• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Posts double-double Monday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter contributed 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 130-129 victory over the Kings. Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook stole the show in Monday's tight win, but Porter made his presence felt on the glass after experiencing a relatively reduced role on offense. The six-year forward recorded his fourth double-double of the season, and even though this was a down game for him, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. He's averaging 18.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game since the beginning of December.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Decent stat line in win Friday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter closed Friday's 120-98 victory over the Clippers with 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes. Even though Nikola Jokic has been the Nuggets' best player by a wide margin this season, Porter's contributions can't be overlooked, particularly in a season during which Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon have struggled with injuries. Porter has been remarkably consistent in recent weeks, scoring more than 15 points in all but one of his last 11 contests. He's averaging 20.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in that 11-game stretch.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Bounces back in blowout win

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter ended with 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 victory over the Hawks. The 26-year-old delivered a productive performance while amassing the second-highest scoring mark behind Nikola Jokic (48 points). Porter had an extremely efficient bounce-back outing after he struggled in Saturday's loss to the Wizards, during which he totaled only 11 points while shooting 5-for-14 from the field. The forward has shot only 1-for-10 from three-point range over his last two games, though he is still shooting 38.8 percent from downtown across 22 regular-season games.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Extends impressive streak

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter closed with 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-115 win over Golden State. Porter seems to be overtaking Jamal Murray as the Nuggets' second-best offensive option based on his excellent numbers over the last few weeks. The forward has scored at least 18 points in each of his last seven appearances, averaging 20.3 points per game and shooting 56.2 percent from the floor in that span. Porter might not be a flashy player or a human highlight reel, but there's no question he's been the Nuggets' most efficient and consistent player if excluding Nikola Jokic.

  Porter finished with 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.

Porter has been on a roll of late with 17 or more points in six straight appearances, averaging 20.0 points and shooting 56 percent from the field in that span.
