Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (elbow) is listed as doubtful heading into Saturday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets. He wasn't available for Milwaukee's overtime win over the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Taurean Prince received 45 minutes of action, ending the evening with 15 points and 10 rebounds. If Portis remains on the shelf on Saturday, Prince is worth consideration for fantasy lineups. The 30-year-old could also remain a top DFS value option, even more so with Damian Lillard (concussion) missing his third-consecutive contest.
Bobby Portis Returns To Double-Double Form On Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis was back to his best against Indiana on Tuesday, helping the team extend the series in Game 5 with a 29-point, 10-rebound double-double. He shot 14-for-24 from the field and had one assist and one steal as well. This was an impressive bounce-back performance from Portis after he was limited to only four points and three rebounds in Game 4 due to an early ejection. Filling in for Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in the first unit, Portis has done a great job, averaging 15.8 points and 10.6 rebounds in the series. He should remain a double-double threat even if Antetokounmpo is cleared for action and Portis heads back to the bench.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis was ejected in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Pacers. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) weren't available for this contest, so Portis was expected to play a pivotal role offensively. However, after receiving two technicals for a physical confrontation with Andrew Nembhard, his night is over. Portis will finish with four points and three rebounds, with AJ Green, Andre Jackson Jr., and Pat Connaughton expected to see more action for the shorthanded Bucks.
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis has given head coach Doc Rivers a vote of confidence, saying he has unlocked a whole new player in him. Rivers' fit with the Bucks has been questioned heavily after he replaced Adrian Griffin in late January and finished the regular season with a losing record at the helm. He went 17-19 with the Bucks, which saw the team drop to the third seed in the Eastern Conference. Portis averaged 15.3 points and 8.9 rebounds under Rivers, a slight improvement from his season averages. The 29-year-old could end up playing a very big role in the first-round matchup against Indiana, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in a race to get healthy for the series.
Bobby Portis Available To Play Versus Oklahoma City
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (rest) will be available to play in Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 29-year-old was originally listed as questionable on earlier injury reports but will be active for this game. Fantasy managers will be happy to see Portis on the court, as he is coming off a dominant performance on Wednesday, scoring 30 points and securing nine rebounds while recording five steals against the Orlando Magic. Damian Lillard (adductor) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) are not playing, which will likely create plenty of opportunities for Portis.
Bobby Portis Posts Big Double-Double In Blowout Win
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis may not be posting the same type of numbers that he did last season, but he's always a threat to go off in any given game. The 28-year-old posted one of his best games of the season en route to a blowout win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday. The veteran forward finished with 28 points, 12 rebounds, and one steal while shooting 11-for-18 overall and 5-for-6 from deep. For the fantasy managers that have hung on to him in deeper leagues, this was an amazing sight, but his value in 12-team leagues and fewer hasn't been as great. Portis has even seen fewer minutes this year, so he's still a bit harder to trust in smaller leagues.
Bobby Portis Has Very Productive 16 Minutes Against Jordan
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis came alive at the FIBA World Cup on Wednesday, producing the goods at both ends of the court in a blowout victory over Jordan. The 28-year-old notched 13 points on 4-for-8 shooting and registered six rebounds with three steals in 16 minutes. Playing as a backup, Portis had logged only 22 minutes across the first two games of the tournament, but the Americans completely dominated Wednesday's game, and head coach Steve Kerr decided to spread the minutes around more. Every Team USA player logged at least 12 minutes and nobody saw over 21 minutes on the court. Portis & Co. will continue the show on Friday versus Montenegro.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis got the start on Thursday while Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) remained on the sidelines. The 28-year-old didn't disappoint by posting one of his best games of the season with 28 points, 13 rebounds, and two assists on 11-for-15 shooting from the floor and 3-for-4 from beyond the arc. When he's on the floor alongside Brook Lopez, his offensive game is maximized since he can score from all three levels. Any time he's inserted in the starting lineup, he's an instant streaming option for anyone that may need an extra big man.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis will start in Sunday's matchup versus the visiting Phoenix Suns. Giannis Antetokounmpo (quadriceps) is out after exiting in the first quarter on Friday against the Miami Heat. That said, the multi-time MVP has been banged up all year, so there's a chance he'll also miss Tuesday's game in Brooklyn. As a result, Portis, who has averaged 16.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, and shot 38.9% from downtown in 14 starts this season, will be a must-start fantasy. The 28-year-old will also be a popular DFS option for those participating in early contests.
Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (knee) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man has been sidelined nearly a month, but was able to practice on Wednesday without any issues. The fact he has been out for so long means Portis will probably be limited during his first game back. His return is good news for the Bucks who could be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) for Friday's game. That being said, Portis could become a decent streaming option even in a limited role without Antetokounmpo available. It's also worth noting that Jae Crowder is expected to make his team debut on Friday. He should absorb extra minutes if the Bucks are without their superstar forward. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for more information.
