Look of the Day for 3/20: With no Giannis, Bobby Portis can step up

Wagner shot the lights out to burn our under ticket on Tuesday night, bringing our Look of the Day record to 0-2 on the week. We still have plenty of time to scratch out a profitable week, so let's switch over to the NBA for our favorite prop bet of Wednesday's slate. 

Look of the Day: Bobby Portis over 15.5 points (-125 DraftKings)

Bucks vs. Celtics, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

Giannis Antetokounmpo won't be on the floor for the Milwaukee Bucks against the Boston Celtics, which means it's Bobby Portis's time to shine.

Antetokounmpo has missed four games this season. In those four contests, Portis averaged 23.3 points per game and scored more than 15 points in all four. He also put up 15.0 shot attempts per game, a much higher number than his season average of 10.8.

The Bucks played their most recent game against the Phoenix Suns without Antetokounmpo, and Portis put up a season-high 31 points on 20 field-goal attempts. The Celtics are a tough matchup for power forwards, but this is a play on volume. The last time Milwaukee faced off against Boston, Portis scored 28 points in just 21 minutes off the bench. He should play closer to 30 minutes Wednesday night with no Antetokounmpo, so we're expecting another busy shooting night for Portis.
