Porter came out of the gate on fire, dropping 22 points in the first half on 9-of-14 shooting, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, to power the Nets to a commanding 62-44 advantage. The 27-year-old scoring machine has delievered first-round value for fantasy purposes as one of the most impactful all-around performers over the past week, averaging 34.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks over three games during that span. The Nets are off until Friday when they face the Mavericks before closing out the week with a home tilt against the Bucks.

MPJ will be back after a one-game absence, which came on the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll be back to occupy his typical starting spot, and with Terance Mann available, that will push Tyrese Martin to the bench.

The injury is listed as “injury management,” so it’s likely just Porter Jr. getting a day of maintenance after playing on two of the last three nights. Drake Powell is also out for the Nets, so this would likely mean increased usage for Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney, and Terance Mann (ribs) could return to a larger role in the offense.

Porter continues to excel in his new surroundings with the Nets. The 27-year-old small forward had another 30-point game in another win for Brooklyn. Porter followed up his 35 points in the win over the Hornets on Monday with 33 points in the win over the Bulls Wednesday. He’s returned fifth-round fantasy value so far this season.

After recording three 30-point games last season with the Nuggets, Porter dropped his sixth of his first season with the Nets on Monday. The 35 points were a season-high for the forward, who was efficient and only lacked a blocked shot on his stat line. While there may be some concern about a late-season shutdown due to the Nets’ prioritization of the 2026 draft class, we haven’t reached that point yet. Porter is in a spot where he can be highly valuable, at least until the trade deadline.

Porter is back after a two-game absence and will fill the void left by the inactive Terance Mann. This means Martin will remain in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, giving him a slightly higher fantasy ceiling. Also, Dëmin is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Bucks for injury management reasons.

Both players were listed as probable on Sunday evening, so their availability is not surprising. MPJ will be back following a two-game absence which will erase Ziaire Williams’ streaming value. Clowney has yet to miss a game this season, and he should retain his usual spot in Brooklyn’s starting five.

MPJ is expected to be back after a two-game absence. Ziaire Williams started in his place for both games and was able to score in double figures twice. Williams will lose all streaming value with MPJ returning.

Porter is dealing with low back tightness. It’ll be his second consecutive game that he’s missed due to the injury. Without the 27-year-old small forward, Ziaire Williams will move into the starting lineup again. Williams is a streaming option in deeper formats.

Porter had a rough night, shooting 1-of-9 from beyond the arc as the Nets remained winless at home. That ends a streak of five straight games with at least three three-pointers, during which he shot 42.9 percent on 8.4 three-point attempts per game. Porter’s fantasy value is fine for now, but there remains the lingering concern that the Nets could choose to either trim his minutes or go the “injury management” route later this season. He’ll look to bounce back when the Nets host the 76ers on Friday.

Porter has been sizzling hot of late, topping 25 points for the fourth straight game. The 27-year-old playmaker has performed at a first-round level from a fantasy standpoint over the past two weeks, averaging 27.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and one steal across his last six contests. The Nets are back in action on Monday night with a showdown against the Knicks before returning to action on Friday with a back-to-back against the 76ers and Bucks to close out a three-game week.

Here’s an oversimplification: Porter was able to get whatever shot he wanted from anywhere on the floor against an undersized Celtics squad. He eclipsed 20 points for the eighth straight game and posted his fifth 30-point outing of the season, drilling four of six from deep and shooting nearly 62 percent overall as Boston had no answers for his blend of size, speed and athleticism. The 27-year-old scoring machine has delivered third-round fantasy production so far, averaging 24.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals through 14 games.

Since missing the Nets’ November 3 loss to the Timberwolves, Porter has scored at least 21 points in seven straight games. During this stretch, the Nets forward has averaged 27.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes, shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 89.6 percent from the foul line. That’s the production many fantasy managers hoped Porter would provide in his new home, posting gaudy numbers for a rebuilding team. The lone concern for the rest of the season is a potential shutdown as the front office prioritizes maximizing its draft lottery odds.

Porter fell just short of a triple-double as he powered the Nets to their second win of the season in a battle between Eastern Conference bottom-dwellers. He dominated the first half, knocking down six of his first eight shots and scoring 19 points to give Brooklyn a 10-point halftime lead, then tacked on 15 more after the break as the Nets cruised to a comfortable victory. The 24-year-old has emerged as Brooklyn’s go-to option this season, averaging 23.3 points and 7.7 rebounds through 11 games. The Nets face a three-game week ahead, including back-to-back matchups with the Celtics before taking on the Raptors next weekend.

MPJ provided his usual supply of buckets, but his playmaking was what was intriguing. His previous career-high for assists was six, but he matched that mark in the first quarter and surpassed it by halftime. He didn’t add any more dimes after the break, but he was still able to have an excellent night despite the loss. MPJ will continue to be a fantasy stud on a tanking team, though managers shouldn’t expect him to dish out that many assists often.

