There’s been a lot of discussion around the idea of playing Michael Porter Jr. and Paul Millsap together of late. Some of that has been prompted by me of course. It’s difficult to foresee that duo being impactful in a playoff series for the Nuggets on the floor at the same time for a number of reasons, and the most important reason why is reliability.
In 258 minutes of playing time, the Porter-Millsap has been outscored by two points. That may not seem like a lot, but it’s Michael Porter Jr.’s worst plus-minus duo on the team (greater than 100 minutes played together).
