Porter posted 19 points (5-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and a steal across 29 minutes in Sunday's 130-93 loss to the Mavericks.
Porter led Brooklyn in scoring while falling one rebound shy of a double-double, but his shooting efficiency remained a concern. His four three-pointers helped preserve his fantasy production despite the lopsided defeat. Porter continues to offer considerable value through scoring, perimeter shooting and rebounding, as he has notched at least 19 points and nine boards in four of his last five appearances.

Nets' Michael Porter: Wants to improve off ball
Rotowire
Porter said his goal this season is to become the best off-ball player in the NBA, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
The forward believes his cutting and catch-and-shoot ability give him the tools to reach that level, though he emphasized that conditioning will be an important factor. Porter should have plenty of opportunities to showcase those skills as he looks to have another significant role with Brooklyn.

Nets' Michael Porter: Could see fewer touches
Rotowire
Porter (hamstring) could see his offensive role shift after the Nets acquired Julius Randle, who figures to become one of the focal points of Brooklyn's half-court offense, Sameer Kumar of SI.com reports.
While Porter should continue to benefit from Randle's ability to draw defensive attention, Randle's high-usage style may reduce Porter's shot volume after he emerged as the team's top-scoring option last season. Porter should still have plenty of fantasy appeal due to his elite shooting and rebounding, but his scoring upside may take a slight hit if Randle dominates possessions as expected.

Rotowire
An MRI confirmed a left hamstring strain for Porter, and he will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks.
In three weeks from today's date, the Nets will have only three games remaining on their schedule, so there's a decent chance we won't see Porter in uniform again this season. Danny Wolf, Josh Minott and Ziaire Williams (foot) will likely help fill the void while Porter is out.
