Michael Porter Jr. (personal) ruled out Tuesday for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets power forward Michael Porter Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Porter has been downgraded from questionable and will miss a second straight game due to a personal matter. Bruce Brown is expected to start again in place of Porter. He played 36 minutes on Sunday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder and scored 14 points (6-13 field goals, 2-5 3-pointers) with 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. Christian Braun is another potential beneficiary from Porter's absence on Tuesday.
In 15 games without MPJ this season, Brown has a 15.4% usage rate and is averaging 28.2 FanDuel points in 33.7 minutes per contest. He has a $5,900 FanDuel salary on Tuesday's seven-game slate.
