Lopez will continue to come off the bench indefinitely, The Brooklyn Game's Devin Kharpertian reports.

Analysis:

Mason Plumlee will continue to start alongside Kevin Garnett for "balance," according to coach Lionel Hollins. It is not really important that Lopez be in the starting lineup, it is just important that he start seeing significant minutes, and that is not happening yet. He is averaging 20.6 minutes per game over his last five contests, however, he has still managed to average 14.4 points and 6.2 rebounds over that stretch. If he can start seeing 25-30 minutes per game at some point, whether as a starter or a reserve, then he will become one of the top fantasy centers again.
