Michael Porter Jr. had 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons.
Porter returned to the starting lineup Tuesday after resting for Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. The 27-year-old small forward had 19 points, but played only 22 minutes due to a blowout. The good news for Porter managers is that the Nets have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Hawks on Thursday.
