Double-doubles with four triples Porter provided 26 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds and two turnovers across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 114-104 win over the Hornets.

Impact This was Porter's second double-double of the season and the 71st of his career. He's off to a solid start, posting top-40 value behind averages of 21.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.5 triples and 1.4 steals per game.

Scores 18 in loss to NYK Porter registered 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 37 minutes in Monday's 103-90 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Porter maintained a substantial offensive role, attempting 11 three-pointers after taking 10 against Indiana on Sunday. His 37-minute workload and consistent perimeter volume remain encouraging, although his rebounding production declined from nine to five boards. Porter continues to provide reliable scoring and rebounding, and his role as the No. 2 option on offense behind Julius Randle gives him a steady fantasy floor.

Leads Nets with 23 points Porter posted 23 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and a steal across 36 minutes in Sunday's 98-90 win over the Pacers.

Impact Porter led Brooklyn in scoring and narrowly missed what would've been his second double-double of the season en route to helping the Nets secure their first victory of the season. Porter continues to offer a strong combination of scoring, perimeter volume, and rebounding, making him a valuable fantasy contributor across all formats and one of Brooklyn's go-to options on offense alongside Julius Randle. Porter has scored at least 20 points in four of his six appearances so far.

Remains active defensively in loss Porter ended with 27 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 40 minutes in Tuesday's 125-124 overtime loss to Boston.

Impact Porter had just 10 points in the 136-109 loss to the Pacers on Sunday. He turned things around Tuesday, scoring over 20 points for the third time this season while picking up his first double-double of the year. However, it didn't result in a win for his team, with the Nets failing to secure their first victory of the 2026-27 campaign. In four regular-season games, Porter is now averaging 22.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and a career-best 2.3 steals across 32.0 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers survive a late Nets rally to win home opener 125-121

Donovan Mitchell scored 22 points, Jarrett Allen added 21 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers won their home opener, 125-121 over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night

OCTOBER 25 • Associated Press

Well-rounded effort in loss Porter produced 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four steals and one assist across 33 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Porter turned in an efficient all-around shooting performance en route to a game-high 25 points. The sharpshooter also led the Nets in rebounds while chipping in a game-best mark in steals, tying his career high in swipes. He's been extremely productive through two regular-season games, totaling 54 points, 16 rebounds, seven steals and two assists while shooting 45.0 percent from downtown.

Strong scoring effort in loss Porter produced 26 points (10-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, an assist and three steals across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 110-103 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Not only did Porter finish the game as the Nets' second-best scorer, but he was also one of two players who surpassed the 20-point plateau, with Julius Randle (33 points) being the other. Porter's substantial workload while sharing the frontcourt with Randle suggests his scoring opportunities should remain plentiful, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about some potential regression that might affect the star forward.

Another productive showing Wednesday Porter finished with 27 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 144-128 preseason loss to Miami.

Impact Porter had 22 points in Monday's win over the Wizards. He played even better Wednesday, leading both teams in scoring. The 28-year-old has performed at an All-Star level throughout the preseason, and while that trend could continue during the regular season, his durability remains a cause for concern.

Drops 22 points in preseason win Porter produced 22 points (8-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one block across 24 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact After a one-game absence due to wrist soreness, Porter returned to action and paced the Nets in scoring. The veteran forward is coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 24.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals across 52 appearances. He'll look to remain a high-level scoring threat entering his second regular season in Brooklyn.

Set to return Monday Porter (wrist) is good to go for Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact As expected, Porter is back after missing Thursday's preseason game due to wrist soreness. Presumably, the Nets were simply being cautious for the exhibition.

Sitting out Thursday Porter will not play in Thursday's preseason game against Philadelphia due to left wrist soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Porter's absence comes after he scored 16 points in Tuesday's preseason win over Charlotte. The Nets haven't indicated whether the wrist issue will affect his availability beyond Thursday, though his next opportunity to play will come in Brooklyn's next exhibition contest.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Strong line in preseason Porter finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason win over Charlotte.

Impact Porter started at small forward and led Brooklyn in scoring despite playing fewer than 17 minutes. His four three-pointers also led the Nets, and the veteran forward should remain one of Brooklyn's primary perimeter scoring threats this season.
