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

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.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks the third game in a row that Porter has missed due to a left hamstring strain. It's the final game before the All-Star break, so the Nuggets are likely just being cautious and holding out Porter to be safe. His absence means that Julian Strawther should once again see a significant role in the rotation. The 22-year-old has been a better fantasy option lately with back-to-back 18-point outings. That being said, fantasy managers seeking a streaming option on Wednesday might want to take a look at Strawther.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) may miss a third consecutive contest, as the team lists him as questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Portland Trail Blazers. Following a hugely impressive three-game run of 30-point performances, Porter Jr. has landed on the shelf with a left hamstring strain. During his absence, Julian Strawther has stepped into a larger role. He has posted back-to-back 18-point efforts, averaging 37.0 minutes and 14.5 shot attempts. Christian Braun also currently carries a massive load, as Porter Jr. has joined Russell Westbrook (hamstring) and Payton Watson (knee) on the sidelines.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will miss a second straight game due to tightness in his left hamstring. Julian Strawther will likely continue to receive a lot of extra work without Porter Jr. He produced 18 points and grabbed six rebounds in 39 minutes when Porter Jr. exited the lineup on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns. Porter Jr.'s next opportunity to return will come in a rematch versus the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
