Flirts with double-double in win Porter notched 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 121-119 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Porter was one rebound shy of a double-double, marking a third time where he's fallen just short of the milestone. Porter is trying to build on a solid 2023-24 campaign where he set new career highs in free throw percentage and minutes played. He also had 16 double-doubles last season, so these narrow misses should convert more often as the season progresses.

Another 20-point effort Porter logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Saturday's 129-103 win over the Jazz.

Impact Porter reached the 20-point mark for the second consecutive contest, a sign of improvement after not doing so in his first four contests. He's been constantly attempting double-digit shots, so the points will eventually come, although he's primed to have a slightly more significant role on offense as long as Jamal Murray (concussion) remains sidelined or less than 100 percent healthy. Porter is shooting 47 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three in his six appearances.

Drops 26 in Friday's loss Porter accumulated 26 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 119-116 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact It was Porter's best scoring performance of the young season, as he drained at least three three-pointers for the third time in five contests. After a cold start from beyond the arc, the 26-year-old forward has gone 7-for-14 from downtown over the last two games. Porter's also been busier than usual on the glass -- his 7.4 boards per game would be a career high, and he's pulled down at least five rebounds in every appearance so far.

Solid in blowout loss Porter amassed 15 points (5-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 102-87 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Porter is looking to build on an impressive 2023-24 campaign, and the Nuggets will rely on his dependable mid-range shot and rebounding skills to complement the rest of the first unit. The loss of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is bound to provide ore opportunities for Porter. The Misssouri product can be streaky, popping for over 30 points one game and regressing in the next, but he's shown yearly improvement in all facets of his game.

Productive in Thursday's outing Porter scored 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding eight rebounds in 23 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 preseason win over the Timberwolves.

Impact There wasn't much defense being played Thursday, but that suited Porter just fine. The 26-year-old forward has been in midseason form from the jump during the Nuggets' exhibition schedule, producing 26.2 points per 36 minutes while shooting 61.0 percent from the floor (25-for-41) and 37.5 percent (6-for-16) from three-point range.

Paces Denver in scoring Porter notched 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason loss to the Thunder.

Impact The Nuggets decided to rest Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic, while Jamal Murray was ruled out due to a minor injury, so Porter embraced the role of being a go-to player on offense and led a depleted Nuggets roster in scoring in this 30-point loss. Porter and the Nuggets have one more preseason game left when they take on the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Scores 21 points Sunday Porter posted 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and three steals across 25 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.

Impact Porter returned to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to rest purposes, and he looked sharp on both ends of the court. Once Denver's regular season begins Oct. 24 against the Thunder, Porter projects to operate as Denver's third option on offense, behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Back in action Porter will start Sunday's preseason game against the Suns.

Impact Porter was held out of Denver's last game for rest purposes, but he will return to play Sunday. With Porter and Aaron Gordon (undisclosed) back in the lineup, the Nuggets will get to run with their projected opening-day starting lineup.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Sunday Porter (rest) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics in Abu Dhabi, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Porter will join Aaron Gordon (undisclosed), Russell Westbrook (rest) and DeAndre Jordan (rest) on the sidelines Sunday -- none of whom are expected to miss any time to begin the regular season. Porter started in Friday's 107-103 loss to the Celtics, during which he saw 15 minutes of action while scoring 12 points and shooting 5-for-8 from the field. The 26-year-old's next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Suns.

Under minutes restriction Friday Porter is expected to receive limited playing time in Friday's preseason opener against Boston, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact With 19 players able to suit up, coach Mike Malone said Friday that the starting unit of Porter, Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray will receive limited run. This will likely remain the case until the club gets closer to Opening Night. Porter is coming off a strong all-around season, during which he averaged 16.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.7 3PM/G across 31.7 minutes per game in 81 regular-season outings.
