With Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined, Green will fill the void in the starting lineup. An effective perimeter shooter, the role change allows Green to do more regarding playmaking. Look for Delon Wright to play rotation minutes off the bench due to the lack of a true point guard.
Lopez has been going through a bit of a rough patch recently, but after finding his shot against the Hawks, he was able to keep it going in this game. Unfortunately, this was their last game in Las Vegas this season, and this one didn't even count for fantasy basketball. They'll have a couple days off to celebrate before starting a back-to-back in Cleveland on Friday. This will be their first game against the Cavs since they played two straight games against them in early November. Cleveland won both of those, with Lopez averaging 9.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 threes in their matchups.
Lopez ended two separate dry spells during Saturday's NBA Cup semifinal, much to the delight of fantasy managers. In addition to blocking two shots after three straight games without one, the veteran center reached double figures in points for the first time since November 30. With decreased production in those categories, Lopez is ranked outside the top 200 over the past two weeks. He'll look to build on Saturday's effort when the Bucks play in Tuesday's NBA Cup final.
Lopez had an interesting Saturday night. The points, 3-pointers, and blocked shots were there, but the 7-footer failed to grab a rebound. Lopez hasn't been an elite rebounder for most of his NBA career, but the fantasy value remains high due to his production in other areas. He's ranked just outside the top 25 in 9-cat formats, well ahead of his Yahoo ADP (80).
