The Denver Nuggets knew they were going to need more from Michael Porter Jr. for the rest of the season, and so far, the 23-year-old second year player has delivered.
Amid injuries to Jamal Murray, Monte Morris, and Will Barton within the last two weeks, the Nuggets have been forced to reorient their offense in creative ways. With a starting backcourt of Facundo Campazzo and PJ Dozier, the Nuggets know they need to make life easy for those two on the scoring front.
Enter Michael Porter Jr., coming off a career high seven made threes against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.
