Denver Nuggets power forward Michael Porter Jr. (left heel contusion) is doubtful to play Monday versus the Houston Rockets.
Porter has been downgraded from questionable and is heading for a third straight absence. Bruce Brown Jr. will likely make another start on Monday for Denver. He had a triple-double last Wednesday and added four steals, but Brown was quieter in the most recent game (8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists).
numberFire's models project Brown for 34.0 minutes and 31.4 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $5,700 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Nuggets’ implied total (120.0) is second-highest out of 20 active teams today.
