Porter recorded 28 points (9-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 victory over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Porter did most of his damage in the first half, with 25 of his 28 points being scored through the first two quarters of Tuesday's contest. He went just 1-for-6 from the field in the second half, but he was still the game's leading scorer while finishing tied with Noah Clowney with a team-high two steals. Porter has scored at least 28 points in six of his last eight outings, and over that span, he has averaged 28.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 4.9 threes and 1.1 steals in 33.4 minutes per game while shooting 50.6 percent from the field and 46.4 percent from deep.

Porter registered 24 points (9-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during the Nets' 96-81 win over the Raptors on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Porter set the tone for the Nets early with 17 points in the first half, 10 of which came in the second quarter. Porter connected on at least four triples for the 14th time this season and logged his fifth double-double of the season (and second in the month of December). In seven games since Dec. 1, Porter has averaged 28.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 4.9 threes and 1.0 steals over 33.4 minutes per game.

Porter ended Thursday's 106-95 loss to Miami with 28 points (10-24 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Porter has been struggling from an efficiency standpoint the past two games, going 14-for-35 from the floor and 7-for-21 from three-point range. He's shooting 49.3 percent from the floor and 39.6 percent from distance on the season, though, so it should only be a matter of time until Porter finds his rhythm again.

Porter accumulated 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-82 victory over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Porter has been the Nets' best player by a wide margin this season, but he didn't have his best showing Sunday -- at least from a statistical perspective. Porter was coming off four straight games in which he cleared the 30-point mark, so some regression was inevitable. Based on how important he's been for Brooklyn offensively this season, expect Porter to have a prominent role once again when the Nets face the Heat on Thursday.

Porter chipped in 35 points (14-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-101 victory over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old forward led all scorers in the contest and appeared to be 100 percent after sitting out the Nets' last game Thursday on the second night of a back-to-back for maintenance purposes. Porter has topped 30 points in each of the first three games he's played in December, averaging 34.3 points, 8.7 boards, 5.7 threes, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game to begin the month.

Porter (back) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter sat out Thursday's loss to the Jazz, with that game coming as the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action with his usual minutes Saturday night. Porter's return will likely result in Tyrese Martin or Terance Mann heading back to the second unit.

Porter (back) won't play Thursday against the Jazz, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets are calling this injury management, so this is essentially a maintenance day on the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Wednesday's win over the Bulls, Porter had 33 points (10-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes. Noah Clowney could see a usage rate bump Thursday, and players like Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams could be more involved.

After missing the Nets' last two games due to back tightness, Porter led all players in scoring with a season-best 35 points. The 27-year-old forward also caught fire from beyond the arc, leading Brooklyn to its first home win by knocking down a season-high seven triples. He was also impactful on the defensive end, tallying multiple steals for the third time on the campaign. Porter has been a machine on the offensive end so far this season, and he has scored at least 20 points in 10 of his last 11 appearances.

Porter (back) has been upgraded to available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
