Bobby Portis Jr.

Bobby Portis Jr. (eye) is off of the injury report for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Fantasy Impact

Portis' eye injury is no longer an issue, so he has been removed from the team's injury report and should be fully good to go for Friday's game against the 76ers. He will be primed for a lot of work with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) set to be sidelined for the next few weeks.

Bobby Portis Jr. is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Portis is good to go despite being downgraded to questionable. He should remain in his usual role for the Bucks.

A late addition to the injury report places Bobby Portis' status in doubt for Wednesday's matchup against the Pistons. The forward is dealing with a left eye abrasion and has been downgraded to questionable.

Fantasy Impact

His availability will likely hinge on his ability to complete pregame warmups without issue. If Portis is forced to sit, Kyle Kuzma would project for increased playing time at power forward, while Jericho Sims could see an expanded role at center.

Bobby Portis Jr. flirted with a double-double for the Bucks Saturday night, grabbing seven rebounds and scoring 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3PT) while also dishing out two assists in a 129-116 loss to the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Portis Jr. continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with four or more rebounds and eight or more points in each of his last five games. The forward continues to make the most no matter his role on the floor, averaging 10.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 19.9% so far this season.

Bobby Portis stepped up in Thursday's loss to the 76ers, recording 19 points (9-of-14 FG), eight rebounds, one steal, and one three-pointer in 28 minutes. He was selected by head coach Doc Rivers to help cover for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is out with a strained groin.

Fantasy Impact

Although Portis was productive, his usage came with some caveats. Myles Turner matched his playing time with 28 minutes, and Gary Trent Jr. actually started the third quarter in place of Portis, indicating the rotation was influenced by the matchup. Despite the potential for fluctuating minutes, the lack of reliable frontcourt depth in Milwaukee makes Portis a worthy risk in deeper leagues while Antetokounmpo is sidelined for the next one to two weeks.
