Bucks' Bobby Portis: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Portis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to a left eye abrasion.
Portis is a late addition to the injury report Wednesday. The Bucks are likely to have him go through pregame warmups before updating his status. If Portis ends up sitting out, Kyle Kuzma should see more playing time at power forward, and Jericho Sims could see a larger role.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Limited to 17 minutes
Rotowire
Portis provided 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Monday's 129-126 loss to the Wizards.
Portis' fantasy appeal continues to leave a lot to be desired. Both Jericho Sims and Kyle Kuzma saw slightly more minutes than Portis in this one, and Giannis Antetokounmpo looked healthy in his second straight appearance. At least for the short term, Portis' fantasy appeal is limited to deeper formats.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Shines off bench in loss
Rotowire
Portis registered 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 115-103 loss to Portland.
Coach Doc Rivers opted to start Jericho Sims in the frontcourt next to Myles Turner, with Sims playing just 11 minutes. Portis took over in the second quarter to the tune of 14 points in eight minutes, but it wasn't enough as the team struggled to generate offense as a group. Portis should continue having an elevated role for as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) remains sidelined. With the superstar out for the past three games, Portis has averaged 19.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.7 minutes.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Portis will come off the bench Monday against the Trail Blazers.
Portis started the past two games, but head coach Doc Rivers will be giving Jericho Sims the start Monday night in what is likely a matchup-based decision. Portis should still be able to flirt with minutes in the mid-20s in the reserve role, so he can be viewed as a viable target in daily fantasy leagues.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Scores 18 in loss to Pistons
Rotowire
Portis amassed 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 129-116 loss to the Pistons.
Portis has scored at least 18 points in his last two starts, and he should remain a valuable fantasy option as long as he remains in a starting role. He can help fantasy managers in categories such as points, rebounds and field-goal percentage. Portis can also produce off the bench, and he has double-digit points in seven of his last eight games overall.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Portis recorded 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 overtime loss to the 76ers.
Portis got the nod at power forward due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) and made the most of his minutes while ending just two boards shy of a double-double. The veteran has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous seven appearances, averaging 12.6 points, 5.6 boards and 0.7 steals per game in that stretch. Portis will retain fantasy value as long as Antetokounmpo is sidelined.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Struggles off bench vs. Toronto
Rotowire
Portis logged two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes during Milwaukee's 128-100 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.
Portis entered Tuesday's game having connected on 53.8 percent of his field-goal attempts over his last three outings, but the veteran forward struggled during the loss as he matched a season-low scoring output. The 11th-year pro is averaging 8.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 19.4 minutes per game this season while shooting just 39.7 percent from the field (including 34.5 percent from three on 3.6 3PA/G).

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Limited workload in win
Rotowire
Portis registered nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 win over the Knicks.
Portis hasn't been too involved to open the 2025-26 regular season with 19.4 minutes per contest through four games. That could keep his fantasy appeal limited to deeper formats, at least while the Bucks are mostly healthy up front. In that span, Portis has averaged 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 35.9 percent shooting from the field.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Nears double-double in win
Rotowire
Portis dropped 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 21 minutes in Friday's 122-116 victory over the Raptors.
Portis has not shot the ball well, averaging 31.6 percent from the field and 20 percent from three to begin the season. However, the volume is certainly there, and he has been able to provide value in rebounds, meaning once Portis is able to get back on track regarding his efficiency, he may be a streaming option to monitor moving forward.
