Portis had 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and seven rebounds over 27 minutes during Monday's 116-114 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Portis drained a season-high three three-pointers to help propel the Bucks to victory, and has been one of the most important pieces for Milwaukee off the bench. On the season, Portis is averaging 9.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks and 1.4 threes made.

Portis logged two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes during Milwaukee's 128-100 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Portis entered Tuesday's game having connected on 53.8 percent of his field-goal attempts over his last three outings, but the veteran forward struggled during the loss as he matched a season-low scoring output. The 11th-year pro is averaging 8.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 19.4 minutes per game this season while shooting just 39.7 percent from the field (including 34.5 percent from three on 3.6 3PA/G).

Portis totaled 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 135-133 loss to Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Portis drilled multiple three-pointers for the second consecutive game, turning in his highest scoring performance of the young season Saturday. The veteran continues to produce in his familiar bench role for Milwaukee, averaging 10.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game through six contests.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
