Lopez still a minimal contributor : Suns center Robin Lopez was once again not much of a factor during Tuesday night's contest against the Heat. Lopez finished with six points in the 99-95 defeat, on 2 of 7 shooting from the field. He also added four rebounds and one steal to his stat line, while logging 13 minutes off the bench.

Fantasy Analysis
Lopez continues to see around 20 minutes per game, but hasn't been doing much with his minutes of late. The 23-year-old is averaging just 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds over his last 10 contests, which isn't going to help many owners out at this point in the season. Leave Lopez on the waiver wire in the majority of formats. (Updated 03/21/2012).

Robin Lopez did not come into the league with the same expectations as his twin brother, Brook. That is a good thing, considering the mediocre numbers Lopez has put up over his first three NBA seasons. Lopez has enjoyed brief spells of viability, but his inconsistency opened the door for Marcin Gortat to emerge as a potential star center last season after he was acquired via trade from the Magic. Lopez remained the team's starter, but in practice only. While Lopez took the opening tip in games and was announced during player introductions, it was Gortat who played the most minutes and did all the heavy lifting. As long as Gortat remains healthy this season, that should once again be the case. But don't expect much out of Lopez even if he finds himself in a situation to play a more primary role, he has proven that he can't be trused for more than a random productive stat line every now and again.
