Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Drops 12 dimes in return
Porter closed Sunday's 130-111 win over the Trail Blazers with three points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and five steals across 28 minutes.
Porter struggled to score during the victory, but he adeptly handled floor general duties while on the court. Donovan Mitchell has slid into the point guard role during Darius Garland's (toe) absence, but his scoring responsibilities far outweigh the need to move the ball around. Porter took care of that job as he stepped in throughout the game to spell Micthell and Sam Merrill.

The 25-year-old matched a career high with 11 dimes, marking his first double-digit assist performance of the campaign. When given extended run, the Wichita State product often showcases his passing ability, averaging 5.6 assists in 14 games with at least 22 minutes played this season.

Porter will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Starting Thursday
Porter is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with Minnesota.
Porter will be joined in the first unit by Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. This will be Porter's first start this season, but he's capable of racking up the defensive stats when given the minutes, so he's on the radar as a streaming target with just four games on Thursday's slate.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Fills up the stat sheet in 28 mins
Porter closed with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 win over the Pacers.
With Donovan Mitchell (rest) taking the night off, Porter saw some increased opportunity and made the most of it, matching his season high in blocks, assists and rebounds. Whenever Mitchell or Darius Garland needs a night off, Porter will be someone to consider throwing out there in daily fantasy leagues.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Strong defensive effort
Porter provided two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Pistons.
Porter wasn't able to get much going offensively, but he had a solid showing on the defensive side of things. Over his last seven outings, Porter has averaged 4.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 18.8 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Near triple-double off bench
Porter ended Tuesday's 141-118 victory over the Pelicans with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 22 minutes.
It was a well-rounded effort for Porter on Tuesday, with the third-year guard finishing with a season high in rebounds while dishing his most assists since Nov. 12 against the Heat (nine dimes). It was also his first game scoring in double-digits since Dec. 5 against the Spurs, and while his minutes have fluctuated this season, Porter should have a more reliable role in the rotation in games when Lonzo Ball (knee) is sidelined.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Records three steals in loss
Porter provided four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Receives 11 minutes in return
Porter (hamstring) finished with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 11 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Celtics.
Porter made his return to action after missing the Cavaliers' previous three games due to a left hamstring strain. Though he was part of the rotation Sunday, Porter could see his minutes disappear entirely once Cleveland returns to full strength in the backcourt and on the wing. Lonzo Ball (knee) should be back for Monday's game against the Pacers, and Sam Merrill (hand) and Max Strus (foot) could also be back in the mix at some point.
