Michael Porter Jr. (heel) questionable Wednesday for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets power forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is questionable for Wednesday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Nikola Jokic (conditioning) and Jamal Murray (conditioning) are also questionable, so Porter will have a larger role on offense if he can play and the other two are out. Bruce Brown and Davon Reed will be in line for more work if Porter is unavailable for the second leg of the Nuggets' back-to-back. He played 33 minutes on Tuesday and had 18 points with 8 rebounds and a pair of blocks.
numberFire's models project MPJ for 30.9 minutes and 29.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $6,200 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Nuggets' implied total (117.75) is tied for No. 6 out of 24 active teams today.
