Michael Porter Jr. News
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is listed as questionable Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Porter is dealing with some discomfort in his heel which may force him to sit Monday. If Porter is ultimately ruled out, Bruce Brown and Jeff Green would be next in line for increased minutes.
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) is probable to play Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls. Porter seems to have picked up a non-COVID illness after Monday's game, but it appears he should not miss any time. Porter scored 20 points in 32 minutes on Monday and did not seem to have any effects of the illness so he likely picked it up after the game. If Porter were to be downgraded, Aaron Gordon and Jeff Green would likely see increased value on Wednesday.
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. shot a sizzling 12-for-18 from the field and had 29 points in Sunday's win over the Clippers after struggling badly and having only nine points Saturday versus Memphis. He was 4-for-8 with the three-ball and even got to celebrate his second double-double of the season by notching 11 rebounds in 39 minutes. Porter Jr. tends to go ice-cold on some nights, but he's gotten better with each month and is now close to averaging 20 points per game for February. He's been hitting 40 percent from deep this month while grabbing 4.6 rebounds.
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is available to play again Saturday against Philadelphia. He has missed the last three games for personal reasons. Porter Jr. was also initially questionable for Saturday's action, but the team has now confirmed that he will play. Porter Jr.'s return will push Bruce Brown (knee) back to the bench, although he is still set to have a big role in the rotation and will remain useful in most fantasy leagues.
