Porter (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Utah.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Porter (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Porter will join Nikola Jokic, Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon as notable players cleared to play for the Nuggets on Wednesday. Porter is averaging 18.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 49.9 percent from the floor and 38.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Porter is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks with a lower back strain.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Porter contributed 24 points (10-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds and one block in 38 minutes during Sunday's 127-103 loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Porter put together one of his best outings of the season Sunday, leading all Nuggets in rebounds while posting a team-high-tying scoring total in an impressive double-double performance. Porter set a new season high in rebounds and has now hauled in 10 or more boards on 13 occasions. He has finished with a double-double in all but one of those 13 contests.

Porter produced 28 points (10-15 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Friday's 134-119 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray turned heads during Friday's win, but Porter's effort can't be overlooked. He barely missed from the field and finished just one rebound shy of a double-double. This is a huge bounce-back effort for the forward, who was shooting a mere 33.3 percent from the floor in his previous four games since the league resumed following the All-Star break.

Porter tallied 12 points (5-22 FG, 2-11 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes in Thursday's 121-112 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Porter contributed offensively and on the boards in Thursday's contest despite struggling shooting the ball from the field, finishing as one of three Nuggets with a double-digit rebound total en route to a double-double performance. Porter has reached double figures in rebounds in 11 contests, posting a double-double in 10 of those outings.

Porter closed with 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 125-116 victory over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

The sharpshooter posted his ninth double-double of the season Monday, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Aaron Gordon (25 points). However, Porter did struggle from three-point range against Indiana, and in three outings since the All-Star break, he has shot only 2-for-11 from downtown. The 26-year-old is on pace to shoot 41.0 percent from outside this season, which would mark his fourth season shooting more than 40 percent from beyond the arc across his six-year career.
