Michael Porter Jr. was fantastic in his return to Denver, but Brooklyn came up just short.

Both the Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets may be without multiple key players in Thursday night's matchup.

The Nets are resting several starters vs. the Nuggets on Thursday in Denver despite their six-game losing streak.

NBA Champion, Michael Porter Jr., has taken the league by storm, showing his true potential as a number one option on the Brooklyn Nets. The forward was traded from the Denver Nuggets over the summer to the Nets in exchange for Cam Johnson and a 2032 first-round pick to give Denver more financial flexibility.

The Brooklyn Nets ruled out guards Cam Thomas and Nolan Traore for Sunday's game at the Los Angeles Clippers.
