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.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is questionable for Saturday's game in Philadelphia. Bruce Brown (knee) and Jamal Murray (hip) are also questionable, so the Nuggets may lean on Nikola Jokic (hamstring) more than usual, assuming he can play after sitting out Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee. Of course, Aaron Gordon would likely also see an uptick in production. At the same time, guys like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) and Bones Hyland should stand to benefit if Porter, Murray, and Brown are ruled out.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is out Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Porter will miss another game due to personal reasons and does not seem to be with the team.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Porter did not play last game due to personal reasons and may miss another given the questionable tag.

Readers should check back closer to game-time for an update on Porter's availability.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) will return from a 13-game absence on Friday versus Portland but will play with a minutes restriction. Porter Jr. has missed multiple weeks with a left heel strain, so it's completely understandable that the team won't want to push him too hard in his first game back. A healthy Porter Jr. is a great asset in real life and in fantasy hoops, with him having averaged 16.4 points and 6.0 rebounds for the season. Bruce Brown has been getting a lot of burn in Porter Jr.'s absence and his fantasy stock takes a hit now, while his return could also have a negative impact on Aaron Gordon, who has enjoyed his best spell as a Nugget with Porter Jr. out of the lineup.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) and small forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) have been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Portland. Murray was held out of Tuesday's game as he works his way back from a knee injury that cost him all of last season, while Porter looks to suit up for the first time since Nov. 22. Christian Braun made his first NBA start in place of Murray and would figure to be an upside DFS play again should the 25-year-old remain sidelined. Bruce Brown has seen his role expand in the month that Porter has been unavailable, although the 24-year-old will likely be eased back into the rotation whenever he is officially given the green light to return. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Denver's final injury report.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) will miss an 11th consecutive game Friday against the Lakers. The 24-year-old continues to work his way back from a left heel strain. Bruce Brown has played a very active role in Porter Jr.'s absence and should continue to do so Friday as well. As a very versatile player, Brown can help fantasy teams in many ways, and he should be guaranteed to get a massive workload against a desperate Lakers team.

Denver Nuggets small forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) was able to shoot and do light work during Monday's practice, per Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post, but he will miss Wednesday's contest against Washington, marking a 10th consecutive absence. Bruce Brown has primarily taken over Porter's role on the wing and among the starting five, giving him some short-term season-long value as he has averaged 12.6 points per game across an average of 33 minutes per night as a starter. Porter has impressed offensively when available this year, particularly from behind the arc, as he has knocked down 2.9 threes per game while shooting at a 42.7 percent clip from deep. With Denver mum about when a potential return could come, fantasy managers will want to check back for word as it becomes available.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) will miss his seventh consecutive game and eighth this season while he continues to deal with heel issues. Reports say that he suffered a heel strain and it seems like it's giving him more issues than was previously expected. While he's been out, Bruce Brown Jr. has entered the starting lineup and Vlatko Cancar has seen increased playing time off of the bench. Both of them would be good streaming options in all formats.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is out on Sunday versus New Orleans, marking his sixth consecutive absence. Denver next's matchup after this one will be on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks, although it's unknown if he'll be ready to go for that one. That said, until Porter returns, Bruce Brown should continue to fill the void in the lineup. Brown has averaged 13.7 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 47.5% from deep in 10 starts this year, making him a viable fantasy option in all formats.

His absence resulted in Davon Reed drawing the start during Wednesday's game. He finished with zero points, three rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes of playing time. Reed won't be a reliable streaming option even if Porter does sit out on Friday.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is questionable for Wednesday's road game against OKC. He is dealing with a left heel contusion and might not be able to play after logging 33 minutes in Tuesday's 110-108 loss to Detroit. Porter Jr. had a nice game against the Pistons with 18 points, eight rebounds, and a couple of blocks. With Nikola Jokic (conditioning) and Jamal Murray (conditioning) also questionable for the game, we could see Denver running a very unusual rotation. A versatile player like Bruce Brown, who can play multiple positions, looks to benefit the most in such a situation. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Aaron Gordon should get a boost as well as the only remaining starters.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. was an unstoppable scoring machine in Sunday's 126-103 victory over the Bulls, racking up a season-high 31 points on 11-for-16 shooting in just 24 minutes of action. He nailed six shots from deep with nine attempts and completed his line with one rebound, two assists, two steals and zero turnovers. Porter Jr. had managed just seven points in his previous outing against Boston, so this was a fantastic bounce-back performance from the 24-year-old.

Porter Jr. will look to replicate his Sunday's performance Wednesday night against the Knicks and their leaky defense. OKC has just dropped 145 points on them, and the Knicks are ranked only 22nd in defensive efficiency.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) is available versus the Utah Jazz and will start. The 24-year-old got the night off against the Lakers on Wednesday to rest. Considering he entered 2022-23 coming off a season-ending back injury, Porter will sit sporadically moving ahead. The 2018 first-round pick is still having a fantastic year, averaging 18 points and five boards while shooting 50% from deep, so fantasy managers must keep him starting on Friday night.

The team is going to be cautious with Porter, but he should be ready to play on Friday. The Nuggets will likely use a committee approach to fill the void.
