Unstable, Michael Porter Jr. s data fluctuates violently, highlighting the pressure of the Nuggets to play the Clippers

Michael Porter II's data fluctuations highlighted his unstable performance, while the Nuggets are preparing to face the Clippers in a crucial game seven. The Denver Nuggets failed to complete their first-round series Thursday night, losing 105-111 to the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 6 and were forced to play a decisive game seven at the Ball Arena. One of the most compelling figures in the loss is the shocking plus-negative figures associated with Michael Porter II, whose playoff instability has become an increasingly worrying issue for Denver.

Potter played a key role in Game 5, helping the Nuggets win with a team-high plus-negative value of +34.

However, in Game 6, Porter's plus-negative value dropped to the worst -24 in the game, while other Denver players did not have a lower plus-negative value than -6. The Denver Post's Bennett Duranto highlighted the wave of Porter on X (formerly Twitter), calling it "one of the craziest roller coaster-style two races you've ever seen."

Potter had difficulty finding the rhythm on the offensive end. He made 2 of 5 shots in 24 minutes of the game, scoring only 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. The only player with a worse plus or negative value on the Nuggets is DeAndrew Jordan, who has a plus or negative value of only -6, and he only played for 3 minutes. The performance of Michael Porter Jr. in the series was ups and downs, highlighting the pressure facing the Nuggets, which continued the volatility of the entire series. In his first playoff game, he made 1 of 4 shots and scored only 3 points and 4 rebounds. In the third game, he made 2 of 9 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, scored 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.

Potter also showed his potential on the offensive end. In the second game, he scored 15 points and grabbed the game's highest 15 rebounds, plus one assist and one steal, making 6 of 11 shots in the game. In Game 4, he once again showed efficient performance, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and making 4 of 7 three-pointers.

Despite his ups and downs in Porter's performance, he is still an indispensable part of the Nuggets' playoff rotation. In the six games of the series, he averaged 10.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, shooting as high as 44% from the field, shooting as high as 46.2% from three-pointers, and playing time as long as 33.2 minutes.

However, for a Denver Nuggets eager to return to the championship, Porter's defensive mistakes and instability on the field did not come in time. With the Nuggets returning to Denver on Saturday night for Game 7, everyone will focus on whether Porter can perform best under pressure.

Game 7 will start on TNT TV at 7:30 pm EST, and the winner will advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs against league leader Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder ranked first in the NBA with a regular season record of 68-14 and swept the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round series.
