With Michael Porter Jr. looking strong in his last 10 games, the Denver Nuggets small forward is primed to exceed the 15.5 point line against the Orlando Magic. 

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to face the Orlando Magic on Sunday, Michael Porter Jr. is in prime position to surpass the 15.5 point line. Over his last 10 games, the small forward has averaged 16.7 points, higher than the 15.5 point line, and has achieved this mark in 6 of those 10 games.

Porter Jr. has been one of the Nuggets' top scorers at home and away this season, averaging 14.2 points at home and 18.0 points on the road. His consistency renders him a dependable choice to go over the 15.5 point line against the Magic. 

The Magic have given up some of the most points to small forwards in the NBA this season, making Porter Jr. even more likely to exceed the line. He already holds a season-high of 31 points, a figure he could potentially reach against the Magic.

Porter Jr. comes off a 22-point performance in Denver's 115-103 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. He shot 8 for 14 from the field, making 53.3 percent, and was 4 for 8 from 3-point range, with a 33.3 percent success rate. Even with the return of Nikola Jokic to Denver's starting lineup, Porter Jr. should get enough minutes to go over the 15.5 point line against the Magic. Jokic being able to facilitate the offense and get MPJ open looks all night. He plays with a lot of confidence and surely his confidence will be sky high tonight. 

The Nuggets have won five games in a row and Porter Jr. has been a key contributor. With his current momentum and the favorable matchups, Porter Jr. should be able to exceed the 15.5 point line against the Magic. As Denver seeks to extend their winning streak, Porter Jr. and the team should have no problem putting up enough points to secure the victory.
