Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will not play in Friday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets.
Lopez will not be available for the second game of Milwaukee's back-to-back with back soreness. Expect Bobby Portis to play more minutes in an underrated matchup against a Charlotte unit ranked 17th in defensive efficiency.
Portis' Friday projection includes 16.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
