Porter recorded 19 points (9-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six rebounds and five assists across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Wizards.
It was the first time all season Porter failed to record either a block or a steal. The 25-year-old guard has been productive since returning from a knee injury in late November, and over the last 14 games, he's averaging 19.4 points, 7.9 assists, 5.6 boards, 2.4 steals and 2.1 threes.

Rotowire
Porter ended with 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during Monday's 123-113 victory over Charlotte.
After scoring just eight points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field in Saturday's win over Chicago, Porter bounced back in the scoring column and was one of five Milwaukee players to finish in double figures. The 25-year-old point guard also dished out a game-high 11 assists, securing his third outing with a double-double or better in 14 regular-season appearances. Additionally, he chipped in multiple steals for a fifth straight game and has racked up 15 swipes during that span.

Rotowire
Porter recorded eight points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and four steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 112-103 win over the Bulls.
The 25-year-old guard continues to make an impact at the defensive end of the court since returning from a knee injury that cost him over a month of action. However, he struggled in the scoring column during Giannis Antetokounmpo's return from an eight-game absence due to a soleus strain. Porter has snatched multiple steals in nine of 11 December contests, averaging 20.5 points, 8.0 assists, 5.8 boards, 2.7 steals and 2.3 threes on the month.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Stuffs stat sheet Friday
Rotowire
Porter recorded 16 points (4-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 125-104 loss to Memphis.
Porter had a rough shooting performance, but his solid numbers in peripheral stats salvaged his fantasy output as the Bucks suffered a 19-point loss to the Grizzlies. The point guard failed to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points to four, but he posted at least six boards for the fourth time in his last six appearances while dishing out five or more assists each time in that stretch.

Rotowire

Porter was a huge bright spot for the Bucks, finishing one rebound shy of what would have been the fifth triple-double of his career. He's certainly thriving with his new team, posting averages of 20.0 points, 7.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.7 three-pointers across 10 regular-season appearances.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Logs double-double Thursday
Rotowire
Porter tallied 22 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block over 40 minutes during the Bucks' 111-102 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.
Porter led the Bucks on Thursday in assists and finished in scoring behind Bobby Portis (24 points), though the former was responsible for seven of 16 turnovers. Porter's 13 dimes tied a season-high that he set Dec. 11 against the Celtics, and he is enjoying an expanded role during the continued absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). In the eight games since returning in late November due to knee and ankle injuries, Porter has averaged 20.8 points, 8.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 threes and 2.3 steals over 33.2 minutes per game.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Struggles vs. Brooklyn
Rotowire
Porter accumulated five points (2-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and four steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 127-82 loss to the Nets.
Porter had major shooting woes in a game in which the Bucks looked overmatched entirely from start to finish, resulting in his worst stat line of the campaign. Porter should remain as a starter in the backcourt alongside Ryan Rollins, and given that he had scored at least 18 points in each of his previous five appearances, it wouldn't be surprising if he finds a way to bounce back when the Bucks take on the Raptors on Thursday.

The point guard led all players in points and steals, scoring at least 20 for a fourth consecutive contest, albeit in a losing effort. The 25-year-old also matched the team lead in assists and should continue to handle increased playmaking duties with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined.

Rotowire
Porter posted 20 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to the 76ers.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined, Porter took on increased playmaking duties and dished out a game- and season-high nine assists. While the 25-year-old point guard didn't deliver his most efficient performance from the field, he was perfect from the charity stripe and logged his third straight game with 20-plus points. In four outings following a 19-game absence due to meniscus and ankle injuries, Porter has averaged 22.3 points, 6.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 32.0 minutes per contest. The Bucks will need him to continue his strong play as they look to stay afloat with Antetokounmpo expected to miss an extended period.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Big night ends early due to injury
Rotowire
Porter will miss the remainder of Monday's game against the Wizards due to back spasms, Justin Garcia of the Milwaukee Bucks Radio Network reports. He registered 30 points (12-15 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds and three steals in 31 minutes before exiting with 6:37 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Playing for just the second time since spraining his left ankle in the Bucks' Oct. 22 season opener and then undergoing meniscus surgery on his right knee, Porter was in the midst of a dazzling performance Monday before the back issue forced him to exit early. Assuming Porter's back spasms aren't overly serious, he can be viewed as day-to-day hading into the Bucks' next game Wednesday versus Detroit. Porter's excellent production prior to departing should put him on the radar as a pickup in shallower leagues where he might still be available.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Scores 13 points in return
Rotowire
Porter (knee) amassed 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 116-99 victory over the Nets.
Porter was limited to 25 minutes in his first game since Opening Night. There was some understandable rust, but overall, Porter notched a solid line and did a good job filling out the stat sheet. Porter could very well remain in a starting role for the Bucks as long as he stays healthy, and once he gets on the same page with Ryan Rollins and Giannis Antetokounmpo, he should see an uptick in his overall numbers in a more consistent way.

Porter (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Nets, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Porter has been out since he sprained his ankle in the first game of the season and later underwent meniscus surgery in early November, but there's optimism he could return Saturday. If he's cleared, he'll presumably be on a minutes restriction for at least a few games. After that, coach Doc Rivers will have to figure out the rotation considering how well Ryan Rollins has played with Porter on the shelf.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Assigned to G League
Rotowire
Porter was assigned to the G League's Wisconsin Herd as he continues his rehab for a torn meniscus in his right knee, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Porter left the season opener early due to the injury and has yet to play since, but he's expected to return soon. Ryan Rollins, who has filled in for Porter as the team's starting point guard, is averaging 18.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.3 threes on a 42.0 percent clip across 31.5 minutes this season but may see his usage decrease and could eventually cede the starting role once Porter is fully acclimated to game speed.
