Nuggets' Michael Porter: Posts double-double Monday
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
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
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
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.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Scores 18 points Sunday
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 was efficient from a shooting perspective and tied Jamal Murray as Denver's second-highest scorer in this matchup behind Nikola Jokic, who posted his eighth triple-double of the season. 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.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Posts 19 points in victory
Porter logged 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 win over the Jazz.
Porter shot over 50 percent from the field during the blowout win. He snapped a short two-game double-double streak, but they have been coming fast and furious over the past two weeks, with three double-doubles over the past five games.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Goes for 24 points Saturday
Porter supplied 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-102 victory over the Lakers.
Porter was extremely efficient Saturday and was one of the main reasons behind the Nuggets' impressive second-half performance in the win over the Lakers. Even though Porter finished just two points shy of his season-high mark, this was the third time over his last five outings in which he'a scored at least 24 points. The small forward is averaging 20.5 points per game in 11 outings this month.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Leads Denver in scoring Friday
Porter recorded 24 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 101-94 loss to New Orleans.
Porter embraced a more significant role on offense Friday with Nikola Jokic (personal) sidelined, resulting in his fifth game with at least 20 points across seven outings in November. During that seven-game stretch, the star forward is averaging 21.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting an impressive 52.8 percent from the field and 48.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Sinks five triples in win
Porter ended with 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 135-122 victory over Miami.
Porter has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games. During that stretch, he's averaged 22.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 48.8 percent from deep. With Aaron Gordon (calf) sidelined for a few weeks, Porter will have increased responsibilities on both ends moving forward.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Hits season-high six threes in win
Porter dropped 24 points (7-16 FG, 4-4 FT, 6-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and a steal over 41 minutes in Wednesday's 124-122 victory over the Thunder.
Porter hit a season-high six three-pointers in Wednesday's win and went perfect from the free-throw line for the third consecutive game. He is averaging 17.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks in 36.9 minutes this season.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Flirts with double-double in win
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 the third time 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
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 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
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.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Paces Denver in scoring
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.
