Kevin Porter Jr. Stats

Houston Rockets guard/forward Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to enter contract discussions with the team. The 22-year-old can agree to a rookie-scale extension as soon as July 1. But if an agreement isn't reached, he will likely be headed for restricted free agency by the summer of 2023. After starting his career in Cleveland, Porter has played his last two seasons in Houston. He averaged 15.6 points, 6.2 assists, 4.4 boards, and 1.1 steals while shooting 37.5% from deep in 2021-22 throughout 61 games, so without a doubt, he's a proven fantasy producer. His versatility also gives him multi-positional eligibility in most formats. However, he's had conduct issues since entering the league back in 2019, so he may continue to be a nuisance for any organization moving ahead, which could cost him a few games here or there due to suspension.

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. notched his first triple-double of the year in Wednesday night's loss to the Sacramento Kings. He compiled 30 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds while shooting 11-for-17 from the field. He hit four three-pointers and also came up with a block. This was easily one of KPJ's best games of the 2021-22 season. He's been a good source of assists throughout the year (6.1 per game), but his scoring (14.4 per game) and shooting (40.6% field goals) have been inconsistent. Luckily for Porter, his next game will also be against the Kings on Friday. Make a note of that for your Friday DFS plans.
