Iffy for Thursday
Porter (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against Houston, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis
This is a new issue for Porter, and the bad news for Brooklyn is that Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set. If Porter is unable to give it a go, there will be more minutes available for guys like Drake Powell, Ziaire Williams and Jalen Wilson.

Well-rounded effort in loss
Porter posted 27 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three steals across 36 minutes in Monday's 120-107 loss to the Warriors.
Analysis
Porter delivered an efficient performance while stuffing the stat sheet Monday, albeit in a losing effort. The 27-year-old forward tied the game-high mark in points, scoring at least 24 for a fifth consecutive contest. Additionally, he led the Nets in assists and has dished out at least five dimes in two of his last four games. While the sharpshooter is more known for his offensive prowess, Porter had an impactful night on the defensive end, chipping in a game- and season-high-tying three steals.

Drops 27 and 10 in victory
Porter accumulated 27 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 123-107 victory over the Timberwolves.
Analysis
MPJ turned in his second double-double in his past three games and third during the month of December. He was very efficient from the field, and converted all five free-throw attempts. Cam Thomas returning to the lineup after a near two-month absence had virtually no impact on Porter's scoring; this was the second time this season where each player topped 25 points, with the first instance having come Oct. 24 versus Cleveland.
