After totaling 22 points on 6-of-21 shooting in the first three games of the series, Porter was far better in Game 4. He was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, taking on an enlarged role after Damian Lillard exited with a lower left leg injury. With Bucks coach Doc Rivers saying after the loss that the outlook for Lillard is “not promising,” Porter may be thrust into the starting lineup for Game 5 on Tuesday. Trailing three games to one, Milwaukee’s goal is to get the series back home for Game 6.

While most fantasy leagues have already concluded, Porter’s improved production should not be ignored. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While Gary Trent Jr. (17 points, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers) has offered improved production since the Bucks lost Damian Lillard to deep-vein thrombosis, Porter has provided greater value overall. Both players are worth rostering in active leagues for Milwaukee’s final two regular-season games.
