Michael Porter Jr. believes he can sustain his red-hot shooting from beyond the arc. “Fifty percent (from) three, to me, is not an unrealistic number,” Porter said. “I’m not saying that that’s easy to do, but I missed a lot of shots that I feel like I should make, and I’m at 50%. … I think in high school I shot like 75% from 3. Like, literally. MPJ is hitting 3s at a 49% clip so far this season and is 42% for his career. He could be in for a big stretch with games coming up vs. the Thunder, Spurs (twice) and Pacers.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 12-of-18 from the field and 10-of-11 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 116-108 win over the Magic, scoring 34 points with four rebounds, six assists, three steals, and two blocks in 33 minutes. SGA did commit six turnovers, but the overall line more than made up for that one issue. He’s surpassed the 30-point mark in four of the six games he’s appeared in, and injury (or load management) is all that should concern managers who have Gilgeous-Alexander rostered. Who needs 3-pointers when your point guard can post gaudy lines like this one? The other negative from Tuesday’s win: SGA’s streak of made free throws without a miss ended at 34. We’re sure that he’ll be OK.
