Brook Lopez pours in 27 points in Lakers' loss to Portland
Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez scored 27 points on 9-of-15 field goal attempts and 1-of-4 3-pointers with 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block in 29 minutes against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
What It Means:
Lopez had seen his playing time drop to 20.5 minutes per game over the last five, but he responded with season-highs both in points and free throws, as the big man went 8-for-9 at the line. With Larry Nance (hand) out indefinitely, Lopez should see another busy workload tonight against the Brooklyn Nets and beyond.
numberFire's models project Lopez to score 29.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,200 in 25.0 minutes tonight with 16.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 0.9 3-pointers versus the Nets.
