BOBBY PORTIS NEWS

Exits without return Portis exited without return during Monday's contest against the Pistons due to right knee soreness, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Portis had recorded 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 23 minutes before exiting. Milwaukee's next contest comes Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Returns to bench Portis will not start in Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Portis will return to the second unit with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) back in action. With Khris Middleton (knee) also available off the bench, Portis will likely be forced to share the ball more than usual and could log a few minutes less than usual. In his last five appearances as a starter, Portis averaged 16.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 31.7 minutes.

Delivers double-double Saturday Portis totaled 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Portis notched a double-double for a third straight game and the eighth time over his last 11 appearances. The veteran forward has been starting with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined of late and has thrived in the role, averaging 16.6 points (on 45.5 percent shooting from the field), 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.2 steals per contest over his past five appearances with the top unit.

Another double-double in win Portis chipped in 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-122 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Portis posted yet another double-double while leading the Bucks in rebounds during Tuesday's victory, logging his second straight double-double performance. Portis has tallied at least 10 points and 10 boards in 22 games this season.

Double-double performance in win Portis logged 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 132-119 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Portis finished second on the team in scoring while leading in rebounds, notching his second double-double in the last five games. Portis has tallied at least 20 points and 10 boards on seven occasions this season.

Good to go Monday Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said Portis (quadriceps) will play in Monday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Portis had been listed as probable heading into the day with a right quadriceps contusion, so he never appeared at risk of sitting out the Bucks' Martin Luther King, Jr. Day game. However, his appearance on the injury report to begin the Bucks' three-game week suggests that Portis may be a candidate to sit the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday against the Raptors, though Budenholzer hasn't clarified his plans. At least for Monday's contest, Portis looks as though he'll be in line for a third consecutive start in the frontcourt while Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) remains sidelined.

On injury report for Monday Portis is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Pacers with a right quadriceps contusion.

Impact The bruised quad is unlikely to keep Portis from playing Monday, but he'll presumably move back to the bench after he picked up his second straight start in Saturday's 111-95 loss to the Heat. Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) missed the past two games but is listed as probable for Monday's contest and is thus on track to reclaim his starting role in the frontcourt alongside Brook Lopez. Portis should still see a healthy amount of playing time as the first big man off the bench.

Leading scorer in loss Portis accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 111-95 loss to the Heat.

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (knee) both out, the Bucks tried to rely on a balanced offense and had all five starters score in double digits, but Portis' 15 was the most any of them could manage. It's his 10th straight game with 10 or more points, and the veteran forward is averaging 16.1 points, 9.9 boards, 1.5 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch.

Enters starting five Portis is starting Thursday's game against Miami.

Impact Portis will get a shot with the first unit while Giannis Antetokounmpo gets time to recover from a sore knee. The Arkansas product's last start dates back to Jan. 1 against the Wizards, when he put up 19 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes of action.

Another 10 boards off bench Portis supplied 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 114-105 win over the Hawks.

Impact After being held scoreless in the first quarter, Portis led all players in the second quarter with 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field while adding six boards. He basically disappeared in the second half, however, adding just two more points on 1-of-2 shooting to go along with one rebound and one assist. Despite the lackluster performance over the final two quarters, Portis still managed to notch his seventh double-double in his last eight games, and he's also scored in double figures in eight straight appearances.

Secures another double-double Portis had 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Portis cruised to his fourth straight double-double by shooting the basketball well and by cleaning up on the defensive glass, where he secured 10 of his 13 boards. The Arkansas product continues to serve as an impact player for Milwaukee, primarily off the bench. He's averaged 15.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in his last six games.

Double-doubles in spot start Portis had 19 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 118-95 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Portis moved into the starting lineup Sunday, compiling his third straight double-double. A top-70 player on the season, Portis continues to benefit whenever the Bucks are shorthanded, something that is becoming a regular occurrence in Milwaukee. If the team ever gets healthy, his value would likely take a hit, but until then, managers should just keep rolling him out there with confidence.

Starting against Wizards Portis is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Portis jumps into the starting lineup with Giannis Antetokounmpo ruled out due to a knee injury, but he shouldn't have issues adjusting to the role. He's averaging 16.5 points and 12.0 rebounds per game across eight starts this season, racking up six double-doubles in that span as well.

Returns to form vs. Chicago Portis closed Wednesday's 119-113 overtime loss to the Bulls with 20 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes.

Impact Portis scored a season-low four points Sunday against the Celtics, but he responded with a 20-point night in Wednesday's loss. He notched his seventh double-double of December by crashing the boards, and he also tied his top mark of the season with three made triples, a number he's hit two other times this year.

Season-low output versus Pelicans Portis closed Monday's 128-119 victory over New Orleans with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes.

Impact Portis had fallen below double digits in the scoring column just three times previously this season and hadn't scored fewer than seven points in a game, but Monday's effort bottomed out his typical floor. Even so, Portis remains a consistent member of the rotation, so it's better to consider this one a deviation from the norm. Portis checks in just outside the top 100 in per-game and per-36 fantasy points production and certainly would warrant a longer look should Giannis Antetokounmpo or Brook Lopez miss any extended time.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles as starter Portis supplied 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Saturday's 123-97 win over the Jazz.

Impact The veteran forward got the start due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), and he made the most of the opportunity. Portis has looked impressive regardless of his role, as he's played both as a starter and off the bench, and should remain a valuable piece for the Bucks going forward. It wouldn't be shocking if he remains in the starting lineup when the Bucks take on the Pelicans on Monday, though that will likely depend on whether Antetokoummpo recovers in time to play or not. Portis has 17 double-doubles on the season.
