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.

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.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Dominates in Game 5 victory
Rotowire
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.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Ejected Sunday
Rotowire
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.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Records double-double in loss
Rotowire
Portis supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Although Portis didn't come anywhere near Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) usual production, the former is doing enough to keep the interior afloat. Portis is expected to play at least one more game as Antetokounmpo's fill-in, but he'll need to keep the double-doubles coming. The Bucks' playoff fortunes will fade rapidly without a stronger response to Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner in the paint.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Double-doubles in start
Rotowire
Portis posted 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 109-94 victory over the Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Portis remained in the starting lineup for Game 1, filling the vacant spot left by Giannis Antetkounmpo (calf). While he is certainly not a like-for-like replacement, Portis is more than capable of producing, especially on the offensive end. With Antetokounmpo likely to miss at least another game, Portis should continue to serve as the second or third option on offense for the time being.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Tallies double-double in loss
Rotowire
Portis had 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-88 loss to the Magic.
Portis earned his third straight start in place of the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), leading all Bucks in rebounds to go along with a team-high-tying point total in the lone double-double of the contest. Portis has stepped up nicely for Milwaukee to round out the regular season, posting a double-double in four of the final eight games of the year.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Good to go
Rotowire
Portis (rest) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Portis, Brook Lopez (rest) and Khris Middleton (ankle) have all been upgraded from questionable to available, while Damian Lillard (adductor) has been downgraded to out and will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. With Antetokounmpo out again, Portis should remain in the first unit after posting 30 points (14-18 FG), nine rebounds, five steals and three assists as a starter during Wednesday's win over Orlando.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Portis is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder due to rest.
Portis has been anchoring the second unit all season long, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined, the former started Wednesday's win over the Magic, posting 30 points (14-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and five steals in 30 minutes. If Portis rests Friday, Jae Crowder or Danilo Gallinari could be in line to see more minutes in the final two games of the regular season.

Rotowire
Portis closed Sunday's 122-109 loss to New York with 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes.
This was a terrific showing for Portis as he continues to impress off the bench. Over his last four games, Portis has put together averages of 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Scores 19 points off bench
Rotowire
Portis posted 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 111-101 loss to the Grizzlies.
Portis continues to strengthen his candidacy as the Sixth Man of the Year with another strong two-way showing. Portis is ending the campaign on a very strong note for the Bucks, and his role tends to grow whenever one of the starters is not available. Portis has averaged 15.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks across 25.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break, making him one of the most effective per-minute bench players in the NBA.

Portis closed Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime loss to the Lakers with 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.
Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo (29 points, 21 rebounds) combined to account for 55.7 percent of Milwaukee's rebounds as a team -- although Los Angeles still won the rebounding battle 69 to 61. Tuesday represents a quintessential performance of the best Portis brings off Milwaukee's bench, contributing via efficient scoring, reliable floor spacing and two-way rebounding energy.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Monster game in reserve vs. Boston
Rotowire
Portis finished with 24 points (11-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds and one block over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 122-119 loss to the Celtics.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) sidelined for the second straight game, Portis ate up the forward minutes off the bench and registered his 12th double-double of the season. It was a nice follow-up from his 31-point performance Sunday against the Suns, though Milwaukee wasn't able to come away with the win Wednesday. Portis is averaging 17.6 points on 54.0 percent shooting (including 48.1 percent from three on 3.0 3PA/G) and 9.1 rebounds over 26.3 minutes per game in March.
