3 years agoMilwaukee Bucks power forward/center
Bobby Portis (hamstring) and power forward
Semi Ojeleye (calf) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against San Antonio. The duo have yet to appear during the regular season for Milwaukee, as
Jordan Nwora has been the primary beneficiary of added playing time. The absences of Porter and Ojeleye are particularly problematic when coupled with
Brook Lopez (back) sidelined as well, which opens the door for
Sandro Mamukelashvili. Portis holds more season-long fantasy relevance of the duo, but the next shot that either will have to return to action comes Monday vs. the Pacers.

3 years agoMilwaukee Bucks power forward/center
Bobby Portis (hamstring) and power forward
Semi Ojeleye (calf) have been deemed unavailable for Thursday's contest against the Heat. The duo missed Tuesday's season opener, which allowed
Pat Connaughton to log 30 minutes off the bench and
Jordan Nwora to get 26 -- both figure to see similar usage Thursday without two key frontcourt cogs in the mix. When healthy, Portis is a borderline season-long fantasy asset due to his volume and newfound efficiency; he shot a career-high 52.3 percent from the field last season, adding 7.1 boards per contest. The next chance that Portis or Ojeleye will have to take the court comes Saturday vs. the Spurs.
