more on Lopez to provide scoring. The big man stepped up and delivered an excellent showing, however, missing just five of his 17 shots from the field and surpassing the 25-point plateau just for the third time this season. Lopez scored over 20 points in five of his last nine contests.
