The Nuggets head on the road to take on the Raptors on Wednesday night. One player that has excelled in this matchup is Michael Porter Jr. Last season, MPJ played against the Raptors twice and tallied 20 and 23 points on elite 3 point efficiency with 4 and 5 makes. The Raptors continue to allow their opponents to shoot extremely well from 3 point range this season. Their opponents shoot 38.3% from deep. Those 3 point looks should help open up MPJ and the Nuggets’ offense. He has exceeded this number in 57% of games this season and is averaging 16.5 per game. I do think there is some value on 20+ (+320 FD) as well though. He has hit 20+ in 39% of games and given the 23.8% implied on the (+320) there is a bit of value when considering MPJ’s history against the Raptors and his propensity to score in bunches.
