Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Porter is returning after missing the final two games before the All-Star break due to right knee tendinitis. He was given plenty of time to rest and is healthy enough to suit up on Thursday. Fantasy managers can safely get Porter back in their lineups ahead of tip-off on Thursday. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked to see an injury maintenance day on Friday.--Andy Webb
