Fri Apr 1219:26Michael Porter Jr. Will Play Against The Spurs
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (quadriceps) will play on Friday against the Spurs. Porter has played well this season. Even better, he's only missed one game this year. The 25-year-old has averaged a double-double versus San Antonio during the 2023-24 campaign, meaning he deserves serious consideration from DFS managers.

Thu Apr 1120:13Michael Porter Jr. Probable Versus The Spurs
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (quadriceps) is probable ahead of Friday's matchup with the Spurs. The 25-year-old has only missed one game this season, and with the Nuggets looking to finish atop the Western Conference, he should be on the floor versus San Antonio. Porter has averaged 17.7 points and 10.0 rebounds in three meets against the Spurs during the 2023-24 campaign, making him an ideal option for all DFS contests.

Tue Apr 909:49Michael Porter Jr. Probable Tuesday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Jazz. He's landed on the injury report with right knee tendinopathy. Porter Jr. has missed just one game all season, and it looks like he will be good to go for a favorable matchup. The Jazz have the worst defensive rating in the league, and it's going to be a significant pace-up spot for Denver. Vegas has set the total for the game at 226.0 points, which is one of the highest marks on Tuesday's very busy slate.

Wed Mar 2721:21Michael Porter Jr. Good To Go Wednesday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against Phoenix. He's made appearances on the injury report of late because of a non-COVID-illness. Yet, it hasn't cost him any time. However, the 25-year-old has combined for 23 points in the Nuggets' previous two games, so he may not be worth rostering in DFS contests until he's fully healthy.

Mon Mar 2520:20Michael Porter Jr. Cleared To Play Monday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) will play on Monday against the Grizzlies. He was on the injury report because of a non-COVID-illness. However, Porter is good to go. The 25-year-old scored only 12 points in Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers. While there's a chance he'll bounce back, he may spend more time on the bench if the Nuggets build a commanding lead over the shorthanded Grizzlies.

Mon Mar 2516:07Michael Porter Jr. Downgraded To Questionable
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) is questionable for Monday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. Porter has been downgraded due to an illness after not appearing on the initial injury report, which doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up on Monday. Over Porter's last eight games, the 25-year-old marksman is averaging 20.6 points, 6.8 boards, and 3.0 three-pointers while shooting 46.2% from beyond the arc in 31.6 minutes. Each member of Denver's starting five, besides Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, are now uncertain to play against the injury-depleted Grizzlies, making it difficult to cast judgments on their rotation at this time. As it stands, the defensive-minded Peyton Watson and spot-up wing Christian Braun are names to watch who could be primed for amplified workloads for the defending champions based on who is available.

Sun Feb 1123:47Michael Porter Jr. Expected To Return On Monday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) was forced to miss their last game due to tendinopathy in his right knee. Now, he's on the injury report as probable for their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Friday was his first missed game of the season so far, and it looks like that's all he'll need to miss for now. Porter provides efficient scoring and 2.7 made threes per game to go along with 7.0 rebounds a night. According to Basketball Monster, that's enough to put him one spot outside of the top 80 this year in per-game value for nine-category leagues.

Mon Jan 2222:37Michael Porter Jr. Still Under The Weather
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) is probable ahead of Tuesday's game in Indiana. The 25-year-old carried a questionable designation for the same reason before Sunday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. However, he was out there, finishing with 19 points, five rebounds, two blocks, and two steals in 32 minutes. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be healthy for Tuesday's contest, although it would be surprising if he didn't suit up. At any rate, if Porter can't go, Peyton Watson, averaging 17 points in two starts this year, would likely fill his spot in the lineup. But with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon (shoulder) on the floor, it will be tough for Watson to do anything meaningful for fantasy managers.

Tue Jan 1618:54Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon Active Tuesday
Denver Nuggets forwards Michael Porter Jr. (knee) and Aaron Gordon (heel) are both suiting up on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's a clean sweep in terms of the starters' availabilities for Denver, who will be at full strength for Tuesday's matchup between two of the Association's juggernauts. Porter is managing inflammation in his left knee, but the oft-injured marksman has stayed as healthy as one could ask for with 41 games played at 2023-24's halfway point and is nearly supplying fifth-round value in 12-team nine-category fantasy leagues overall. Gordon is nursing a lingering strain in his right heel but will play through it on Tuesday, looking to build on a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double in Sunday's win over the Indiana Pacers.

Tue Jan 1610:22Michael Porter Jr. Considered Questionable Tuesday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has played in every game this season so far, but he could be forced to come out of the lineup due to left knee inflammation. Porter Jr.'s absence would open the door for Justin Holiday and Christian Braun to play much larger roles, especially if there are more absentees from Denver's regular lineup. The entire starting unit has been listed as questionable for the game.

