The Denver Nuggets head into Game 5 of their first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers with three names on their injury report, including former league MVP Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook is listed as questionable due to a left foot issue, which has limited him to 22 minutes per game off the bench in the series.
In his four appearances, the veteran guard has averaged 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 33.3% from the field.
Porter Jr., who is dealing with a left shoulder sprain, is expected to be available, as he is officially listed as probable.
Porter has started every game this postseason and is averaging 10.5 points and 7.3 rebounds across 34 minutes per contest.
Backup center DaRon Holmes II remains out as he continues to recover from right Achilles tendon surgery.
The Nuggets will return to Ball Arena tonight, where they narrowly defeated the Clippers 112-110 in an overtime thriller in Game 1.
Since then, the series has seesawed, with the Clippers responding in Game 2 on the road before blowing out Denver in Game 3 at Intuit Dome.
The Nuggets edged Los Angeles in Game 4 by two points, evening the series at 2-2 and regaining homecourt advantage.
The Clippers enter Tuesday night at full strength, with no players listed on their official injury report.
A Game 5 victory would give either side a 3-2 edge in what has become one of the most evenly matched series of the Western Conference playoffs.
