Plays through illness for 18 points Porter recorded 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to Phoenix.
Impact Porter drew the start despite battling an unspecified illness but was fairly productive in the loss. Porter has plodded along with pedestrian scoring numbers over the past three games due to lower-than-expected shot volume, but his 16 attempts Wednesday is a move in the right direction. Porter can soar well above 20 points with enough opportunity, but he sometimes lacks the necessary aggression to make those opportunities happen on his own.

Good to go Porter (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Porter was in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 9, but he will ultimately play through an illness. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role at forward.

Returns to injury report Porter is probable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to an illness.
Impact Porter was dealing with an illness prior to suiting up in Monday's victory over Memphis, although he worked with an abridged workload, delivering 11 points (4-7 FG) and four rebounds in 22 minutes of action. His status will need to be monitored, but he appears firmly on track for Wednesday's contest.

Cleared for action Porter (illness) will play Monday versus Memphis.
Impact Porter and Nikola Jokic (back/hip) are available Monday, while Aaron Gordon (foot) and Jamal Murray (ankle) are out. The specifics of Porter's ailment are unclear, but no minutes restriction has been mentioned for the 25-year-old.

Dealing with illness Porter is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness.
Impact Porter and Aaron Gordon (foot) are late additions to the injury report, joining Nikola Jokic (back/hip) and Jamal Murray (ankle) as questionable. Given almost their entire starting lineup is questionable, it's difficult to project what the Nuggets' rotation will look like until we get clarity on who'll be available.

Extremely efficient in win Thursday Porter finished Thursday's 113-100 win over the Knicks with 31 points (13-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds in 37 minutes.
Impact There's no question that the Nuggets will go as far as Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray can carry them, but the team gets an entirely new dimension on offense when Porter can knock down shots consistently. This 13-for-16 performance was one of his best showings of the entire campaign, and Porter is arguably going through one of his most productive stretches of the season. He's now scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 23.0 points per game while shooting 50 percent from deep and 60.9 percent from the field in that span.

Balls out in fourth quarter Porter closed Tuesday's 115-112 win over the Timberwolves with 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes.
Impact Porter was a prime catalyst in the final stanza, scoring 13 of his 26 points in the final 12 minutes. Occasionally, the gameflow doesn't work in Porter's favor, but he usually registers solid two-way numbers when he sees more than 30 minutes. The 6-10 forward is especially effective when the opposition suffers from a height disadvantage, and Porter excelled against the Timberwolves' short-handed frontcourt.

Strong two-way play Sunday Porter ended Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 37 minutes.
Impact Porter is having an outstanding year as a secondary offensive alternative in Denver's two-man game of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, but he has been able to step up when needed. Porter has scored 20 or more points in four of his eight March appearances, averaging 18.8 points per game while shooting 47.3 percent from three-point range. He complements that scoring prowess with decent numbers in other categories as well, making him a valuable asset in both fantasy and real life for the reigning NBA champions.

Keeps firing from downtown Porter contributed 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 117-106 win over the Spurs.
Impact Porter didn't have his best performance from a fantasy perspective, as he's shown the ability to fill the stat sheet on every given game, but he's been consistent when it comes to his three-point shooting. He's made multiple threes in all but two of his 12 appearances since the end of the All-Star break, a span in which he's averaging 19.9 points per game while shooting 42.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Knocks down five threes vs. Heat Porter racked up 25 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and seven rebounds in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 100-88 victory over Miami.
Impact Porter hit five threes for the ninth time this season as he led the Nuggets in scoring Wednesday. The fifth-year forward has been on a tear as of late and has shot 50 percent or better in five of his last seven games. Porter is averaging 19.5 points on 58.8 percent shooting (including 48.8 percent from three on 6.8 3PA/G), 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 32.6 minutes per game in March.
