Comes close to double-double
Portis registered 19 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analyse
Portis is expected to continue playing off the bench even if Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) remains sidelined, as the veteran big man has proven to be very effective as a second-unit member. Portis has scored in double digits in his last 12 games, a span in which he's averaging 16.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 24.3 minutes per game off the bench.

Impresses off bench in win
Portis registered 29 points (11-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 victory over the Pacers.
Analyse
Portis has been dealing with a back injury but ended up playing both legs of this back-to-back set, and the veteran forward posted an impressive stat line as the Bucks snapped a four-game losing skid. Portis has been an outstanding contributor off the bench, as this was his 11th consecutive game with double-digit points, and he's also posted two double-doubles in his last four appearances. Portis is averaging 15.6 points per game off the bench since the All-Star break.

Will play Sunday
Portis (back) will play Sunday versus the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Analyse
Portis will power through the back issues and make himself available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's averaging 13.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 triples per game this season.

Back on injury report
Portis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to a back strain.
Analyse
Portis was sidelined Tuesday against Phoenix due to a back injury, but he's suited up in two straight games, totaling 33 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 53 minutes. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), Myles Turner (knee) and Ousmane Dieng (illness) also questionable, Milwaukee's frontcourt could be extremely shorthanded versus Indiana.

Returns from back issue
Portis provided 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Heat.
Analyse
Portis returned to action Thursday following a one-game absence due to a back contusion. He served as a much-needed spark for Milwaukee's bench, finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Giannis Antetokounmpo. Portis has been highly efficient in March, averaging 15.3 points per game while shooting over 56.5 percent from the field across six outings. With Milwaukee's frontcourt finally reaching full health, Portis has settled back into his signature high-usage reserve role, where he continues to be a reliable source of points and triples.

Analyse
Portis sat out of Tuesday's game against Phoenix while nursing a back issue, but he's received the green light to suit up Thursday. He's gotten off to a solid start to March and is averaging 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in five outings.