Thu Oct 12 202315:17Michael Porter Jr. Ruled Out Thursday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Chicago Bulls. Porter suffered a minor left ankle sprain during last week's training camp, and the Nuggets are likely to allot their oft-injured sharpshooter as much time as possible to get him back at full strength. After missing Tuesday's opener, Porter's next shot to return to the lineup comes in Sunday's home rematch with Chicago. Veteran swingman Justin Holiday figures to get the starting nod in Porter's stead after handling that role in Denver's last contest. MPJ holds quite a bit of intrigue in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts this fall, but the 2018 first-rounder likely needs improved health and all-around contributions in order to break out.

Mon Oct 9 202322:20Michael Porter Jr. Unlikely To Play On Tuesday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Phoenix Suns. Porter tweaked his ankle during a practice earlier this month. Since then, the Nuggets have been extremely cautious with Porter. The expectation is that Justin Holiday will likely see more playing time with Porter probably sidelined for this game. Holiday should get a chance to play decent minutes and possibly earn himself a bigger role in this rotation.

Thu Oct 5 202322:29Michael Porter Jr. Misses Another Practice
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) didn't practice on Thursday and is unlikely to participate in the final day of training camp on Friday. The 25-year-old suffered a sprained left ankle during practice on Wednesday and left the facility in a walking boot. Fortunately, the injury isn't expected to keep him off the floor when the Nuggets begin their title defense on October 24 versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Porter had a quality year in 2022-23, averaging 17.4 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 41.4% from deep. Unquestionably, fantasy managers have benefitted from his presence on their rosters, although his inability to stay healthy has been an issue going back to his collegiate days.

Wed Oct 4 202322:25Michael Porter Jr. Sprains Ankle At Camp
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) was seen leaving Wednesday's practice with a walking boot on his left foot after spraining his ankle. The injury is perceived as "nothing too concerning", per Harrison Wind. Well, that's still not what fantasy managers were hoping to hear out of training camp regarding the oft-injured Porter. Though, it at least appears to be a minor issue that shouldn't impact his availability for Oct. 24's opening night. A breakout year has remained elusive for the 25-year-old Porter, who has long drawn comparisons to Kevin Durant for his combination of unique size and scoring ability. Porter has certainly developed into one of the league's preeminent catch-and-shoot players, but he's still looking to tap into other dimensions of his game. He remains worth a seventh-round pick in 12-team leagues, but the injury history is concerning.

Tue Jun 13 202309:54Michael Porter Jr. Posts 16-Point, 13-Rebound Double-Double
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. had a nice double-double in Monday's championship-clincher against Miami, contributing 16 points on 7-for-17 shooting and matching his playoff career high with 13 rebounds. He secured his eighth double-double of the postseason and only five players had more of them. Porter Jr., who endured another miserable night from deep with a 1-for-6 effort, wrapped up his line with three assists. The 24-year-old hit only 14 percent of his threes in the Finals and struggled for most of the contest, but he made a number of key plays Monday and played a big role overall in the championship win. After undergoing three different back surgeries, the triumph must feel particularly special for Porter Jr.

Tue May 23 202310:08Michael Porter Jr. Posts Another Double-Double Despite Poor Shooting
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. could get very few shots to drop in Monday's Game 4 against the Lakers, but he still found a way to record another double-double. The Nuggets completed a sweep Monday and Porter Jr. had three double-doubles in the series. He shot 5-for-16 from the field and was able to get 15 points and 10 rebounds on Monday, adding one assist and one block to his tally. Porter Jr. also didn't have a great time shooting the basketball in Game 3, so he'll have to tweak his form a bit before the NBA Finals start on June 1.

Sun May 21 202309:52Michael Porter Jr. Bags Second Double-Double Of Conference Finals
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. struggled with his shooting in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, but he still had a good outing with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. The 24-year-old posted his second double-double of the Conference Finals and produced all of his makes from the field with 4-for-10 shooting from downtown. Porter Jr. finished 4-for-11 overall and contributed one steal on the defensive end. Despite the lackluster shooting on Saturday, Porter Jr. has started the Conference Finals in good form and is averaging 15.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists through the first three games of the series.

Mon May 8 202310:42Michael Porter Jr. Records A Second Straight Double-Double
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. maintained his double-double form in Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns, notching 11 points and 10 rebounds in a 129-124 loss. He now has double-doubles from back-to-back games and from three of his last five outings. Porter Jr. added four assists, one steal and one block on Sunday, but his shooting could have been a lot better, with the 24-year-old hitting only 4-for-13 from the field and 2-for-9 from downtown. The Nuggets dropped both games in Phoenix despite team leaders Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray playing out of their skin, which points to the fact that the supporting cast, including Porter Jr., has to do better for the team to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Porter Jr. is averaging only 12.0 points in the series, shooting below 42 percent from the field.

Fri Apr 7 202322:28Michael Porter Jr. On The Injury Report For Saturday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is questionable ahead of Saturday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Porter didn't suit up on Thursday in Phoenix, with Peyton Watson taking his spot in the starting lineup. However, Watson had only three points, so there won't be many DFS managers interested in his services if he gets another start on Saturday.
