Friday’s game will be the sixth that Portis has missed due to a sprained wrist. Pete Nance’s playing time has increased recently, and that should remain the case. However, he is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues since Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner are available.

Portis will be sidelined for a fifth straight game, which should continue to provide extra minutes for Pete Nance. He may hold some upside in this game with how shorthanded the Bucks will be, but he is still a risky streaming choice.

Portis will miss a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday, which should mean more playing time for Pete Nance and Taurean Prince. While Nance started Sunday’s loss to the Clippers, Prince’s final stat line was far superior.

Portis has been ruled out for a second straight game, which frees up additional minutes for Pete Nance and Taurean Prince. Neither has been productive enough to merit streaming in fantasy leagues, even with the Bucks’ many absences.

Portis missed Wednesday’s game against Portland, though he could return against San Antonio. Pete Nance and Taurean Prince took on extra minutes with Portis sidelined, though neither is worth streaming outside of deep leagues if Portis remains out.

Portis was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Wednesday’s contest in Portland, as the absence will mark the veteran forward’s fifth missed game of the season. He’s averaging 13.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest; Pete Nance could see an uptick in minutes with Portis unavailable.

Portis (ribs) returned from a one-game absence on Monday, but he is now dealing with a wrist injury instead. Pete Nance and Jericho Sims should be in line for extra minutes if Portis is unavailable.

Portis is available after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Suns. He’ll provide depth and production off the bench and is worth rostering in some 12-team leagues.

Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo carried the Bucks’ offense in this one as the duo combined for 60 points in the win over the Pacers on Sunday. Even with Antetokounmpo active, Portis saw massive usage in this game. He’s provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bucks have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Portis has been dealing with a back strain for a bit, but he has only missed one game. The veteran forward most recently logged 27 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. With Myles Turner (knee) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) also on the injury report, the Bucks could be severely shorthanded on Sunday, with no great streaming options in the frontcourt.

Following a one-game absence with a back injury, Portis was back playing his typical role off the bench. Though it wasn’t enough for the Bucks to get the win, he has his highest-scoring performance since Feb. 24 and shot at least 50 percent from the floor for a ninth straight game. Portis is a solid reserve that ranks inside the top-100 in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks. However, his limited minutes will continue to cap his upside.

Portis will be back following a one-game absence. Pete Nance filled out the backup center minutes behind Myles Turner, but with both Portis and Jericho Sims (knee) returning, Nance likely won’t see the floor much.

Portis did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Suns, which led the Bucks to rely even more on starters Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. That likely remains the case if Portis can’t play against the Heat, and they’re already rostered in most, if not all, fantasy leagues.

Both Portis and Jericho Sims (knee) will be sidelined for this game, leaving Milwaukee thin down low. Pete Nance should fill out the backup center minutes behind Myles Turner. Nance had six points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes in Sunday’s loss to Orlando.

Milwaukee will have all of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner available for Tuesday’s tilt with Phoenix, but frontcourt depth will be thin if Portis and Sims are ruled out. If the pair are ultimately sidelined, Pete Nance could log a few extra minutes, but Nance isn’t worth a look in fantasy hoops leagues.

Portis played 28 minutes with the Bucks losing by 39. The 31-year-old power forward had a nice game with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Bucks within striking distance of the Magic. Portis was on fire from behind the three-point line making 4-of-5 attempts. He remains one of the most important bench players in the league. The Bucks have four games coming up in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Suns on Tuesday.

Portis shot the ball reasonably well on Sunday, but that was the lone positive for him and the Bucks. Milwaukee was on the wrong end of a 27-0 run that spanned the third and fourth quarters, going from leading by as much as 16 to getting run out of the United Center. Portis has a higher fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench due to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s calf strain. The Bucks open a four-game Week 19 on Monday against the Celtics.

Portis entered Tuesday’s game in a bit of a slump from beyond the arc, shooting 4-of-13 over his prior four games. He was a lot better against the Heat, shooting 5-of-10 on the night and contributing 21 points off the bench. Fantasy managers would have hoped to get more from Portis in the rebounding category, but he’s usually been solid in that area. The Bucks will need a similar performance from him on Wednesday when they host the surging Cavaliers.

Portis showed again Thursday why he leads all active bench players in double-doubles with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Thunder. The 31-year-old small forward seems to be over his hip injury. With the All-Star break approaching, Portis and the Bucks are off until Friday, February 20 against the Pelicans.

The Bucks secured a third straight win on Friday, with Portis’ scoring playing a key role. In his return from a two-game absence, he finished as one of three Bucks players to score at least 20 points, as he used efficient shooting to reach his high point total. The veteran forward, with Kyle Kuzma (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) both currently sidelined, will continue to function as one of Milwaukee’s most reliable frontcourt options. His offensive production may be key against the Magic on Monday.

Portis is good to go for Friday’s contest, which is great news for a Bucks team already without frontcourt members Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kyle Kuzma (calf). Portis figures to slot in alongside Myles Turner in the opening unit, should have several opportunities to produce, and ultimately could log a nice final stat line. Friday will mark his return from a two-game absence.

Portis did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Pelicans, resulting in Amir Coffey moving into the starting lineup. However, Coffey played 25 minutes while Jericho Sims played 28 off the bench. The former is the safer streaming option if Portis remains out.

This will be a second consecutive absence for Portis, which led to Amir Coffey sliding into the starting lineup. Coffey didn’t make much of a contribution in the box score, but Kyle Kuzma had a fantastic performance and could provide an encore against New Orleans.

Portis will not play due to a right hip contusion, which makes Kyle Kuzma’s role that much more important for the Bucks. There should also be more minutes available to Pete Nance and Andre Jackson Jr., but neither player is worth streaming.

Portis is dealing with a right hip contusion, and he’s in danger of sitting out against the Bucks’ Central Division rival after his late addition to the injury report. If Portis is sidelined, Kyle Kuzma could take on an even larger role, and Amir Coffey could earn some additional run off the bench.

A double-figure scorer in nine consecutive games, Portis’ 19 points were the most in a game for him since he hit that number in a January 19 win over the Hawks. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for the foreseeable future, Portis will have every opportunity to do more offensively. However, his fantasy value over the past two weeks has not cracked the top-100 in eight-cat formats. While this may give some shallow-league managers pause, those competing in standard leagues should still look to add Portis if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Portis entered the starting lineup for this game, and if he remains there, fantasy managers should enjoy a long stretch of strong production. He fell two assists shy of a triple-double but still recorded his first double-double in nearly three weeks. Portis is currently rostered in just 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) set to miss an extended period of time, Portis should be considered a must-roster player as long as he’s starting.
