Milwaukee Bucks' Bobby Portis finishes third in NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting Bobby Portis of the Milwaukee Bucks finished third in the NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting. Boston's Malcolm Brogdon won the award.
Starting Game 2 Portis will enter the first five for Wednesday's Game 2 versus Miami.
Impact Portis will step into the starting lineup Wednesday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) sidelined for the contest. The big man went off for 21 points and eight rebounds over 27 minutes of Game 1 action and should certainly be in fantasy considerations with Antetokounmpo inactive Wednesday. In 22 regular-season starts, Portis averaged 17.4 points and 10.8 rebounds over 30.4 minutes.

Coming off bench in Game 1 Portis isn't starting Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against Miami on Sunday.
Impact Portis drew the start in last weekend's regular-season finale since the Bucks rested their entire starting lineup, but he'll unsurprisingly retreat to the bench for the team's first playoff matchup. The 28-year-old has averaged 12.6 points and 9.1 rebounds in 23.9 minutes per game off the bench this year.

Not starting Portis is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact The Bucks are resting all their regular starters and playing reserve players who have not seen much time this season. Portis has not been declared inactive, so it remains to be seen if he will see his usual bench role or ultimately get rested as an active player.

Pulls down eight boards in win Portis tallied five points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, and two assists across 22 minutes in Friday's 144-116 victory over the Jazz
Impact Portis struggled with his shot in this one but managed to stay active on the boards. It was just his second single-digit scoring effort in his last nine games. All-in-all, the big man has averaged 11.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.1 triples across 24.1 minutes in March.

Comes off bench for double-double Portis chipped in 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 130-94 win over San Antonio.
Impact Portis struggled to get going early, going just 2-of-8 from the floor for seven points in the first half while adding only two rebounds. He turned things around after the break, however, knocking down five of six field-goal attempts for 12 points to go along with eight boards and a steal. The Bucks' forward finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds on the night to notch his fourth double-double this month. The one blemish on the night for Portis came at the free-throw line, where he went just 2-of-8 and he's now shooting a season-low 62.5 percent from the charity stripe in March.

Retreats to bench Sunday Portis isn't starting Sunday against the Raptors.
Impact Portis drew the start Thursday against the Pacers and posted 16 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes. However, he'll retreat to the bench with Brook Lopez back in action Sunday.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Near double-double as starter Portis closed with 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks over 33 minutes during Thursday's 139-123 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Portis was back in the starting lineup with Brook Lopez (ankle) sidelined and nearly posted another double-double. Across 19 starts this season, Portis has averaged 16.8 points and 10.8 rebounds in 30.6 minutes. However, as a reserve (40 games), he's posted 12.3 points and 9.0 rebounds in 23.7 minutes.

Starting Thursday Portis will join the first five for Thursday's matchup with the Pacers.
Impact Portis will step into the starting center spot in place of Brook Lopez (ankle) alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in the frontcourt. Portis has double-doubled in each of his last three starts, averaging 19.7 points and 12.3 rebounds on 61.5 percent shooting from the field in that span.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in bench role Portis produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds over 19 minutes during Monday's 133-124 win over the Kings.
Impact The return of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the impressive play of Brook Lopez has forced Portis to adapt to a lesser role off the bench, and he struggled to make an impact in this game despite playing close to 20 minutes. Portis is averaging just 4.2 points per game in his last five games off the bench, and his fantasy value will continue to plummet if he can't bounce back from that negative run soon.
MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back in bench role Portis will come off the bench Monday night against the Kings, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Portis fared well in three straight starts while Giannis Antetokounmpo recovered from a hand injury, but he'll return to his usual bench role with Antetokounmpo back in action Monday night. Portis hasn't had a big role on the offensive end as a reserve of late, as he's been held to seven points or fewer in his last four matchups off the bench.
MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Notches another double-double Portis logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors.
Impact Portis has started three straight games in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand), and he has posted a double-double in each of those contests. The veteran had been struggling mightily prior to entering the starting five, averaging just 4.5 points on 31.8 percent shooting over his previous four contests. It's clear that Portis is most valuable as a fantasy asset when he's starting -- he's averaging 16.8 points and 10.9 boards in that role this season versus 12.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a reserve -- but he'll likely return to the bench when Antetokounmpo is able to return.

Records double-double in win Portis finished Thursday's 118-113 victory over Brooklyn with 28 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes.
Impact Portis started for the second game in a row with Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) sidelined and posted a second consecutive double-double, showing efficiency from the field and energy on the glass. Portis will remain a valuable fantasy asset for as long as he remains in the starting lineup, but Antetokounmpo's injury isn't expected to keep him sidelined much longer.

Top rebounder in starting lineup Portis racked up 16 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 134-123 victory over Orlando.
Impact Portis led all players in rebounds, posting a double-double performance while getting the start due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness). Portis has recorded at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in 31 games this year.
