Porter closed with 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old forward led all scorers on the afternoon, but only three other Nets even scored in double digits. Porter has been productive since missing the last two games before the All-Star break with knee tendinitis, and over the last six games he's averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.2 steals.

Porter logged 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during the Nets' 148-111 loss to the Celtics on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Porter entered Friday's game having scored at least 25 points in each of his three outings against Boston, and it looked like he was on his way to another big night after scoring 13 points in the first half. However, the Nets lost control of the game in the second half, which resulted in Porter and three other starters sitting for the entire fourth quarter. The veteran forward has averaged 21.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals over 32.1 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Porter closed with 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and three assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-114 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Porter once again led the Nets in scoring, notching his 25th game of the season with at least 25 points, though the 27-year-old also failed to pull down a rebound for the first time all year. Through seven games in February, the former Nuggets forward has cooled off, averaging 19.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.7 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest.

Porter finished with 18 points (8-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes in Sunday's 115-104 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Porter led Brooklyn in scoring but struggled to find his jumper, converting just one shot from beyond the arc. The forward has been mired in a significant shooting slump in February, entering Sunday converting 36.8 percent from the field and just 17.1 percent from deep while attempting 8.2 threes per game over his previous five appearances. Porter has shown he can still generate volume scoring, but his overall impact diminishes when the efficiency dips to this extent.

Porter contributed 22 points (6-16 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 86-105 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Porter was poor from beyond the arc but still put up a solid line, leading the team in scoring despite the Nets' offensive struggles. Friday marked the second leg of a back-to-back set in which he also played the first game. While this is encouraging for his availability moving forward, caution is warranted given how tanking teams are managing their top players across the league.

Porter (knee) finished with 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 112-84 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The Cavaliers quickly turned Thursday's game into a runaway, resulting in low workloads for most of the key players on both sides. Porter missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to right knee tendinitis, so he may have been eased back into action with a modest workload even if the Nets had kept the contest more competitive.

Porter (knee) will play Thursday against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Porter missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to right knee tendinitis. He's had plenty of time to rest, however, and he's no longer appearing on the injury report. Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so a maintenance day could be on the table for Friday.

Porter (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Pacers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Porter will be sidelined for a second straight game as the Nets continue to exercise caution. Porter's next chance to return comes Feb. 19 in Oklahoma City, Brooklyn's first game after the All-Star break. Drake Powell, Danny Wolf and Ziaire Williams are all candidates for increased roles in Porter's absence.

Porter has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Bulls due to right knee tendinitis.
EDGE Analysis
With Porter watching from the sidelines Monday, Terance Mann could return to the first unit, and there will be more minutes available for Ziaire Williams. Noah Clowney should also see a sizeable uptick in usage with Porter unavailable. For now, Porter should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers.

Porter contributed 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-113 victory over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old forward bounced back from a nine-point effort Thursday in Orlando, leading the Nets in scoring and reaching 20 points for the ninth time in his last 12 appearances. Over that stretch, Porter is averaging 22.9 points, 6.5 boards, 3.5 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals, and with the trade deadline now in the rear view mirror, he may be able to regain his focus that saw him score in double digits in 35 straight games to begin the season before finally falling short Jan. 25.
