  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Plays through illness for 18 points

    Porter recorded 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to Phoenix.

    Porter drew the start despite battling an unspecified illness but was fairly productive in the loss. Porter has plodded along with pedestrian scoring numbers over the past three games due to lower-than-expected shot volume, but his 16 attempts Wednesday is a move in the right direction. Porter can soar well above 20 points with enough opportunity, but he sometimes lacks the necessary aggression to make those opportunities happen on his own.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Good to go

    Porter (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

    Porter was in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 9, but he will ultimately play through an illness. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual starting role at forward.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Returns to injury report

    Porter is probable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to an illness.

    Porter was dealing with an illness before suiting up in Monday's victory over Memphis, but he worked with an abridged workload, delivering 11 points (4-7 FG) and four rebounds in 22 minutes of action. His status will need to be monitored, but he appears firmly on track for Wednesday's contest.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Cleared for action

    Porter (illness) will play Monday versus Memphis.

    Porter and Nikola Jokic (back/hip) are available Monday, while Aaron Gordon (foot) and Jamal Murray (ankle) are out. The specifics of Porter's ailment are unclear, but no minutes restriction has been mentioned for the 25-year-old.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Dealing with illness

    Porter is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness.

    Porter and Aaron Gordon (foot) are late additions to the injury report, joining Nikola Jokic (back/hip) and Jamal Murray (ankle) as questionable. Given almost their entire starting lineup is questionable, it's difficult to project what the Nuggets' rotation will look like until we get clarity on who'll be available.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Extremely efficient in win Thursday

    Porter finished Thursday's 113-100 win over the Knicks with 31 points (13-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds in 37 minutes.

    There's no question the Nuggets will go as far as Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray can carry them, but the team gets an entirely new dimension on offense when Porter can knock down shots consistently. This 13-for-16 performance was one of his best showings of the entire campaign, and Porter is arguably going through one of his most productive stretches of the season. He's scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 23.0 points per game while shooting 50 percent from deep and 60.9 percent from the field in that span.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Balls out in fourth quarter

    Porter closed Tuesday's 115-112 win over the Timberwolves with 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes.

    Porter was a prime catalyst in the final stanza, scoring 13 of his 26 points in the final 12 minutes. Occasionally, the game doesn't work in Porter's favor, but he usually registers solid two-way numbers when he sees more than 30 minutes. The 6-foot-10 forward is especially effective when the opposition suffers a height disadvantage, and Porter excelled against the Timberwolves' shorthanded frontcourt.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Strong two-way play Sunday

    Porter ended Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 37 minutes.

    Porter is having an outstanding year as a secondary offensive alternative in Denver's two-man game of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray but has been able to step up when needed. Porter has scored 20 or more points in four of his eight March appearances, averaging 18.8 points per game while shooting 47.3 percent from three-point range. He complements that scoring prowess with decent numbers in other categories, making him a valuable asset in fantasy and real life.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Keeps firing from downtown

    Porter contributed 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 117-106 win over the Spurs.

    Porter didn't have his best performance from a fantasy perspective, as he's shown the ability to fill the stat sheet in any given game, but he's been consistent when it comes to his three-point shooting. He's made multiple threes in all but two of his 12 appearances since the end of the All-Star break, a span in which he's averaging 19.9 points per game while shooting 42.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Knocks down five threes vs. Heat

    Porter racked up 25 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and seven rebounds in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 100-88 victory over Miami.

    Porter hit five threes for the ninth time this season as he led the Nuggets in scoring Wednesday. The fifth-year forward has been on a tear as of late, shooting 50 percent or better in five of his last seven games. Porter is averaging 19.5 points on 58.8 percent shooting (including 48.8 percent from three on 6.8 3PA/G), 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 32.6 minutes per game in March.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Pops for 19 in family affair

    Porter closed with 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 125-119 win over the Raptors.

    Matched up against his younger brother Jontay Porter for the first time in their careers on an NBA court, Michael won both the battle and the war. The 25-year-old forward has scored at least 19 points in seven of 10 games since the All-Star break, averaging 20.1 points, 7.7 boards, 2.9 threes, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 40.8 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Posts 20 points in OT loss

    Porter had 20 points (8-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 overtime loss to the Suns.

    Porter nailed four three-pointers and was a key part of erasing a massive Phoenix lead in the fourth quarter. Although Porter has one of the most volatile floors on the roster, his rebounding numbers have been dependable lately. He's averaged nine rebounds per game since the All-Star break.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Perfect from field in double-double

    Porter closed with 25 points (10-10 FG, 5-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 win over the Lakers.

    Porter led all players in Saturday's contest in threes made while finishing a perfect 5-for-5 from deep and ending as one of two Nuggets with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in a winning effort. Porter, who also shot a perfect mark from the field in the win, has recorded at least 25 points and 10 rebounds five times this season, including in two straight contests.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Hits 30-point mark in win Thursday

    Porter supplied 30 points (12-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 103-97 victory over Miami.

    Porter reached the 30-point mark for the third time this season, and the fact that two of those performances have come near the end of February is encouraging for Denver, especially with the immediate future of Jamal Murray cloudy due to the right ankle sprain he suffered against Miami. Porter could pick up a bigger role on offense if Murray misses Saturday's trip to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Top scorer in season-high outing

    Porter recorded 34 points (13-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 127-112 win over Portland.

    Porter led all players in Friday's contest in scoring and threes made while ending as one of two Nuggets players with a double-double and setting a new season high in scoring in an offensive outburst. Porter has surpassed the 30-point mark in two games this season, with the other occurrence taking place Nov. 29 when he scored 30 points. Porter has connected on five or more threes in seven games, with Friday being his first such performance since Jan. 14 against Indiana.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Records double-double in win

    Porter totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 130-110 victory over Washington.

    Porter posted his first double-double since Jan. 12, when he finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds against the Pelicans. Porter has scored in double digits in nine games in a row, a span in which he's averaging 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Sinks three triples in loss

    Porter scored 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and added four rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 loss to the Kings.

    Porter has now achieved double-digit scoring outputs in his last eight games, averaging 16.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.3 steals in that span. However, his three-point efficiency has taken a dip recently, averaging only 34.3 percent from long distance. As the Nuggets look to bounce back after the break, they will likely need more consistency from beyond the arc from Porter.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Cleared for Monday

    Porter (knee) will play Monday night against the Bucks.

    Porter was added to the injury report as probable after missing Friday's matchup against the Kings, marking his first absence of the season. However, he'll be good to go for Monday and is coming off a strong 27-point performance in his last action Thursday against the Lakers.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Probable for Monday's contest

    Porter (knee) is probable to play Monday versus Milwaukee.

    Porter sat out Saturday's 135-106 loss to the Kings with right knee tendinopathy, but he looks as though he'll be ready to play Monday. The Nuggets will likely wait and see if Porter can make it through morning shootaround unscathed before formally clearing him to play ahead of the 8 p.m. ET tipoff.
