Magic's Robin Lopez enters health protocols, out Thursday
Orlando Magic center Robin Lopez has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols.
What It Means:
Lopez started four of the last six games while the Magic dealt with several players in protocols, but now he will miss at least the next three. Moe Wagner is a candidate to replace Lopez in the starting lineup on Thursday night versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Freddie Gillespie could see more minutes with the second unit.
numberFire's models project Wagner for 18.4 minutes and 17.3 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $3,800 salary on the four-game slate. Gillespie ($4,400) is projected for 17.0 minutes and 15.0 FanDuel points. The Bucks are allowing the third-fewest FanDuel points per game to the center position this season.
