Good to go for Tuesday
Porter (personal) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
Porter has the green light to return from a two-game absence. He's going to be seeing his name quite a lot in the rumor mill leading up to the trade deadline, but it remains to be seen what direction the Nets choose to go. Across 12 appearances in January, Porter averaged 25.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.4 minutes per game.

Won't play Sunday
Porter (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
Porter was initially slated to be available Sunday but will ultimately be inactive due to personal reasons, marking his second straight absence due to personal reasons. His continued absence could open up more opportunities for Drake Powell and Jalen Wilson off the bench, while the Nets are likely to stick with the same starting lineup from Friday featuring Egor Demin, Nolan Traore, Terance Mann, Danny Wolf and Nic Claxton. Porter's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Lakers.

Available for Sunday
Porter (personal) will be available for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
Porter will be back in action following a one-game absence. Over his last six games, Porter holds averages of 24.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.7 three-pointers in 33.3 minutes per contest.

Won't play Friday
Porter has been ruled out for Friday's game in Utah due to personal reasons, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis
Friday's game is the second of a back-to-back set, so Porter likely would have been rested anyway, but instead, he'll skip the game for personal reasons. With both Porter and Noah Clowney (back) unavailable for Friday's game, Danny Wolf and Egor Demin could see a sizeable uptick in usage and Drake Powell could start. Porter's next chance to play will come Sunday in Detroit.

Rolls to 38-point night
Porter recorded 38 points (13-28 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks across 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis
Porter was highly effective from beyond the arc Thursday, which allowed the Nets to stay competitive into the fourth quarter even after falling behind early by 19 points. He tacked on 21 of his 38 points from deep and put the finishing touches on his big night by recording his first double-double since Jan. 4. Porter has now put up 30 or more points in three of his last four matchups.

Bounces back with massive total
Porter ended Tuesday's 106-102 loss to the Suns with 36 points (15-24 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 37 minutes.
Analysis
Porter's last two games are a tale of opposites. After posting his worst scoring total of the season against the Clippers, he turned around and recorded a season-high 36 points in the narrow loss to the Suns. Porter's seasonal average of 25.2 points has been exceeded 20 times this season. Although his success hasn't translated into more wins for the Nets, he has been one of the most consistent fantasy performers in the Eastern Conference.
