Bobby Portis DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (rest) won't suit up against Detroit on Sunday. He had a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double when these clubs met on Friday evening. However, his services won't be needed for this one, especially since Milwaukee has nothing to gain or lose on Sunday. Brook Lopez (rest) also won't play, and Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is doubtful. As such, Kyle Kuzma (ankle), who is probable, should get some meaningful minutes. Pete Nance and Chris Livingston may also be worth considering for DFS lineups.

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.
