Double-doubles in return Portis (knee) notched 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Friday's 128-99 win over the Heat. Impact Though he handled relatively light minutes off the bench in his first game since Jan. 23, Portis still came through with the goods for fantasy managers. Though head coach Mike Budenholzer could look to manage Portis' minutes a bit over the next game or two, the big man could settle back into a fantasy-friendly role in the event Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is forced to miss time after exiting late in the first quarter of Friday's contest. Portis is averaging 14.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per contest while shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 83.6 percent from the free-throw line through 48 appearances on the season, though much of his production came when the Bucks were missing either or both of Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton due to injury.
