• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Flirts with double-double in win

  2H ago • By RotoWire

  Porter notched 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 121-119 victory over the Raptors. Porter was one rebound shy of a double-double, marking a third time where he's fallen just short of the milestone. Porter is trying to build on a solid 2023-24 campaign where he set new career highs in free throw percentage and minutes played. He also had 16 double-doubles last season, so these narrow misses should convert more often as the season progresses.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Another 20-point effort

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Saturday's 129-103 win over the Jazz. Porter reached the 20-point mark for the second consecutive contest, a sign of improvement after not doing so in his first four contests. He's been constantly attempting double-digit shots, so the points will eventually come, although he's primed to have a slightly more significant role on offense as long as Jamal Murray (concussion) remains sidelined or less than 100 percent healthy. Porter is shooting 47 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three in his six appearances.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Drops 26 in Friday's loss

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Porter accumulated 26 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 119-116 loss to the Timberwolves. It was Porter's best scoring performance of the young season, as he drained at least three three-pointers for the third time in five contests. After a cold start from beyond the arc, the 26-year-old forward has gone 7-for-14 from downtown over the last two games. Porter's also been busier than usual on the glass -- his 7.4 boards per game would be a career high, and he's pulled down at least five rebounds in every appearance so far.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Solid in blowout loss

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Productive in Thursday's outing

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
