BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The last survivor of the Plumlee Family keeps doing his thing and with the Hornets not really knowing whether they should attempt a play-in run or just straight tank, nothing should change for Mason Plumlee at least for the next few weeks and days.
Plumlee keeps starting games in Charlotte, logging his usual 28-to-32 minutes a pop, and putting up numbers on a daily basis. Just this month and in five games played through Saturday, Plumlee has earned three double-doubles while finishing 8-12 and 13-9 in the other two games in which he failed at achieving that feat.
On the month, Plumlee is averaging nearly 13 PPG, 10+ RPG, and 3.5+ APG to go with more than one stock a pop. The shooting is sublime because Plumlee operates exclusively inside the paint (he's 66% from the field in December on 38 FGA) and the turnovers are low if that's of interest to you.
Even though he's not quite on the double-double average for the year (9.6 and 9.2 points and boards, respectively), there are only 19 players in the NBA keeping up those averages this season and none of them is rostered in fewer than 73% of all ESPN leagues out there.
Bonus tip: Plumlee is one of just five players (Jokic, Sabonis, Giannis, and Embiid) adding 4+ APG to those other two figures this season.
