Let me at least explain myself on this Michael Porter Jr. NBA player prop. Porter has been abysmal for the Nuggets during the playoffs. Much of that can be attributed to his shoulder injury, but his lack of effort on defense is a significant problem, which is why Russell Westbrook is playing closing minutes over him. But the Nuggets desperately need his shooting heading into Game 3, especially if the Thunder are going to throw multiple bodies at Nikola Jokic. We’re banking on positive regression for Porter, who shoots the ball much better at home than on the road.
