• Nets' Michael Porter: Scores 28 points with five treys

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter ended Thursday's 106-95 loss to Miami with 28 points (10-24 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes. Porter has been struggling from an efficiency standpoint the past two games, going 14-for-35 from the floor and 7-for-21 from three-point range. He's shooting 49.3 percent from the floor and 39.6 percent from distance on the season, though, so it should only be a matter of time until Porter finds his rhythm again.

• Nets' Michael Porter: Scores 12 points with 11 shots

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter accumulated 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-82 victory over the Bucks. Porter has been the Nets' best player by a wide margin this season, but he didn't have his best showing Sunday -- at least from a statistical perspective. Porter was coming off four straight games in which he cleared the 30-point mark, so some regression was inevitable. Based on how important he's been for Brooklyn offensively this season, expect Porter to have a prominent role once again when the Nets face the Heat on Thursday.

• Nets' Michael Porter: Pours in game-high 35 Saturday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter chipped in 35 points (14-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-101 victory over New Orleans. The 27-year-old forward led all scorers in the contest and appeared to be 100 percent after sitting out the Nets' last game Thursday on the second night of a back-to-back for maintenance purposes. Porter has topped 30 points in each of the first three games he's played in December, averaging 34.3 points, 8.7 boards, 5.7 threes, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game to begin the month.

• Nets' Michael Porter: Not listed on injury report

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter (back) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Porter sat out Thursday's loss to the Jazz, with that game coming as the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action with his usual minutes Saturday night. Porter's return will likely result in Tyrese Martin or Terance Mann heading back to the second unit.

• Nets' Michael Porter: Ruled out for Thursday

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter (back) won't play Thursday against the Jazz, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. The Nets are calling this injury management, so this is essentially a maintenance day on the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Wednesday's win over the Bulls, Porter had 33 points (10-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes. Noah Clowney could see a usage rate bump Thursday, and players like Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams could be more involved.
