Bobby Portis News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Enters starting lineup Portis will start Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Portis will make his first start of the season with Brook Lopez (personal) out of the lineup. Portis has been playing well of late, averaging 12.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances. He will look to continue his strong play in a starting role.

Consistent contributions continue Portis posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 129-117 victory over Dallas.

Impact Portis is averaging 12.8 points and 8.6 rebounds while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from deep in 24.4 minutes across his last five contests. Portis is spending 63.0 percent of his minutes as a center for Milwaukee, and his defensive rebounding rate ranks in the 82nd percentile, just below Deandre Ayton but just above Jarrett Allen.

Milwaukee runs on BP Portis had 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 141-117 win over New Orleans.

Impact Portis launched his fourth-highest shot quantity of the season Saturday en route to his sixth game with 20 plus-points. He has been mentioned in trade rumors throughout past weeks, but Portis plays an imperative role as frontcourt depth with the ability to space the floor and rebound in the second unit. Remaining in Milwaukee is likely, especially considering the Bucks' limited trade assets that could be packaged with Portis to improve the roster.

Dominant in win Portis amassed 22 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Sunday's 143-142 overtime victory over Sacramento.

Impact Portis stepped up for a Milwaukee team that was without Khris Middleton for the second leg of their back-to-back set. The forward recorded his seventh double-double of the season in the win, and he's in the midst of his best stretch of the campaign. Over his last three games, Portis holds averages of 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in just 22.8 minutes.

Impact Portis led all players in Thursday's contest in scoring and threes made while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a double-double performance. Portis connected on at least five threes for the first time while tying a season high in rebounds and posting his sixth double-double of the year.

Minor slump continues Portis contributed five points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 125-121 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Despite averaging 12.3 points per game this season, Portis has failed to score in double digits over his last four outings. The 28-year-old big man is shooting just 35.3 percent from the field and 10.0 percent from three over that span. Portis has also seen his rebounding drop significantly, going from 9.6 per contest last season to 6.7 in 2023-24.

Just misses double-double Monday Portis chipped in 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and nine rebounds across 31 minutes off the bench during Monday's 129-122 loss to New York.

Impact The 28-year-old forward just missed recording his fourth double-double in the last six games as he led the Bucks' second unit in scoring, rebounding and minutes. Portis is enjoying a strong December overall, averaging 15.8 points, 7.8 boards and 1.5 threes in 24.5 minutes a game over the last 11 contests while shooting a blistering 57.6 percent from the floor and 42.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Double-double in Saturday's win Portis ended Saturday's 130-111 victory over the Knicks with 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 27 minutes off the bench.

Impact It was the fifth double-double of the season for Portis, but three of them have come in the last five games. The veteran big is having a strong December overall, averaging 16.2 points, 7.7 boards and 1.7 threes in 23.9 minutes over the last 10 games.

Shines off bench Tuesday Portis produced 23 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 132-119 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Portis was one of Milwaukee's best players in this one despite coming off the bench, and his physicality gave him a boost against a more undersized Spurs frontcourt. Portis hasn't posted the same numbers he's had in previous seasons, but he remains a valuable piece off the bench for the Bucks. He's on a roll of late after scoring in double figures in his last five outings, a span in which he's averaging 20.2 points per game while shooting an impressive, and almost unsustainable, 63.1 percent from the field.

Season best outing off bench Portis posted 31 points (11-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 146-114 win over Detroit.

Impact Portis led all bench players in Saturday's game in scoring while hauling in a team-best rebound total and setting season-high marks in points, rebounds and threes made. Portis has finished with 17 or more points in three straight contests, hauling in 10 or more rebounds in two games this year.

Bucks 146 - Pistons 114 | Bobby Portis Drops 31, Damian Lillard Adds 33 Points

Ejected Wednesday Portis was ejected from Wednesday's game after receiving his second technical foul, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

Impact Portis picked up his first technical in a confrontation with Aaron Nesmith after Nesmith committed a hard foul on Giannis Antetokounmpo. Soon after, Portis was handed a second tech during a verbal altercation with Obi Toppin. He'll leave the contest with 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes. Portis should be expected to be back in action Saturday against the Pistons.

Scores efficient 17 points Portis contributed 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and seven rebounds over 25 minutes during Monday's 133-129 overtime victory over the Bulls.

Impact Portis played 25 minutes off the bench, scoring at least 13 points for the third time in the past four games. Although he remains a key piece off the bench for the Bucks, Portis is barely inside the top 150 for the season. He can be utilized for streaming purposes but at this point, it's hard to make a case for him being a must-roster player.

Makes big impact off bench Portis accumulated 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and 11 rebounds in 23 minutes during Saturday's 132-121 win over the Hawks.

Impact Portis didn't have his best offensive showing, but he still found a way to record a double-double despite logging just 23 minutes. The veteran big man has struggled when it comes to his consistency, however, and he has scored in double digits just twice over his last six outings. That lack of consistency certainly conspires against his upside in most formats.
