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.

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.

Impact Porter went just 1-of-6 from the three-point line, continuing what had been a rough series. In fact, over the seven-game span, Porter scored fewer than 10 points on five occasions. It was an unfortunate end for Porter after he managed to put together a strong season. Projecting forward, Porter should be able to maintain mid-round value in most fantasy formats.
