Michael Porter Jr. Scores 31 Points In Just 24 Minutes
2 years agoDenver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. was an unstoppable scoring machine in Sunday's 126-103 victory over the Bulls, racking up a season-high 31 points on 11-for-16 shooting in just 24 minutes of action. He nailed six shots from deep with nine attempts and completed his line with one rebound, two assists, two steals and zero turnovers. Porter Jr. had managed just seven points in his previous outing against Boston, so this was a fantastic bounce-back performance from the 24-year-old. He had only one board on Sunday, but Porter Jr. has put in solid work on the glass throughout the campaign, averaging 6.4 rebounds, and he even managed to pick up some defensive stats against Chicago, which typically doesn't happen. Porter Jr. will look to replicate his Sunday's performance Wednesday night against the Knicks and their leaky defense. OKC has just dropped 145 points on them, and the Knicks are ranked only 22nd in defensive efficiency.
