Michael Porter Jr. DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was initially uncertain for the game due to a low back strain, but Denver has upgraded Porter Jr.'s status from questionable to available. Porter Jr. has struggled with his shooting this month, finishing a disappointing 1-for-10 from beyond the arc on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. On Wednesday, he has an opportunity to get back on track against a Bucks team missing Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) and Damian Lillard (calf).

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Porter missed the final three games before the All-Star break due to a left hamstring strain. He'll be back in action on Thursday and won't have any minutes restrictions, according to head coach Mike Malone. Porter has been on a hot streak lately as he's averaging 28.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists across his last five games. Fantasy managers better make sure to get him in their lineups ahead of Thursday's tip-off.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) is expected to play on Thursday against Charlotte. The 26-year-old missed the Nuggets' last three games heading into the All-Star break. But it appears the time off was all that was needed, with Porter in line to play his first game since February 6. With Russell Westbrook (hamstring), Jamal Murray (knee), and Aaron Gordon (calf) all expected to play, Julian Strawther or Christian Braun could see more work if Porter can't suit up. However, if he's out there, he's worthy of a spot in all fantasy lineups.
