KEVIN PORTER JR. NEWS

Season-high mark in steals Porter supplied 21 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 111-108 loss to the Heat.

Impact Porter failed to reach the 20-point mark in three straight games but managed to accomplish the feat Thursday, though his efforts were not enough to carry the Rockets to victory. The positives didn't end there for the young guard, who also recorded a season-high mark in steals. Porter is averaging 18.3 points, 4.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game across seven December contests.

Mediocre effort Thursday Porter ended Thursday's 118-109 loss to San Antonio with 12 points (5-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes.

Impact Porter played through a knee injury, posting an unflattering fantasy line. Both he and Jalen Green struggled to hit anything on the offensive end, shooting a combined 10-of-33 from the field. After a strong start to the season, Porter has settled into being more like the player we expected. His counting stats remain strong, while his percentages and high turnovers are a constant battle. He is clearly a must-roster player, although his flaws do limit his overall appeal.

Active Thursday Porter (knee) will play in Thursday's game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Porter was slated to be a game-time decision due to right knee soreness but will give it a go Thursday. He should retain his starting point guard role and should be a full go. Porter is in the midst of a breakout campaign, averaging 19.0 points, 5.8 assists and 5.7 rebounds. Fantasy managers should confidently fire him up in all formats Thursday.

Questionable Thursday Porter is questionable to play in Thursday's game against the Spurs due to right knee soreness, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Porter is questionable to miss just his second game of the season Thursday. Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews are all candidates to receive extended minutes if he's unable to play. Porter's next chance to play will be Sunday's game against the Bucks if he's ruled out Thursday.

Bounces back with 23 points Porter ended with 23 points (8-18 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Porter was coming off three straight subpar performances, but he finally reached the 20-point plateau for the first time since Nov. 20, when he posted 30 points against the Warriors. Porter is averaging 18.6 points per game over his last five appearances, and while he's shooting 44 percent from the field in that span, that's actually an improvement considering he's only made 41.7 percent of his field goals over the entire campaign.

Season-low 12 points in loss Porter chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 129-113 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Porter ended the loss with a serviceable yet unflattering performance. After a hot start to the season, he is now outside the top 140 in standard leagues despite averaging a healthy 18.7 points to go with 6.1 assists per game. His percentages are a real drag when it comes to his overall value, currently sitting at 41.6 percent from the field and 73.0 percent from the line. He still remains a clear must-roster player as long as you can absorb his deficiencies.
