Michael Porter Jr. (back) out for Denver on Monday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. will not play Monday in the team's game against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Porter left Saturday night's game early due to lower back pain, and the 23-year-old has now been ruled out for Monday's contest. P.J. Dozier was the biggest beneficiary of extra minutes last night, and that would likely be the case against the Heat as well.
In 9 games this season, Porter has averaged 9.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 23.3 FanDuel points.
