Wednesday night, on the eve of the deadline, Porter got down to business and showed again just how valuable he can be. He tied a career-high with 39 points on 16 of 23 shooting, hauled in 12 rebounds and dished four assists in Denver’s 144-119 rout of New Orleans. It was the Nuggets’ fourth consecutive win.

Michael Porter Jr. has kept his focus on swishing shots, not the swirling trade rumors. He’s tuned them out, in fact, and turned up his game. On Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets' sharpshooting forward tied a career high with 39 points in a 144-119 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

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.
