Portis closed Friday's 122-121 win over Charlotte with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes.
Portis scored 15 of his 20 points in the second half, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter to help propel the Bucks to a come-from-behind victory. It was his sixth 20-plus-point outing of the season, and the veteran big man has scored in double-digits in each of his last 10 games. Over that span, Portis has averaged 18.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.7 threes and 0.9 steals over 27.8 minutes per game.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Steps up off bench
Rotowire
Portis notched 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Monday's 123-113 victory over Charlotte.
For the fifth time this season, Portis eclipsed 20 points for the Bucks. He's been on a mini heater lately, posting averages of 17.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers over his last four games in 28.5 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Shifts back to bench
Rotowire
Portis isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Chicago.
Portis had started back-to-back games, but he'll return to the second unit now that Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available. The Bucks will start Kevin Porter, Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. Portis is averaging 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game this season.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Another double-double Saturday
Rotowire
Portis accumulated 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 112-103 win over Chicago.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo making his return from a calf strain, Portis shifted back to the second unit but remained productive, recording his fifth double-double of the season, all of which have come in the last seven games. Over that stretch, the veteran forward is averaging 17.6 points, 9.7 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.1 assists while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor and an impressive 50.0 percent (15-for-30) from beyond the arc.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Records double-double
Rotowire
Portis provided 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 125-104 loss to Memphis.
Portis was efficient from the field and active on the glass en route to his fourth double-double of the season. It's fair to say the veteran forward is going through his most prolific stretch of the campaign, as Portis has racked up all four of his double-doubles in his last six outings. He's averaging 16.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game in his five starts this season.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Portis amassed 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 103-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
Portis entered the starting lineup Sunday following a handful of strong outings, and he responded by posting his third double-double in his last four games. He wasn't quite as efficient from the field as he had been to begin the month (52.3 percent over seven appearances), but he still managed to provide a solid scoring boost. Whether he remains in the starting lineup or shifts back to the bench, Portis should continue to see high usage while the Bucks are without the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf).

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Portis is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Sunday.
Portis has tallied 20-point double-doubles in two of his last three games, and his strong play has earned him a spot in the Bucks' starting lineup for Sunday's contest. It's his third start of the season and first since Nov. 22 against the Pistons, when he posted 18 points, seven rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Another strong bench performance
Rotowire
Portis logged 24 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two steals and one block over 39 minutes during the Bucks' 111-102 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.
Portis gave the Bucks the scoring punch off the bench they needed to stay competitive during Thursday's loss. He finished as the team's leading scorer and rebounder en route to his second double-double of the season. He started the second half ahead of Jericho Sims, so it's possible Portis enters the starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Sunday. Either way, Portis should continue to see increased usage until Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) returns to game action.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Powers Milwaukee to victory
Rotowire
Portis produced 27 points (11-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 116-101 win over the Celtics.
Portis was nearly unstoppable against a team riding a five-game winning streak, leading the bench in scoring and made triples. He also secured his first double-double of the season by crashing the glass, tying Kevin Porter for a team-high 10 rebounds. Portis became one of the keys of Milwaukee's offensive attack without the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and AJ Green (shoulder) on Thursday, and he could continue to see more looks than usual until Green gains clearance to return.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Ties season scoring high Friday
Rotowire
Portis racked up 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-101 loss to the 76ers.
The 22 points led the Bucks on the night, and Portis tied his season scoring high with the performance, matching the 22 points he dropped against the Trail Blazers on Nov. 24. The veteran forward has drained multiple three-pointers in four straight games, averaging 15.0 points, 5.8 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.5 assists in 22.8 minutes a contest from the second unit during that stretch.
Portis (eye) is available to play Wednesday versus Detroit.
Portis was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday, but he's been given the green light. He's averaged 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest through 22 games this season.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Portis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to a left eye abrasion.
Portis is a late addition to the injury report Wednesday. The Bucks are likely to have him go through pregame warmups before updating his status. If Portis ends up sitting out, Kyle Kuzma should see more playing time at power forward, and Jericho Sims could see a larger role.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Limited to 17 minutes
Rotowire
Portis provided 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Monday's 129-126 loss to the Wizards.
Portis' fantasy appeal continues to leave a lot to be desired. Both Jericho Sims and Kyle Kuzma saw slightly more minutes than Portis in this one, and Giannis Antetokounmpo looked healthy in his second straight appearance. At least for the short term, Portis' fantasy appeal is limited to deeper formats.
Portis registered 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 115-103 loss to Portland.
Coach Doc Rivers opted to start Jericho Sims in the frontcourt next to Myles Turner, with Sims playing just 11 minutes. Portis took over in the second quarter to the tune of 14 points in eight minutes, but it wasn't enough as the team struggled to generate offense as a group. Portis should continue having an elevated role for as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) remains sidelined. With the superstar out for the past three games, Portis has averaged 19.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.7 minutes.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Portis will come off the bench Monday against the Trail Blazers.
Portis started the past two games, but head coach Doc Rivers will be giving Jericho Sims the start Monday night in what is likely a matchup-based decision. Portis should still be able to flirt with minutes in the mid-20s in the reserve role, so he can be viewed as a viable target in daily fantasy leagues.
Portis amassed 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 129-116 loss to the Pistons.
Portis has scored at least 18 points in his last two starts, and he should remain a valuable fantasy option as long as he remains in a starting role. He can help fantasy managers in categories such as points, rebounds and field-goal percentage. Portis can also produce off the bench, and he has double-digit points in seven of his last eight games overall.
