Bobby Portis coming off Bucks' bench in NBA Finals Game 1
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis is playing with the second unit Tuesday in the team's game against the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Portis started the last few games of the Eastern Conference Finals, but that's changing on Tuesday. After missing time due to a hyperextended knee, Giannis Antetokounmpo is returning to the court and the starting lineup. As a result, Portis will come off the bench in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Our models project Portis for 13.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 27.5 FanDuel points across 18.7 minutes of action.
