It s really worse than another game! How should the Nuggets arrange the playing time of the forward general next?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder played at home and made a strong effort in the final quarter, defeating the Denver Nuggets 112-105, winning this key battle at Kings Mountain. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of this series to 3-2, not only gaining the advantage but also getting the match point; while the Nuggets will face a desperate battle in the series G6.

In this game, the Nuggets' starting small forward Michael Porter Jr. once again played a disaster-level game. Porter Jr. played 29 minutes and 08 seconds in the game, made 1 of 7 shots and 0 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 2 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and had 1 turnover and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -6. Porter Jr. still couldn't find his touch on the offensive end. He still got a lot of outside shooting opportunities, but he missed all the opportunities. Porter Jr.'s support for the team in other aspects is very limited, and he cannot take on more responsibilities on the defensive end. Unfortunately, other Nuggets players are not much better than Porter Jr. Therefore, even if Porter Jr. is in a bad state, the Nuggets have no way to replace him in the field, and he still has to stay on the field for a long time.

In the NBA regular season this season, Porter Jr. made a total of 77 appearances in 82 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 39.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.8%. So far in the playoffs, Porter Jr. has averaged 31.9 minutes in the first 12 games, with averaging 9.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and has 1 turnover and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage is 38.8%, three-point shooting percentage is 36.1%, and free throw shooting percentage is 71.4%.

I have to say that Porter Jr.'s effect on the court was so bad. He was affected by injuries during the playoffs, and his offensive efficiency was very bad, and his performance on the defensive end was also very unsatisfactory. With the in-depth performance of Porter Jr.'s condition can be said to have been declining continuously as his performance in the playoffs, his offensive efficiency is getting worse and worse, and his various data have also experienced a cliff-like decline compared to the regular season. The key problem is that Porter Jr. cannot play his worth in almost every game. I really don’t know how the Nuggets will deal with Porter Jr., or can they stimulate the abilities of other bench players and find ways to reduce Porter Jr.’s playing time?
