Michael Porter Jr. totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3 PT), seven rebounds, and two assists in the Nuggets’ 122-105 loss to the Suns on Monday.
Fantasy Impact:
Porter scored 15.0 points in the Nuggets’ loss to the Suns, putting up a palatable fantasy effort in the process. He is having a fantastic playoffs and seems poised to find success in this series against the Suns; however, to do so, it could mean that he will have to play smarter while on the floor when going against a Chris Paul led Suns squad. Porter's talent is undeniable; however, what does it look like when he can no longer just use his athleticism to create more opportunities to produce value? He is a core offensive cog with significant upside that could be limited due to the score-heavy nature of his value build. It may take him some time to put up a ceiling game or two, so be sure to manage expectations before investing in him for your lineups.
