Portis notched 10 points (3-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's 113-109 loss to the Mavericks.
Portis recorded his first double-double of the season and also scored in double digits for a third straight game. While he continues to struggle from the floor, Portis remains a valuable two-way asset for the Heat, and his rapport with Giannis Antetokounmpo has been valuable for a Heat team that's still searching for its first win of the season. Portis is providing useful production across multiple fantasy categories off the bench, but his role should remain somewhat limited as long as both Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo remain healthy.

Heat's Bobby Portis: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Portis contributed 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-0 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and a steal across 21 minutes off the bench in Friday's 128-111 loss to the Pistons.
Portis provided useful scoring and rebounding production in limited minutes, connecting on three triples while finishing second on the team in rebounds. He's filling the same role he had over the last few years in Milwaukee, and Portis will remain valuable in fantasy as long as he has a steady bench role, thanks to his encouraging per-minute production and long-range shooting. Portis should remain a viable source of rebounds and three-pointers, but his ceiling is capped due to his bench role and somewhat limited playing time.

Heat's Bobby Portis: Not starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Portis won't start Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Zachary Weinberger of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Portis drew the start in Friday's preseason finale but will return to the second unit Wednesday. The veteran big man is expected to play a sizable role off the Heat's bench this season.

Heat's Bobby Portis: Struggles in win
Rotowire
Portis finished with 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 20 minutes during Thursday's 128-118 preseason victory over New Orleans.
Portis struggled with his shot but contributed across several categories, particularly on the glass and defensively. The veteran forward received a relatively substantial workload in his first preseason appearance with Miami, though his role alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo could limit his opportunities compared to previous seasons. Portis should remain a capable source of points and rebounds when given sufficient playing time.
The Bucks traded Portis (wrist) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) to the Heat on Monday in exchange for Tyler Herro (foot), Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez, Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks, a pick swap and a second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Portis spent six years in Milwaukee, winning a championship with Antetokounmpo in 2020-21 while playing a steady role off the bench throughout his tenure. He's averaged at least 10 points and five rebounds per game while shooting at least 35 percent from deep in each of his past nine seasons. Portis figures to be a key part of the new-look Heat, who lost most of their depth while acquiring a two-time MVP to pair with Bam Adebayo.
