Pulls down eight boards in win Portis tallied five points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, and two assists across 22 minutes in Friday's 144-116 victory over the Jazz

Impact Portis struggled with his shot in this one but managed to stay active on the boards. It was just his second single-digit scoring effort in his last nine games. All-in-all, the big man has averaged 11.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.1 triples across 24.1 minutes in March.

Comes off bench for double-double Portis chipped in 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 130-94 win over San Antonio.

Impact Portis struggled to get going early, going just 2-of-8 from the floor for seven points in the first half while adding only two rebounds. He turned things around after the break, however, knocking down five of six field-goal attempts for 12 points to go along with eight boards and a steal. The Bucks' forward finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds on the night to notch his fourth double-double this month. The one blemish on the night for Portis came at the free-throw line, where he went just 2-of-8 and he's now shooting a season-low 62.5 percent from the charity stripe in March.

Antetokounmpo's big night helps Bucks trounce Spurs 130-94

Antetokounmpo, Lopez lead Bucks past Raptors, 118-111

Retreats to bench Sunday Portis isn't starting Sunday against the Raptors.

Impact Portis drew the start Thursday against the Pacers and posted 16 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes. However, he'll retreat to the bench with Brook Lopez back in action Sunday.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Near double-double as starter Portis closed with 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks over 33 minutes during Thursday's 139-123 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Portis was back in the starting lineup with Brook Lopez (ankle) sidelined and nearly posted another double-double. Across 19 starts this season, Portis has averaged 16.8 points and 10.8 rebounds in 30.6 minutes. However, as a reserve (40 games), he's posted 12.3 points and 9.0 rebounds in 23.7 minutes.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Portis will join the first five for Thursday's matchup with the Pacers.

Impact Portis will step into the starting center spot in place of Brook Lopez (ankle) alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in the frontcourt. Portis has double-doubled in each of his last three starts, averaging 19.7 points and 12.3 rebounds on 61.5 percent shooting from the field in that span.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in bench role Portis produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds over 19 minutes during Monday's 133-124 win over the Kings.

Impact The return of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the impressive play of Brook Lopez has forced Portis to adapt to a lesser role off the bench, and he struggled to make an impact in this game despite playing close to 20 minutes. Portis is averaging just 4.2 points per game in his last five games off the bench, and his fantasy value will continue to plummet if he can't bounce back from that negative run soon.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in bench role Portis will come off the bench Monday night against the Kings, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Portis fared well in three straight starts while Giannis Antetokounmpo recovered from a hand injury, but he'll return to his usual bench role with Antetokounmpo back in action Monday night. Portis hasn't had a big role on the offensive end as a reserve of late, as he's been held to seven points or fewer in his last four matchups off the bench.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches another double-double Portis logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors.

Impact Portis has started three straight games in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand), and he has posted a double-double in each of those contests. The veteran had been struggling mightily prior to entering the starting five, averaging just 4.5 points on 31.8 percent shooting over his previous four contests. It's clear that Portis is most valuable as a fantasy asset when he's starting -- he's averaging 16.8 points and 10.9 boards in that role this season versus 12.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a reserve -- but he'll likely return to the bench when Antetokounmpo is able to return.

Records double-double in win Portis finished Thursday's 118-113 victory over Brooklyn with 28 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes.

Impact Portis started for the second game in a row with Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) sidelined and posted a second consecutive double-double, showing efficiency from the field and energy on the glass. Portis will remain a valuable fantasy asset for as long as he remains in the starting lineup, but Antetokounmpo's injury isn't expected to keep him sidelined much longer.

Lopez comes up big, Bucks edge short-handed Nets 118-113

Brook Lopez had 24 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high nine blocks and the Milwaukee Bucks outlasted the short-handed Brooklyn Nets 118-113 on Thursday night

MARCH 10, 2023 • Associated Press

Top rebounder in starting lineup Portis racked up 16 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 134-123 victory over Orlando.

Impact Portis led all players in rebounds, posting a double-double performance while getting the start due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness). Portis has recorded at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in 31 games this year.

Bucks beat Magic 134-123 for 18th win in 19 games

Brook Lopez scored 26 points, Khris Middleton and Jevon Carter each added 24 points and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Orlando Magic 134-123 for their 18th win in 19 games

MARCH 8, 2023 • Associated Press

Enters starting five Tuesday Portis will start Tuesday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Potis gets another look with the starting unit in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness), who will sit out Tuesday's affair. Portis should see a corresponding minutes increase as a result, though it's just temporary until Antetokounmpo is ready to rejoin the action.

MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles despite victory Portis supplied zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 139-117 win over the Magic.

Impact Portis failed to score for the first time this season. The 27-year-old big man also played his second-fewest minutes of the campaign in Wednesday's blowout win. Portis should retain a healthy frontcourt bench role moving forward, but he has more competition for bench minutes in the form of Jae Crowder, who the Bucks acquired prior to the trade deadline.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench role Portis is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact The 28-year-old delivered 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one block in 21 minutes as a spot starter Sunday against Houston, but he'll shift back to the bench Tuesday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (quadriceps) rejoining the lineup. Portis has averaged 13.5 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 24.8 minutes across his 33 appearances off the bench this season.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches double figures in start Portis racked up 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 win over the Suns.

Impact Portis got the start in place of the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad), finishing as one of four Bucks in double figures while finishing four rebounds shy of a double-double. Portis has recorded 10 or more points with five or more rebounds in nine of his last 10 games.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Sunday Portis will start Sunday's matchup versus the Suns, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad) out, Portis will slide into the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 21. Across 14 appearances as a starter, Portis has averaged 16.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 31.1 minutes and should play a prominent role versus Phoenix.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Film study: Giannis Antetokounmpo's injury, Bobby Portis' return and Jae Crowder's debut Despite Antetokounmpo leaving the game early with a knee injury, the Bucks welcomed Crowder and welcomed back Portis by crushing the Heat.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Double-doubles in return Portis (knee) notched 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Friday's 128-99 win over the Heat.

Impact Though he handled relatively light minutes off the bench in his first game since Jan. 23, Portis still came through with the goods for fantasy managers. Though head coach Mike Budenholzer could look to manage Portis' minutes a bit over the next game or two, the big man could settle back into a fantasy-friendly role in the event Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is forced to miss time after exiting late in the first quarter of Friday's contest. Portis is averaging 14.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per contest while shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 83.6 percent from the free-throw line through 48 appearances on the season, though much of his production came when the Bucks were missing either or both of Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton due to injury.
