Warriors Injury Report: Otto Porter Jr. Questionable For Game 6

The Warriors listed forward Otto Porter Jr. as questionable with right foot soreness ahead of their closeout Game 6 on Friday.

Otto Porter Jr. Injury Update

Porter Jr. missed the second half of Wednesday's 39-point shellacking at the hands of the Grizzlies after developing the soreness. 

He has not missed time with season with right foot injuries, but has sat sparingly for management on his previously-broken left foot. 

The 28-year-old has become a key piece of the rotation after injuries to Andre Iguodala and Gary Payton II significantly thinned out the Warriors' stable of wings.

In the first two games of the series, Porter Jr. averaged three points and 8.5 rebounds on 25% shooting, but in Game 3 and 4 – both wins – he is scoring 12.5 points with 3.5 rebounds on 7-11 shooting from three-point range.

DFS and Betting Impact

Rookie Jonathan Kuminga has started the last three games and is likely to start once again. He and Nemanja Bjelica will each play additional minutes if Porter Jr. can't go, while small forward Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson will each likely take more shots. 

The Warriors are favored by 8.5 points on FanDuel Sportsbook and Andrew Wiggins' over/under for points is set at 15.5.
