Lopez got the start with Mo Bamba (ankle) entering the leagues' health and safety protocols, and he saw even more increased run once Wendell Carter Jr left early with a lower leg injury. The Magic face the Brooklyn Nets Saturday on a back-to-back where they will once again turn to Lopez to pick up a significant chunk of the slack in the frontcourt.
