Out Wednesday with elbow issue
Portis has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Detroit due to a right elbow contusion, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Portis hadn't appeared on Milwaukee's initial injury report before he was unexpectedly ruled out approximately 90 minutes before tipoff. Starting center Brook Lopez has logged at least 35 minutes in three of Milwaukee's last six games, and a similar workload may be in store with Portis unavailable. The Bucks could also need Taurean Prince to pick up extra minutes at power forward, while rookie Tyler Smith could be a candidate to enter the rotation.

Productive off bench Tuesday
Portis finished with 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 99-85 victory over the Raptors.
Analysis
The veteran big continues to struggle from beyond the arc, but Portis still managed to post solid numbers on the night. He's drained multiple threes only once in 11 games to begin the season, shooting a career-low 24.3 percent from downtown, but Portis has maintained a decent fantasy floor with 12.9 points and 8.2 boards a contest.

Bounces back in loss
Portis notched 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 113-107 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis
The 29-year-old forward led the bench in scoring in a bounce-back game, during which he also finished as the club's second-highest scorer behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (43). Portis has been inconsistent while shooting 45.4 percent from the field, which would be his lowest mark during his tenure in Milwaukee. Through 10 regular-season outings, the big man has averaged 12.5 points and 8.2 rebounds across 25.1 minutes per game.

Shooting struggles in loss
Portis posted four points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Friday's 116-94 loss to New York.
Analysis
For the first time in eight appearances, Portis failed to make multiple baskets and ended up playing a season-low 17 minutes. Given his role, Portis' production tends to fluctuate, and given he averaged 13.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks over his first eight games, it's safe to say the veteran forward will bounce back eventually.

Logs 19 points from bench
Portis supplied 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and six rebounds in 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-100 win over Utah.
Analysis
After a night with the first unit in place of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Portis returned to the bench to resume his typical sixth-man role with the offense. His 21/18 double-double against the Cavaliers on Monday represented his most impressive double-double line in recent memory, matching an 18-rebound total he accrued during the first round of the 2023-24 NBA Playoffs. Portis' overall numbers will remain solid with the second unit.

Slides to bench Thursday
Portis will retreat to the bench in Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
The 29-year-old forward produced a stellar performance while getting the start for Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh) in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland, during which he posted 21 points (10-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 39 minutes. With Antetokounmpo back in the lineup, Portis will slide to the bench and receive his normal workload in the second unit.
