Porter (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Porter will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set, though it appears likely he'll return for Tuesday's game against Detroit. With the seventh-year forward sidelined, Danny Wolf, Ochai Agbaji and Ziaire Williams are candidates to see increased minutes.

Nets' Michael Porter: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Porter tallied 30 points (10-25 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 39 minutes in Saturday's 107-105 win over the Pistons.
After posting a 27-point, 13-rebound double-double in Thursday's loss to Miami, Porter secured his second consecutive double-double and 12th of the campaign. The 28-year-old forward led all players in scoring, reaching the 30-point threshold for the first time since Jan. 29. He has now supplied at least three combined steals-plus-blocks in three of his last four outings, averaging 23.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 33.0 minutes per game during that span.

Nets' Michael Porter: Impressive double-double
Rotowire
Porter recorded 27 points (9-24 FG, 7-18 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 loss to the Heat.
Porter has been the Nets' best player this season by a wide margin, and he delivered another strong showing despite the 16-point loss. Porter has scored at least 25 points in four of his last six appearances, and this was his second double-double in that stretch. The star forward should remain the Nets' go-to scoring option on offense as long as he's able to stay on the hardwood consistently.

Rotowire
Porter closed with 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 loss to Cleveland.
The 27-year-old forward led all scorers on the afternoon, but only three other Nets even scored in double digits. Porter has been productive since missing the last two games before the All-Star break with knee tendinitis, and over the last six games he's averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.2 steals.

Nets' Michael Porter: Team-high 18 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
Porter logged 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during the Nets' 148-111 loss to the Celtics on Friday.
Porter entered Friday's game having scored at least 25 points in each of his three outings against Boston, and it looked like he was on his way to another big night after scoring 13 points in the first half. However, the Nets lost control of the game in the second half, which resulted in Porter and three other starters sitting for the entire fourth quarter. The veteran forward has averaged 21.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals over 32.1 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Nets' Michael Porter: Adds 26 points in loss
Rotowire
Porter closed with 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and three assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-114 loss to Dallas.
Porter once again led the Nets in scoring, notching his 25th game of the season with at least 25 points, though the 27-year-old also failed to pull down a rebound for the first time all year. Through seven games in February, the former Nuggets forward has cooled off, averaging 19.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.7 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest.

Nets' Michael Porter: Quiet from deep in loss
Rotowire
Porter finished with 18 points (8-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes in Sunday's 115-104 loss to Atlanta.
Porter led Brooklyn in scoring but struggled to find his jumper, converting just one shot from beyond the arc. The forward has been mired in a significant shooting slump in February, entering Sunday converting 36.8 percent from the field and just 17.1 percent from deep while attempting 8.2 threes per game over his previous five appearances. Porter has shown he can still generate volume scoring, but his overall impact diminishes when the efficiency dips to this extent.

Nets' Michael Porter: Scores 22 in loss
Rotowire
Porter contributed 22 points (6-16 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 86-105 loss to the Thunder.
Porter was poor from beyond the arc but still put up a solid line, leading the team in scoring despite the Nets' offensive struggles. Friday marked the second leg of a back-to-back set in which he also played the first game. While this is encouraging for his availability moving forward, caution is warranted given how tanking teams are managing their top players across the league.

Nets' Michael Porter: Plays just 21 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Porter (knee) finished with 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 112-84 loss to the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers quickly turned Thursday's game into a runaway, resulting in low workloads for most of the key players on both sides. Porter missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to right knee tendinitis, so he may have been eased back into action with a modest workload even if the Nets had kept the contest more competitive.

Nets' Michael Porter: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Porter (knee) will play Thursday against the Cavaliers.
Porter missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to right knee tendinitis. He's had plenty of time to rest, however, and he's no longer appearing on the injury report. Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so a maintenance day could be on the table for Friday.

Nets' Michael Porter: Out again Wednesday
Rotowire
Porter (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Pacers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Porter will be sidelined for a second straight game as the Nets continue to exercise caution. Porter's next chance to return comes Feb. 19 in Oklahoma City, Brooklyn's first game after the All-Star break. Drake Powell, Danny Wolf and Ziaire Williams are all candidates for increased roles in Porter's absence.

Nets' Michael Porter: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Porter has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Bulls due to right knee tendinitis.
With Porter watching from the sidelines Monday, Terance Mann could return to the first unit, and there will be more minutes available for Ziaire Williams. Noah Clowney should also see a sizeable uptick in usage with Porter unavailable. For now, Porter should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers.

Nets' Michael Porter: Delivers team-high 23 in win
Rotowire
Porter contributed 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-113 victory over Washington.
The 27-year-old forward bounced back from a nine-point effort Thursday in Orlando, leading the Nets in scoring and reaching 20 points for the ninth time in his last 12 appearances. Over that stretch, Porter is averaging 22.9 points, 6.5 boards, 3.5 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals, and with the trade deadline now in the rear view mirror, he may be able to regain his focus that saw him score in double digits in 35 straight games to begin the season before finally falling short Jan. 25.

Nets' Michael Porter: Needs 13 shots to score nine points
Rotowire
Porter provided nine points (2-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-98 loss to Orlando.
Porter couldn't buy a bucket Thursday evening, going scoreless in the second half of play while missing all four of his shot attempts. He finished with a team-worst minus-23 differential in the blowout loss and committed as many turnovers as he had assists. Porter will look to bounce back Saturday with a much more favorable matchup against the Wizards.

Nets' Michael Porter: Struggles from deep Tuesday
Rotowire
Porter contributed 21 points (7-18 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during the Nets' 125-109 loss to the Lakers on Tuesday.
It was an off night from beyond the arc for Porter, and it was the second time this season that he failed to hit a three-pointer on at least nine attempts. Part of those struggles could have been him shaking off the rust following a two-game absence due to personal reasons, but he still managed to lead the Nets in scoring while logging his ninth double-double of the season. Porter has averaged 24.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 3.7 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.9 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.
Porter (personal) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Porter has the green light to return from a two-game absence. He's going to be seeing his name quite a lot in the rumor mill leading up to the trade deadline, but it remains to be seen what direction the Nets choose to go. Across 12 appearances in January, Porter averaged 25.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.4 minutes per game.
Porter (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Porter was initially slated to be available Sunday but will ultimately be inactive due to personal reasons, marking his second straight absence due to personal reasons. His continued absence could open up more opportunities for Drake Powell and Jalen Wilson off the bench, while the Nets are likely to stick with the same starting lineup from Friday featuring Egor Demin, Nolan Traore, Terance Mann, Danny Wolf and Nic Claxton. Porter's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Lakers.
