Coach Michael Malone wants Michael Porter Jr. to shoot early and often. So he did. Porter scored 30 points on 11-of-16 shooting in the Nuggets’ 112-90 victory over the offensively-challenged Orlando Magic Thursday night at Ball Arena.

Michael Porter Jr. is keeping his focus on the rim, not the trade rumors. He’s tuned them out, in fact, and turned up his game.

In this new trade idea from Vishwesha Kumar of Fadeaway World, the Nuggets part with Michael Porter Jr. and land some strong depth for the playoff run. The deal would be between Denver and the Atlanta Hawks, sending De'Andre Hunter to the Nuggets.
