FANTASY NEWS

Plays through illness for 18 points

Porter drew the start despite battling an unspecified illness but was fairly productive in the loss. Porter has plodded along with pedestrian scoring numbers over the past three games due to lower-than-expected shot volume, but his 16 attempts Wednesday is a move in the right direction. Porter can soar well above 20 points with enough opportunity, but he sometimes lacks the necessary aggression to make those opportunities happen on his own.

Solid total in loss

Denver's backcourt continues to deal with Jamal Murray's (ankle) absence, and although Caldwell-Pope can be a volatile fantasy prospect, he's delivered solid assist and rebound totals alongside one of his best scoring results over the past two weeks. Short of putting Murray and Reggie Jackson o the floor at the same time, the Nuggets lack playoff experience in the backcourt, so they'll beed to see more production from Caldwell-Pope down the stretch.

Double-doubles with 10 assists

Jokic got the extra assist to hit another double-double, a milestone he missed twice over the past 10 games. The MVP candidate is dealing with multiple injuries at the moment, but the team cant shut him down yet due to an ongoing battle for first seed in the Western Conference. If the Nuggets create sone space between Minnesota and Oklahoma City in the coming week, we may see Jokic's usage draw down to get rest for the playoffs.
