Monty Williams wants Robin Lopez to improve defensively during the offseason.
"Defensively, I would like for him to be a force around the basket, blocking more shots and rebounding more," Williams said. "Defensively, I think he's got to become more of a force for us around the basket. I think he's more than capable athletically to do that." Lopez made some nice strides this season in his first full year as a starting center and should be solid again next year. Apr 30 - 10:01 AM

Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez double-doubled against the Clippers on Friday, scoring 19 points on 8-of-16 shooting with 12 rebounds and a block in 38 minutes.

With Anthony Davis out for the year the window is open for Lopez to produce and he is worth adding in most formats.
Apr 13 - 1:27 AM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez shot 7-of-8 from the field for 20 points with five boards and one block in just 22 minutes vs. Sacramento.

With Anthony Davis going down due to a knee injury, Lopez could be an asset for owners in most leagues. Although, the Hornets only have three games left this year.
Apr 11 - 12:35 AM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez fell by the wayside vs. the Suns, scoring nine points with four rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes.

In the Hornets' previous two games, Lopez had averaged 14.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 34 minutes. Unfortunately, he came up against a small-ball Suns team without Marcin Gortat or Jermaine O'Neal tonight, and Monty Williams opted to go with smaller lineups.
Apr 8 - 12:01 AM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting with seven rebounds, one steal and one block in Friday's loss to the Jazz.

Lopez has issues with consistency but if you need a very low-end big man then he's worth a look.
Apr 6 - 1:04 AM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez shot 9-of-12 from the field for 23 points with 10 boards, one steal and four blocks in 30 minutes against the Grizzlies on Friday.

The Hornets played great defense and held the Grizzlies to just 38 points in the paint compared to their 48. Lopez has been on a roller coaster for most of the season and scored just four points in each of his previous two games, so he's not that exciting of a pickup in the shallow leagues in which he's available.

Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez disappeared in the Hornets' 93-72 loss to the Warriors on Monday, scoring four points on 2-of-10 shooting with two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes.

Lopez didn't have a steal or block. He had a 20-point, 11-rebound game on Sunday, but he's a borderline player in 14-16 team leagues over the past month and that means owners in standards shouldn't chase his bigger nights.
Mar 19 - 1:42 AM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez recorded his fifth double-double of the season with 20 points and 11 rebounds, but the Hornets lost after blowing a late lead in Minnesota.

Lopez shot 8-of-14 from the field and 4-of-4 from the FT line. He tends to do his best work against teams with bigger, slower centers, so he may have actually benefited from Nikola Pekovic's return after an eight-game absence. Start him at your own discretion, but note that his minutes will fluctuate as long as Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson are healthy.
Mar 17 - 9:55 PM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez played 26 minutes in Friday's 96-87 loss to the Wizards, scoring six points with two boards and two assists.

He'll have his bad game or two and this is pretty much what owners signed up for. Lopez was holding consistent value earlier, but with the Hornets having a sub-par schedule the rest of the way, he's only a borderline guy in standards.
Mar 15 - 10:07 PM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez scored 15 points in Tuesday's 108-98 loss to the Nets to go with eight boards and one block in 37 minutes.

His brother Brook served up a facial on him and the Hornets were swept in the season series. Lopez didn't get much playing time in his previous two games, averaging 20.5 minutes for just 4.5 points. Ryan Anderson not playing may have been a factor in Lopez getting significant burn, so he's not quite worth picking up in shallower formats.
Mar 12 - 10:59 PM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez played 22 minutes but he finished Saturday's road loss with just three points, one rebound and zero blocks.

Lopez has been somewhat feast-or-famine lately, and tonight fantasy owners went home hungry. The Grizzlies were missing Zach Randolph and Darrell Arthur, so presumably RoLo wasn't needed as often against smaller lineups, and he should fare better vs. the Blazers (Sunday) and Nets (Tuesday).
Mar 9 - 10:58 PM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez had a double-double in Wednesday's loss to the Lakers with 13 points and 11 boards, adding one steal and two blocks in 40 minutes.

Consistency has been the issue with him and over his previous seven games, Lopez played in 16 minutes or less in three of those contests. On the bright side, the loss of Jason Smith suggests that Ro-Lo will need to see plenty of action and he’s worth owning in standard leagues for his production in blocks and field goal percentage.
Mar 6 - 11:42 PM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez scored 10 points with five rebounds and five blocks against the Pistons on Friday.

Lopez hit 5-of-12 shots and played 31 minutes, and owners needing a big man should give him a look as long as Anthony Davis (shoulder) is out.

Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez scored 14 points to go with seven boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 29 minutes against the Nets on Tuesday.

It was his second somewhat productive game in a row with his 12-point, seven-board game against the Kings on Sunday. While's he's been quiet lately, Lopez did have an eight-game streak with at least 11 points with some blocks and boards that ended on February 13. He's starting to come around again and should be owned in standard leagues.
Feb 26 - 11:10 PM
Robin Lopez - C - Pelicans

Robin Lopez scored 12 points, grabbed seven rebounds and blocked two shots in 27 minutes on Sunday, helping the Hornets snap their three-game losing streak.

RoLo finished 6-of-11 from the field in his strongest game in two weeks. Unfortunately, his averages over the previous four games have made him anathema to fantasy owners, so he probably wasn't in many active lineups -- 6.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.0 steals and 0.5 blocks. We'll reassess Robin's outlook if he plays well again vs. brother Brook on Tuesday.
