Porter amassed 15 points (5-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 102-87 loss to Oklahoma City. Porter is looking to build on an impressive 2023-24 campaign, and the Nuggets will rely on his dependable mid-range shot and rebounding skills to complement the rest of the first unit. The loss of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is bound to provide more opportunities for Porter. The Missouri product can be streaky, popping for over 30 points one game and regressing in the next, but he's shown yearly improvement in all facets of his game.

Porter scored 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding eight rebounds in 23 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 preseason win over the Timberwolves. There wasn't much defense being played Thursday, but that suited Porter just fine. The 26-year-old forward has been in midseason form from the jump during the Nuggets' exhibition schedule, producing 26.2 points per 36 minutes while shooting 61.0 percent from the floor (25-for-41) and 37.5 percent (6-for-16) from three-point range.

Porter notched 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason loss to the Thunder. The Nuggets decided to rest Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic, while Jamal Murray (knee) was ruled out due to a minor injury, so Porter embraced the role of being a go-to player on offense and led a depleted Nuggets roster in scoring in this 30-point loss. Porter and the Nuggets have one more preseason game left against the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Porter posted 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and three steals across 25 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns. Porter returned to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to rest purposes, and he looked sharp on both ends of the court. Once Denver's regular season begins Oct. 24 against the Thunder, Porter projects to operate as Denver's third option on offense behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Porter will start Sunday's preseason game against the Suns. Porter was held out of Denver's last game for rest purposes, but he will return to play Sunday. With Porter and Aaron Gordon (undisclosed) back in the lineup, the Nuggets will get to run with their projected Opening Night starting lineup.
