Bobby Portis DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis has been suspended for 25 games for violating the league's anti-drug policy. Portis's agent confirmed the suspension and said that his client unintentionally took a pain medication called Tramadol instead of Toradol. Portis had been more active lately, helping the Bucks fill in for the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), who is questionable to return on Thursday against the Clippers. Portis averaged 16.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in his 29.8 minutes per game over his last five contests. Without Portis, the Bucks lose a key depth piece and will have to rely more heavily on the recently acquired Kyle Kuzma in addition to Taurean Prince, Brook Lopez, and Andre Jackson Jr. Portis will be eligible to return April 8 against the Timberwolves with just four games left in the regular season.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (personal) will play on Wednesday against Charlotte. He missed the last six games due to a personal matter. But he was upgraded to probable on Tuesday night, so fantasy managers had hope he would be back. Portis will likely head back to the bench, considering Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (groin), and Brook Lopez (back) are good to go. But with a favorable matchup versus the Hornets on the agenda, Portis deserves a spot in any fantasy lineup.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis (personal) will not return to the lineup on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Initially, there was a chance Portis would be available after the team listed him as doubtful for the game. However, Milwaukee has now ruled him out, meaning Portis will miss a sixth consecutive game. Andre Jackson Jr. and Taurean Prince will be the only regular starters in the Bucks lineup on Monday, so players like AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr. are expected to step up for the team.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (personal) has joined the long list of injuries for Monday due to personal reasons and is considered doubtful to suit up against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Portis has missed the team's last six games due to personal reasons, and it seems likely that he'll make it seven in a row on Monday. With the long injury report including Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (groin), and Khris Middleton (ankle) all ruled out, the Bucks will have to reach deep into their reserves. AJ Green, Gary Trent Jr., and Pat Connaughton will all likely see some added minutes. Green is in the top of the three in streaming options after dropping 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals off of the bench in their last game.

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (personal) remains out ahead of Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Portis will now miss his fourth game in a row due to personal reasons. The Bucks haven't given a timetable on Portis, so for now fantasy managers should consider him as day-to-day. Portis has seen his playing time take a dip over the last few weeks. It'll be interesting to see what kind of role he has in the rotation once he's cleared to play again. The Bucks will likely use a committee approach between Pat Connaughton, Taurean Prince, and Gary Trent Jr. until Portis returns. Between the three, Trent appears to be getting the biggest boost in playing time.
