Bobby Portis: Should You Pick Him Up?

Should You Pick Up Bobby Portis?

Bobby Portis looks like he may be getting his time to shine. The Bulls back-court has been depeleted due to injuries and now it gets even thinner. There is no timetable yet, but Taj Gibson strained his hamstring in a game on the first of March and did not return. Gibson has not really impressed much as of late anyway and Portis looks like he may be primed to make an impact the rest of this season for the Bulls.

Bobby Portis has over the past two weeks managed to get 10 points and eight rebounds on about 24 minutes per game. With the Gibson injury he should see a nice increase and should be a good play across most formats of fantasy basketball including daily leagues.

You should already have Portis rostered if you are playing in a dynasty league, but if you do not and he is floating around on the waiver wire somehow you need to act quickly and pick him up. With the way the Bulls contract are playing out this summer Portis could be a sneaky pick in even a more shallow keeper league format. As long as Portis continues to grow and develop his game he should be locked in for 32-36 minutes per game as the starting power forward next year.
