Nuggets' Michael Porter: Questionable for Thursday
Porter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Clippers on Thursday.
Porter suffered a left shoulder sprain during Game 2 on Monday but was able to participate in practice Wednesday. The 26-year-old is averaging 9.0 points and 9.5 rebounds through two games in the series and would be a significant loss for the Nuggets. If Porter is unable to play, Peyton Watson is a candidate to slide into the starting lineup.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Goes through practice
Denver coach David Adelman said Porter (shoulder) was able to go through Wednesday's practice, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Porter, who suffered a mild left shoulder sprain at the end of Game 2, can be considered questionable for Game 3 for the time being. More clarity will be known when the Nuggets release their injury report Wednesday evening, however. During Monday's loss, Porter produced 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes. If he's unable to play, Peyton Watson would be a candidate to see more run.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Double-doubles in Game 2 loss
Porter provided 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Porter bounced back from a terrible Game 1 performance, matching his season high with 15 rebounds. While it wasn't enough to help secure the victory, it was promising for his role in the series to see him out there when it mattered down the stretch. With the series now level at 1-1, Denver will be hoping to turn the tables when the two teams meet again in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Porter racked up 21 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 victory over the Kings.
The 26-year-old wing remains a key source of secondary offense for the Nuggets behind Nikola Jokic. Porter has scored in double digits in 22 straight appearances dating back to Feb. 22, and he's scored at least 20 points in six of his last 11 outings, averaging 18.6 points, 7.2 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.7 threes, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks during that time.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Not playing Wednesday
Porter (personal) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Porter will miss a second straight game due to personal reasons. Still, it seems like an scheduled rest day for the starters, as other regulars such as Jamal Murray (hamstring), Nikola Jokic (ankle), Aaron Gordon (calf) and Christian Braun (foot) will also sit Wednesday's contest. This means head coach Michael Malone will likely look to Peyton Watson (knee), Hunter Tyson and Spencer Jones to see more minutes.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Questionable against San Antonio
Porter (personal) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Porter might miss a second straight game Wednesday due to personal reasons. Denver may be very shorthanded for this game against San Antonio, with several notable players listed as questionable, like Nikola Jokic (ankle), Aaron Gordon (calf), Jamal Murray (hamstring), Peyton Watson (knee) and Christian Braun (foot). If Porter is ruled out, head coach Michael Malone will likely look to Hunter Tyson and Spencer Jones to shoulder the load, especially if Braun and Watson are also ruled out.

Porter notched 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 31 minutes during Friday's 129-93 victory over Utah.
The 26-year-old forward supplied at least 20 points for the second straight contest as Porter extended his streak of games with double-digit points to 19. He's been more floor than ceiling during that run, averaging 16.9 points, 7.9 boards, 2.3 threes, 2.2 assists and 1.3 combined steals and blocks while providing a reliable complement to Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray (hamstring) when the Nuggets are at full strength.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Upgraded to available
Porter (back) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz.
As expected, Porter will shed a probable designation and play through a back strain against Utah. The veteran sharpshooter should be able to handle his usual workload, provided Friday's contest remains competitive. Porter has averaged 16.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 35.2 minutes per game over 14 contests this month.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Probable to play Friday
Porter (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Utah.
Porter was added to the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to a low back strain, but he managed to play and finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals over 34 minutes in the Nuggets' 127-117 win. He should be able to play through the injury again Friday, but Porter may not be formally cleared to play until after the Nuggets' morning shootaround. Porter has averaged 16.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.0 steals over 35.2 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Catches fire against Bucks
Porter ended Wednesday's 127-117 victory over the Bucks with 23 points (7-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes.
The Nuggets labeled Porter as questionable before Wednesday's contest due to a lower back strain. However, the 26-year-old forward clarified postgame that the injury is actually to his hamstring, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports. The issue didn't keep Porter from snapping out of his three-point shooting slump. He entered Wednesday's contest shooting 27.1 percent from distance over his last eight appearances and hadn't made more than three in a game since Feb. 28. He also notched his 15th double-double of the campaign.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Iffy for Wednesday
Porter is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks with a lower back strain.
Porter was a late addition to the injury report, which is usually a bad sign. Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon (injury maintenance) remains questionable, and Nikola Jokic (ankle) is now questionable as well. If Porter is held out Wednesday, Peyton Watson is likely to absorb a handful of minutes for Denver.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Notches 16 points
Porter amassed 16 points (7-18 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Bulls.
Considering the Nuggets have been without Nikola Jokic (ankle) for a while, Porter has had a pretty underwhelming month by his standards. Across 13 March appearances, Porter is shooting 44.6 percent from the field and 28.7 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 15.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.8 three-pointers.

Porter racked up 21 points (7-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Monday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors.
With Nikola Jokic (elbow), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Christian Braun (foot) all sidelined Monday, Porter logged a second consecutive double-double after posting a 20/11 line against the Wizards on Saturday. Although he's had some rocky totals, Porter is enjoying a fairly productive March, averaging 16.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists with four double-doubles over the past nine games.
