Michael Porter Jr.

PF, Denver Nuggets

Michael Porter Jr. notched his second straight 30-point double-double on Wednesday, scoring 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting with 15 rebounds and five threes in 36 minutes.

Porter scored a career-high 37 points on Monday and followed it up with an equally impressive stat line. Porter has shot 23-of-35 from the field and 9-of-16 from deep in the past two games. He is on a crazy hot streak, but his shooting is going to regress at some point. Will Barton, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris sat out again on Wednesday and Porter's usage will take a hit when those three return. It will be interesting to see if the Nuggets keep Porter in the starting lineup over Barton once all players are healthy. MPJ has a high ceiling in fantasy, but he is still an injury risk and has yet to string together long stretches of consistent production in his rookie season.
