Posts efficient 27-point effort Porter finished with 27 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Porter led all players in scoring in the contest, posting his highest point total since mid-December. He scored 18 points in the first half before sustaining a cut over his left eye, but Porter was able to return for the start of the third quarter. The fourth-year guard was uncharacteristically efficient with his shot, making 11 of 16 attempts after shooting just 32.4 percent over his previous three games. Since returning from a lengthy injury absence March 1, Porter is averaging 15.0 points, 7.1 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.1 steals over seven contests.

Records double-double in win Porter supplied 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, 13 assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 111-109 victory over Boston.

Impact Porter logged 13 assists for the second time in his last four outings. His inefficient scoring continues, but he has done an excellent job of making up for it in several other categories. Since returning March 1 from a foot injury that took place back in January, the young guard's scoring average has slipped a bit (13.0), but he's also been averaging 7.3 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in that span.

Cleared to play Porter (thigh) is available and will start Saturday against the Bulls, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.

Impact Porter is coming off a one-game absence against the Pacers. With Porter getting the green light to return, Daishen Nix returns to the bench and will lose most of his fantasy value.

Likely to play against Chicago Porter (thigh) is probable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Porter is expected to return to the lineup Saturday after missing the previous game with a left thigh contusion. The 22-year-old guard will likely replace Daishen Nix in the starting five.

Officially ruled out Porter (thigh) won't play in Thursday's game versus Indiana.

Impact Porter has been downgraded from doubtful to out Thursday with a left thigh contusion. Daishen Nix and Josh Christopher are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Porter's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Chicago.

MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Thursday Head coach Stephen Silas said Porter is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Pacers due to a thigh contusion, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.

Impact Porter has appeared in four straight games since a month-and-a-half-long absence due to a foot injury, but he's expected to be sidelined again due to a thigh contusion. He presumably picked up the injury during Tuesday's loss to Brooklyn, during which he finished with eight points (2-11 FG), eight rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes. In Porter's likely absence, Daishen Nix should see increased run, but Houston could also elevate TyTy Washington from the G League.

Dazzles as playmaker Sunday Porter finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 142-110 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Porter was efficient from the field and extremely active as a playmaker, posting his best assist total of the campaign here. This was his seventh double-double of the season and just his fourth game with double-digit assists, but it's also proof of his potential and a sign of what he can do when he's orchestrating the offense and playing at his best. This was also his first double-double of the year, but most importantly, he seems to be fully recovered from the foot injury that sidelined him for 20 games.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mixed results in return Porter (foot) posted 11 points (3-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 113-99 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Porter was back in the starting lineup Wednesday following a 20-game absence due to a foot injury. He was reportedly going to operate under a strict minutes restriction, but he ended up garnering a relatively normal role. However, he wasn't overly efficient, as he needed 11 shots to score 11 points and had two turnovers to just two assists. Some rust is to be expected for Porter, but the fact he wasn't severely limited is a positive sign for him moving forward.

Starting in return Porter is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Memphis, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Porter will replace Daishen Nix in the starting lineup Wednesday. The 22-year-old Porter will play in his first game since Jan. 11 but will be on a minutes restriction.

Impact While Porter was initially termed questionable, head coach Stephen Silas was "confident" he would be back in action Wednesday, and that will be the case. He has started all 40 appearances this season, but it's unclear if the 22-year-old will do so in his first game back since Jan. 11. Either way, Porter's return to the fold will likely siphon minutes away from TyTy Washington gradually, though Porter isn't expected to play much Wednesday.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable Wednesday Porter (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Impact Coach Stephen Silas said Tuesday that the Rockets are "confident" Porter will be able to return Wednesday, but the point guard will still carry a questionable designation ahead of the matchup against the Grizzlies. The 22-year-old will likely face a minutes restriction if he's available since he's missed the last 20 games, but TyTy Washington and Daishen Nix will likely see reduced roles once Porter is officially cleared to return.

Impact Porter was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game and participated in morning shootaround, but the medical staff would like to give him an extra day before getting him back into a game. Porter's return from a 20-game absence should result in TyTy Washington and Daishen Nix going back to muted roles. Fantasy managers should expect Porter to be on a minutes limit in his first game back.

Impact Porter looks like he has a chance to suit up for the first time since Jan. 11, but even if he's available, the dynamic point guard will likely operate under some restrictions following a 19-game absence due to a left foot contusion. Before suffering the injury, Porter had scored in double figures in all 39 of his appearances on the season. He enters Tuesday's contest maintaining averages of 19.5 points, 5.7 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 34.6 minutes per game.

Upgraded to questionable Porter (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Impact Porter has missed 19 straight games, but he's recently returned to practice and could be back in the starting lineup Tuesday. The fourth-year guard may face some limitations when he's ultimately cleared, but he should still garner a decent chunk of the playmaking opportunities when he's back to full speed.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Blazers Porter (foot) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Porter appears to be nearing a return, as he practiced Saturday, but he'll ultimately miss a 19th straight game Sunday. His next chance to play arrives Tuesday against the Nuggets.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Porter hasn't played since Jan. 11 due to a left foot contusion, but he's trending in the right direction and could return to action soon. Seeing as the injury was to his lower body, it wouldn't be surprising to see the fourth-year guard have some conditioning hurdles to clear, so he may operate under a minutes limit when he's ultimately cleared for action.

Impact Porter did not practice Wednesday and hasn't played since Jan. 11 with a left foot contusion. He will not return for Friday's tilt and will likely also miss Sunday's game. With Jalen Green (groin) under the same designation as Porter, the backcourt will be left to TyTy Washington, Josh Christopher and Daishen Nix.

Misses practice, deemed doubtful Porter (foot) did not practice Wednesday and is doubtful to play in Friday's game against the Warriors, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter hasn't seen any game action since Jan. 11 due to a bruised left foot and is unlikely to return for the Rockets' first game after the All-Star break. With backcourt mate Jalen Green (groin) also doubtful, Josh Christopher, TyTy Washington and Daishen Nix may be forced to take on the brunt of the backcourt minutes.
