11 points, three dimes in loss Porter posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, one rebound and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact Saturday marked Porter's second career start, as the Nuggets were shorthanded with Will Barton (knee), Gary Harris (hip) and Jamal Murray (hamstring) all sidelined. Porter was passably efficient but ultimately didn't do much to help the team in the loss. He could start again if the aforementioned players remain sidelined for Monday's contest against the Thunder.

Draws second career start Porter will start at small forward in Saturday's bubble opener against the Heat, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact With Jamal Murray (hamstring), Garry Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) all sidelined, Porter will step into the starting lineup and presumably see a healthy workload.

Questionable for restart opener Murray is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Heat due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact It's not exactly clear when Murray suffered the injury, but it may prevent him from playing in the restart opener. Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) have already been ruled out, so if Murray is out as well, more minutes should funnel to Monte Morris, Torrey Craig and Michael Porter.

Out for restart opener Harris (hip) is out for Saturday's contest against the Heat.

Impact A hip issue has been bothering Harris lately, and it prevented him from playing in the team's final scrimmage. Now, it will prevent him from playing in the restart opener. With Will Barton (knee) also out, Torrey Craig, Troy Daniels and Michael Porter could be in line for extended run.
