Otto Porter Gets Out Of His Slump

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter was in a bit of a slump since the All-Star break. But Porter put most of that behind him with a strong game against the Denver Nuggets.

Porter scored 22 points, shooting 10-for-15 from the floor and 2-for-3 from three. He also had four steals and three rebounds in the game. It was Porter’s first 20-point game since the All-Star break.

He went scoreless for the first time all season back on March 3 against the Toronto Raptors. With games against the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves, expect Porter’s good shooting to continue.

Porter is shooting an average of 56.5 percent from the floor and 53.3 percent from three against all three teams so far this season. He is averaging 14.6 points and 6.0 rebounds against them as well.
