Mason Plumlee Posts Double-Double Against Nets
Mason Plumlee posted 13 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's loss to the Nets. The veteran center is averaging 10.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game this season and is currently on a nice little streak of posting four double-doubles in the past five games. Though his daily numbers may not be explosive, they are efficient. Given his decent scoring and rebounding abilities, Plumlee should remain on fantasy radars for managers. He has a very favorable matchup on Saturday against a bottom-five Wizards defense.

Mason Plumlee Moves Into Starting Five
Mason Plumlee will shift into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers are going to need Plumlee to step up with Ivica Zubac (calf) sidelined for at least the next four weeks. Plumlee will get the starting nod on Tuesday, while Daniel Theis operates as the primary backup center. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Theis gets a few starts depending on the matchup. Both players could have streaming appeal depending on the matchup, but aren't must-have fantasy options.

Mason Plumlee Out With MCL Sprain
Mason Plumlee (knee) has suffered a left MCL sprain, sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The big guy was injured Monday against the Knicks and had to be carried off the court. He has left the team's road trip to undergo further evaluation in Los Angeles, meaning Plumlee is out for at least the next two games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against Brooklyn. Plumlee's injury leaves the Clippers without a proper backup for starting center Ivica Zubac, although Brooklyn uses a lot of smaller lineups, and his absence will be more missed in the next game against Dallas. P.J. Tucker should get extra minutes off the bench with Plumlee out, but he's never been a great fantasy producer.

Mason Plumlee Won't Return On Monday
Mason Plumlee (knee) won't return to Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This doesn't come as a surprise after Plumlee needed to be carried off the court and into the locker room. The team is calling the injury a sprained left knee, which means Plumlee could miss some time from this issue. Ivica Zubac figures to play heavy minutes with the Clippers thin at the center spot. Possibly, the Clippers decide to go small-ball with Moussa Diabate and P.J. Tucker. Regardless, Zubac is likely to benefit the most with the loss of Plumlee.

Mason Plumlee Carried To Locker Room
Mason Plumlee (knee) suffered what looked to be a significant injury during Monday's game against the New York Knicks. The big man appeared to have hyperextended his knee while attempting to get a loose ball. The veteran center needed to be carried back to the locker room in order to be further examined. The fact Plumlee wasn't able to walk is not a good sign. Fantasy managers should get another update on his status later in the night. In the meantime, Ivica Zubac is likely to play big minutes with the Clippers extremely thin at the center spot.
