Nuggets' Michael Porter: Another 20-point effort
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
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
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 Denver 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: Goes cold in Game 7 loss
Porter posted seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and two blocks across 34 minutes during Sunday's 98-90 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.Porter went just 1-for-6 from the three-point line, continuing a rough series for the sharpshooter. Over the seven-game span, Porter scored fewer than 10 points on five occasions. It was an unfortunate end for Porter after he managed to put together a strong season. Despite the poor postseason performance, Porter should be able to maintain mid-round value in most fantasy formats next season.
