Lopez sat out Tuesday's practice to rest, Andy Vasquez of The Record reports.

Analysis:

There's no reason to believe Lopez is dealing with an injury, and it appears as though the team is simply looking to get him some extra rest in advance of Wednesday's meeting with the Raptors. Lopez is coming off of a 19-point, five-rebound performance in Monday's 103-94 loss to the Celtics.
