It will be interesting to see what happens when Luka comes back, who loses the starting spot. If it is Ntilikina, defense will be bad with Luka/KP/Brunson on perimeter. On the other hand, Brunson kind of doesn't deserve to be coming off the bench.
Seems pretty straight forward that Powell would go to the bench at some point, even if he played better recently.
I get the whole PF Porzingis Injury Protection Act, but at some point you also have to test what the best configuration for the play-offs and for future roster construction is. I´d roll with this starting five, when everybody is back healthy....
OFFENSE / DEFENSE
Doncic / Ntilikina
Brunson / Brunson
Ntilikina / DFS
DFS / Doncic
Porzingis /Porzingis
Other options would be Green, Brown or Bullock for Ntilikina.
More play-making, more defense, more quickness.