In the two-plus games the Nets have played since losing Cam Thomas to a hamstring injury on November 5, Porter has tallied 32, 28 and 25 points. And while the shot attempts have increased, MPJ has shot 47 percent or better in each of those outings. Whether he can continue to shoot at the clip or not, Porter is in a spot where he can put up massive individual numbers. The lone concern would be Porter losing out on minutes so the youngsters can get additional run, but that should not be an issue in early November. The Nets play three games during Week 4.

Porter Jr. was the most productive offensive performer for the Nets on Friday. He was the only one to score at least 20 points, and his high production from beyond the arc nearly carried him to hit the 30-point mark. The former NBA champion has scored 60 combined points over the past two games while sinking nine three-pointers. Given the status of the Nets roster, MPJ should remain a high-volume scorer with upside as a rebounder throughout the season.

Every team in the NBA now has at least one victory, with the Nets getting off the schneid on Wednesday. Porter did most of the heavy lifting offensively, as Cam Thomas exited after just six minutes due to injury. As expected, he’s proven to be more valuable to fantasy managers in Brooklyn than he was in Denver. Porter is providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, one round better than his Yahoo! ADP. The Nets play two more games during Week 3, starting with the Pistons on Friday.

Porter is available after missing Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves. Noah Clowney moved into the starting lineup and knocked down four three-pointers. With Porter available, Clowney’s fantasy ceiling will be lowered considerably.

Porter had a rough night from beyond the arc, making just one of his 12 three-point attempts, negatively impacting the field-goal percentage. However, he was elite on the glass, grabbing a career-high 17 rebounds. Porter heads into Brooklyn’s four-game Week 3 providing top-75 value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP. However, while his fantasy ceiling is higher with the Nets than with the Nuggets, there may be some concern regarding a late-season shutdown with Brooklyn rebuilding.

Porter notched his second 30-point game of the season on Wednesday, one shy of his tally for the 2024-25 campaign. While he’s no longer in a situation where contending for a title is the expectation, moving from Denver to Brooklyn has raised Porter’s offensive ceiling. Porter has been close to a top-50 fantasy player thus far, with limited defensive production and a 70 percent mark at the foul line weighing down his value.

Unsurprisingly, Porter has been featured heavily on offense to start the season. However, that has only led to one big scoring night, and it wasn’t on Monday. This was an efficient night for MPJ, but he set a season-low for shot attempts. MPJ was drafted in the sixth round of Yahoo! leagues with the idea that he would be a high-volume scorer for the Nets to start the year. He’ll need to shoot more against the Hawks on Wednesday to bounce back.

Having shot nearly 49 percent from the field in his first two games as a Net, Porter cooled down on Sunday. However, he provided solid value in rebounds, assists and steals, playing 37 minutes. While the move east means Porter won’t be on a team considered a title contender, it raised his fantasy ceiling. MPJ isn’t a “sell high” player after three games, but that’s something for fantasy managers to track, especially if they’re concerned that the Nets could look to prioritize their rookies even more later this season.

Porter Jr. bounced back from a 12-point debut with the Nets to have 31 points agains the Cavaliers on Tuesday. The 27-year-old power forward’s playmaking from the first game where he had five assists in 25 minutes didn’t carry over to game two. Still, Porter Jr. played 36 minutes and took 22 shots in a relatively close game, evidence of the significant role he has in the Nets’ offense this year.

Porter Jr. struggled in his regular season debut with his new team after an offseason trade from the Nuggets. The 27-year-old power forward is still trending up as a fantasy asset, though. Porter Jr. led the Nets in shot attempts with 15 in just 25 minutes of play. He also had five assists. So while Porter Jr. didn’t shoot the ball well, he still took the most shots on the team and wasn’t hogging the ball with five assists in 25 minutes. There will be better nights in the future for Porter Jr.

Porter Jr. had scored 13, 13 and 15 points in the other three Nets preseason games, but was clearly a primary weapon in Brooklyn’s offense. The 27-year-old power forward had his shot working on Friday and dropped 34 points on the Raptors. Porter Jr.'s fantasy value appears to be benefiting from the offseason trade from the Nuggets. He’s certainly going to have some games like this during the regular season.

Porter has scored 13 points in both of Brooklyn’s preseason games, but he’s been a prominent figure within Jordi Fernandez’s offense. His role will remain prominent due to Brooklyn’s lack of proven scorers, with the most significant concern being that MPJ’s playing time could decrease during the latter stages of the regular season. Porter’s new role in his new home makes him worth the risk for fantasy managers, especially those competing in points leagues.

MPJ made his debut for the Nets after spending the last six years playing for the Nuggets. It was only a preseason game, but he was heavily involved on offense in just 17 minutes of playing time. He has been a reliable spacing wing for Denver, but he should see a huge bump in usage this season in Brooklyn.

Due to the amount of money locked into their most important players, the Nuggets had limited options to improve their roster. One of those options was to trade Porter, and they’re reportedly done so. Having struggled with injuries early in his career, MPJ has played 77 and 81 games in his last two seasons. In 2024-25, he averaged 18.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.5 three-pointers per game, shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 76.8 percent from the foul line. While Porter is no longer on a team with immediate championship ambitions, he moves to a spot where there’s the chance to provide added fantasy value. Porter’s ADP should increase substantially in the fall.
