Michael Porter Jr.'s fourth straight 30-point game not enough in Nets' 119-111 loss to MavericksAnthony Davis scored 20 of his 24 points in the second half to go with 14 rebounds and three blocks, and Cooper Flagg had 22 points and eight assists as the Dallas Mavericks rallied to beat the Brooklyn Nets 119-111 on Friday night.
Michael Porter Jr. notched 34 points (12-of-20 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and six three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Mavericks.Porter dropped another gaudy point total on Friday, extending his streak of 30-point games to four. This is the player many envisioned him being after the Nets acquired him from the Nuggets. The lingering concern is that the Nets could decide later this season to prioritize their younger, unproven options, which would likely come at Porter's expense. Well, we aren't there yet, so Porter managers should enjoy the ride.
Michael Porter Jr.'s 35 points, Nic Claxton's triple-double lead Nets over Pelicans, 119-101Michael Porter Jr. tied his season high with 35 points, Nic Claxton had his second triple-double and the Brooklyn Nets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 119-101 on Saturday.
Michael Porter Jr. (back) is not on the injury report against the Pelicans on Saturday.MPJ will be back after a one-game absence, which came on the second night of a back-to-back. He'll be back to occupy his typical starting spot, and with Terance Mann available, that will push Tyrese Martin to the bench.
Ziaire Williams notched 23 points (7-of-14 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Jazz.With Terance Mann limited to 18 minutes after a two-game absence and the hard fall he took during the second half of Thursday's game, there was more room for Williams to contribute despite coming off the bench. The former lottery pick finished with his second 20-point game of the season and first since October 24. However, while Thursday was good, Williams' season-long fantasy value remains subpar. The only reason to consider adding him ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans would be if Mann and Michael Porter Jr. can't play.
