Bucks' Kevin Porter: Out again Sunday
Rotowire
Porter (knee) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game versus the Magic.
This will be Porter's third consecutive game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Tuesday's game against the Suns. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will join Porter on the inactive list Sunday, so Ryan Rollins figures to be very busy on offense.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
Porter is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to right knee swelling.
Wednesday marks Porter's first absence since Feb. 3. The star guard can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup versus the Jazz. After coming off the bench in Monday's loss to Boston, Ryan Rollins figures to jump right back into the starting lineup in Porter's stead.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Muted effort in loss
Rotowire
Porter closed Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 31 minutes.
Porter, who has been carrying the Bucks in recent weeks, took a backseat Monday with Giannis Antetokounmpo back in the mix. Porter has previously been able to coexist next to Antetokounmpo just fine, so fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outlier.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Posts another strong final line
Rotowire
Porter contributed 20 points (10-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and five steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 victory over Cleveland.
Porter wasn't able to reach the 30-point threshold like he did Tuesday night against Miami, but he still supplied 20 points and shot the basketball with efficiency. He's also been a strong contributor on the boards by racking up 15 total rebounds over his last two appearances. Porter is averaging 21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 2.7 steals in nine February appearances and is a big reason for Milwaukee's recent turnaround.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Full stat line in win
Rotowire
Porter chipped in 32 points (11-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 victory over Miami.
Porter limped to the locker room in the first quarter due to an apparent leg issue, though he didn't show any signs of being bothered the rest of the way. The 25-year-old guard dropped a game-high 32 points, with 13 coming in the final frame. Porter also led the Bucks in assists and has dished out at least seven in each of his last nine appearances. He has reached the 20-point mark in three straight outings, averaging 26.0 points, 8.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 33.3 minutes per game over that stretch. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains without a firm timetable for a return, and Porter should continue to see increased usage for as long as the former is sidelined.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Double-double in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Porter produced 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 loss to the Raptors.
The double-double was the eighth of the season for Porter, as he creeps closer to the career-high 10 he recorded with the Rockets in 2021-22. The 25-year-old guard has looked good since returning to the starting lineup Feb. 6 after missing time with an oblique strain, averaging 21.2 points, 8.3 assists, 4.7 boards and 2.0 steals over the last six contests.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Drops 25 in Friday's win
Rotowire
Porter contributed 25 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 139-118 victory over the Pelicans.
The 25-year-old topped 20 points for the third time in five contests since returning to the starting lineup after recovering from an oblique injury. Over that five-game stretch, Porter is averaging 21.2 points, 8.0 assists, 5.2 boards and 1.8 steals, but his usage figures to decline once Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is back on the court.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Triple-doubles in win
Rotowire
Porter finished Wednesday's 116-108 victory over Orlando with 18 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.
This marked Porter's second triple-double of the season and the fifth of his career. He appeared to tweak his right leg midway through the third quarter but managed to play through it without heading to the locker room. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if he lands on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Thunder. Until then, managers can operate under the assumption that no news is good news.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Impressive run continues
Rotowire
Porter finished Monday's 118-99 loss to Orlando with 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 36 minutes.

Porter joined the starting five in his second outing back from a six-game absence due to a right oblique strain and stuffed the stat sheet.

He also led Milwaukee in assists and steals. Porter has dished out 17 dimes while supplying eight swipes over his last two appearances.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Back in starting five
Rotowire
Porter is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Pacers on Friday.
Porter was given the green light to return against the Pelicans on Wednesday following a six-game absence due to a right oblique strain, and he finished that contest with 18 points, nine assists, six rebounds and five steals over 29 minutes. He's been a starter for most of the season, and he'll reclaim that role for Friday's contest.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Stuffs stat sheet
Rotowire
Porter (oblique) generated 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and five steals across 29 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 141-137 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Porter made his return from a six-game absence due to a right oblique strain and came through with an excellent line for fantasy managers who elected to activate him. Despite coming off the bench, Porter made major contributions, as he tied for the team-high mark in assists and matched his career-high total with five steals. The Bucks could continue to deploy Porter as their sixth man, but he should be in line for heavy usage while Milwaukee remains without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), who could be moved ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Nearing return to action
Rotowire
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that Porter (oblique) is getting close to returning and could play as soon as Wednesday against the Pelicans, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Porter is set to miss his sixth consecutive contest Tuesday against the Bulls due to a right oblique strain, but he's seemingly making good progress in his recovery and is now being viewed as day-to-day. The 25-year-old guard's eventual return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Gary Trent and Cole Anthony on the second unit. Over eight January appearances (seven starts) prior to getting hurt, Porter averaged 13.0 points, 7.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 34.1 minutes per tilt.
