Another double-double Saturday
Portis accumulated 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 112-103 win over Chicago.
Analysis
With Giannis Antetokounmpo making his return from a calf strain, Portis shifted back to the second unit but remained productive, recording his fifth double-double of the season, all of which have come in the last seven games. Over that stretch, the veteran forward is averaging 17.6 points, 9.7 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.1 assists while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor and an impressive 50.0 percent (15-for-30) from beyond the arc.

Shifts back to bench
Portis isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Chicago.
Analysis
Portis had started back-to-back games, but he'll return to the second unit now that Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available. The Bucks will start Kevin Porter, Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. Portis is averaging 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game this season.

Records double-double
Portis provided 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 125-104 loss to Memphis.
Analysis
Portis was efficient from the field and active on the glass en route to his fourth double-double of the season. It's fair to say the veteran forward is going through his most prolific stretch of the campaign, as Portis has racked up all four of his double-doubles in his last six outings. He's averaging 16.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game in his five starts this season.
