Lopez posted 16 points (8-9 FG), one rebound and one assist over 17 minutes during Saturday's 108-92 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Lopez tied for the team lead with 16 points despite logging only 17 minutes in the loss. The veteran center pulled down only one rebound, however, and he didn't notch any defensive stats. Lopez has started each of Orlando's last three contests, averaging 14.0 points, 5.0 boards and 1.7 assists over that stretch.

Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Tuesday that Lopez (conditioning) will be available for Wednesday's contest against the Wizards, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lopez cleared protocols Sunday, but he remained sidelined due to conditioning concerns. Mosley said the veteran center went through practice Tuesday and will likely return to his usual reserve role behind Mo Bamba on Wednesday.

Lopez (conditioning) will not be available for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Lopez has cleared protocols, but the team will hold him out Sunday for conditioning purposes. Orlando is off Monday and Tuesday, so Lopez should be able to return to the mix Wednesday at Washington.

Lopez has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Bucks after landing in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to a wave of COVID-19-related absences and injuries within the organization, Lopez had seen elevated playing time of late, logging at least 20 minutes while starting in four of the past six games. Lopez now becomes the second Magic player to enter the protocols over the past three days, as point guard Hassani Gravett was pulled midway through Tuesday's loss to the Bucks after he was revealed to have tested positive for the virus. Mo Bamba could be ready to clear the health and safety protocols to play in Thursday's rematch with the Bucks, but if not, Wendell Carter could shift over from power forward and handle most of the minutes at center.

Lopez registered nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Lopez has been in and out of the starting five with Mo Bamba (COVID-19) sidelined of late, and this marked his fourth start in the last six games. While he had big games against Miami, Brooklyn and Atlanta last week -- 16.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.0 blocks over the three games -- Lopez couldn't provide much fantasy value this time around, and the four turnovers particularly hurt managers in nine-category leagues. Lopez could start another game or two if Bamba remains out, but he's a low-end streaming option at best.

Lopez will start in the frontcourt next to Wendell Carter for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Lopez has played just 16 total minutes over the past two games, but he'll be in the starting lineup against his former team. In his four starts this season, he's averaged 15.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 33.3 minutes.

Lopez will come off the bench Thursday against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
With Wendell Carter returning to the lineup, Lopez will resume a bench role. He should continue seeing regular minutes as long as Mo Bamba (COVID-19 protocols) remains sidelined.

Lopez registered 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 104-98 victory over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Lopez achieved a double-double with efficient scoring and some highlight-worthy dime dropping. Wednesday marked a career-best 11 assists for the 33-year-old. Lopez is a solid streaming option Thursday against the Pelicans.
