Mason Plumlee Latest News
Returning to bench role
Plumlee is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Jazz. Plumlee will return to his regular bench role since Jusuf Nurkic is back and available to reclaim his starting spot. Plumlee isn't expected to see enough minutes off the bench to be a reliable fantasy option.
Blocks four shots
Plumlee accumulated seven points (2-5 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to Orlando. Plumlee made his third start in a row while filling in for the injured Jusuf Nurkic (calf). In those games, Plumlee was a serviceable fantasy streamer with averages of 4.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 blocks. He could be worth a look again if Nurkic is unable to return Dec. 13 against the Jazz.
Moving to starting role
Plumlee is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pelicans. The Suns will tweak things in the frontcourt and Plumlee will get the nod as the rim protector, sending Oso Ighodaro to the bench. The veteran big man is averaging 7.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game in four starts this season.
Slides to bench Tuesday
Plumlee will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Spurs. With Oso Ighodaro joining the starting five, Plumlee will retreat to the bench. In his last five outings (two starts), the big man averaged 3.2 points and 4.8 rebounds across 13.0 minutes per game.
Starting Saturday
Plumlee is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Plumlee will move into the starting lineup due to the absence of Jusuf Nurkic (ankle). The veteran big man is averaging 9.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in his previous three starts this season.
Grabs 11 rebounds in loss
Plumlee ended Monday's 109-99 loss to the Magic with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists in 23 minutes. Plumlee filled in for Jusuf Nurkic (ankle), who had to take a day off after attempting to play through an injury. Although Plumlee didn't produce as a scorer, he held up in the paint with 11 boards and outdid Goga Bitadze in the category. If Nurkic needs more time to heal, Plumlee will be in line for another start against the Knicks on Wednesday evening.
Getting starting nod Sunday
Plumlee will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports. The Suns will opt for a big lineup with Plumlee starting alongside Jusuf Nurkic in the frontcourt -- Josh Okogie will slide to the bench. Plumlee has carved out a significant role with the Suns this year, during which he has averaged 5.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.5 blocks across 17.3 minutes per game in 12 regular-season appearances (one start).
Shines in spot start
Plumlee produced 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Jazz. Plumlee turned back the clock, recording his first double-double of the season. Jusuf Nurkic was sidelined with an ongoing ankle concern, allowing Plumlee to start for the first time since joining the Suns. If Nurkic is forced to miss additional time, Plumlee is likely to hold onto the starting role, making him a nightly double-double threat, with a proven ability to provide serviceable assist numbers from the center position.
Set to start against Utah
Plumlee is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Plumlee will replace Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Plumlee is averaging 4.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 16.8 minutes across his 10 appearances so far this season but could see an uptick in playing time against Utah.
