Portis is in the Bucks' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Portis will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Monday due to Giannis Antetokounmpo being sidelined with an adductor strain. Through the first six games of the campaign, Portis is averaging 11.0 points on 47.6 percent shooting, 7.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 24.2 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Plays season-low 19 minutes
Rotowire
Portis contributed four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 119-108 loss to the Celtics.
This was Portis' worst performance of the young season, resulting in just 19 minutes off the bench. He was productive in his previous three games, however, so fantasy managers should brush this off as a simple off night for the veteran forward. For the season, he's hitting 51.3 percent of his shots from the field.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Double-double off bench
Rotowire
Portis closed with 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes during Sunday's 115-102 loss to Brooklyn.
Portis logged his first double-double of the season Sunday, and he finished as the Bucks' third-leading scorer behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (22) and Damian Lillard (21). Portis will continue to be the first big man off the bench for the Bucks this season behind Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Cleared to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Portis (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers.
As expected, Portis is good to go for the regular season after resting during the Bucks' preseason finale. The veteran finished third in Sixth Man of the Year voting last year, trailing Naz Reid and Malik Monk.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Won't play in preseason finale
Rotowire
Portis (rest) is inactive for Thursday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Portis has been one of the best players in the preseason throughout the league, and he's getting the night off in the final tune-up before the start of the regular season next Wednesday. Portis will open the 2024-25 regular season as the Bucks' primary frontcourt backup.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Performs well in reserve role
Rotowire
Portis compiled 23 points (8-9 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 15 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 loss to the Lakers.
Portis drilled a flurry of threes during his time on the floor and nailed all five of his attempts. He matched that feat just once last season, so although Portis can be counted on to take some shots from long range, Thursday's result was an outlier event. Portis led the team in scoring and is expected to play a sixth-man role once again this season.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Scores team-high 16 points
Rotowire
Portis delivered 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound and an assist across 14 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 120-87 preseason loss to the Pistons.
Portis was efficient with his shot and made the most of his minutes, though it's not like he's competing for a role. Portis will operate as the Bucks' sixth man and plug-in starter whenever there's a frontcourt player unavailable due to his versatility on both ends of the court. He figures to see steady minutes off the bench once the Bucks open the regular season against the 76ers on Sep. 23.
Bucks' Bobby Portis: Owns glass in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Portis ended with 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes in Thursday's 120-98 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Portis once again dominated the glass for Milwaukee in a season-ending loss Thursday, leading all players in the contest in rebounds while ending as one of three Bucks with 20 or more points in a double-double outing. Portis stepped up nicely in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in the first-round series, posting a double-double in five of the six contests while surpassing the 20-point mark in the final two games against Indiana.
Portis racked up 29 points (14-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 victory over the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Portis atoned for his ejection in Game 4, leading the Bucks to an emphatic victory. He led all scorers with 29 points, having his way on the interior against a Pacers team that looked out-enthused. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still on the sideline, Portis has been the primary beneficiary. Milwaukee will need him to replicate this performance Thursday should they hope to force a Game 7.
Portis has been ejected from Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Portis was assessed with two technical fouls stemming from an altercation with Andrew Nembhard in the first quarter, disqualifying him for the remainder of the game. Portis finished the contest with four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes of action. The already shorthanded Bucks will likely lean on Andre Jackson, Pat Connaughton and Jae Crowder to fill Portis' role.
Bucks' Bobby Portis: Owns glass in double-double showing
Rotowire
Portis finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one steal over 44 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Portis dominated the boards in Friday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of two Bucks with a double-double in a losing effort in overtime. Portis has stepped in nicely while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) continues to miss time, recording a double-double in all three games in the first-round series thus far. Portis will likely continue to remain in the starting lineup until Antetokounmpo is able to return, and he would become a key player off Milwaukee's bench if the two-time MVP does come back at some point in the series against Indiana.
