Portis registered nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 win over the Knicks.
Portis hasn't been too involved to open the 2025-26 regular season with 19.4 minutes per contest through four games. That could keep his fantasy appeal limited to deeper formats, at least while the Bucks are mostly healthy up front. In that span, Portis has averaged 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 35.9 percent shooting from the field.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Nears double-double in win
Rotowire
Portis dropped 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 21 minutes in Friday's 122-116 victory over the Raptors.
Portis has not shot the ball well, averaging 31.6 percent from the field and 20 percent from three to begin the season. However, the volume is certainly there, and he has been able to provide value in rebounds, meaning once Portis is able to get back on track regarding his efficiency, he may be a streaming option to monitor moving forward.

Portis shined off the Bucks bench in Tuesday's Game 2, providing Milwaukee with a much-needed boost while leading all players in threes made and finishing second among Bucks players in scoring and rebounds in a double-double. Portis had a breakout performance Tuesday, a game after recording just four points and eight boards in Game 1. Milwaukee will need Portis to continue the Game 2 level of play if it wants to climb back into this series against Indiana.

Portis (rest), who missed Sunday's regular-season finale against the Pistons, is expected to be available for Game 1 against the Pacers on Saturday.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Double-doubles off bench
Rotowire
Portis totaled 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 125-119 victory over Detroit.
Portis has logged three appearances since returning from a 25-game suspension due to a violation of the league's anti-drug policy, and he's scored in double digits in each of the three contests. The veteran should play a sizable role off the bench for the Bucks in the postseason, and his three appearances since his return to the hardwood show his role hasn't changed despite missing 25 games between mid-February and early April. Portis is averaging 16.3 points and 9.3 boards per game in those three contests.

Making his return from a 25-game suspension, Portis played a key role as the Bucks came back from a 20-point deficit to begin the fourth quarter. The double-double was his 10th of the season, and Portis should see a significant workload over the team's final handful of regular-season games to get him back up to speed ahead of the playoffs.

Portis started for a second straight game Friday due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Portis had another strong outing as a starter, leading both teams in points and rebounds while recording the second-most assists on the Bucks behind Damian Lillard (10).

Portis returned Wednesday from a six-game absence due to a personal matter, and he was immediately placed into the Bucks' starting five due to the late scratch of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). He and Damian Lillard (29 points) gave Milwaukee enough firepower to make up for the absence of Antetokounmpo. If Antetokounmpo is cleared to play in the Bucks' next game Friday in Atlanta, Portis will likely move to the bench and see a big reduction in minutes.
