Snags eight rebounds Plumlee tallied four points (1-1 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 18 minutes in Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Pelicans.

The veteran journeyman started a stretch of 11 games in December and January before being benched in favor of trade acquisition Nick Richards. Since returning to the bench, in 18 games, the 34-year-old is averaging 4.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 17.7 minutes per game.

Impact Plumlee had a strong showing Monday, playing slightly more minutes than Nick Richards (18) as a result. Despite playing just 17.9 minutes per game over his last six outings, Plumlee has remained a viable streamer in very deep formats with averages of 4.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks on 57.1 percent shooting from the field.

Moves to second unit Plumlee will come off the bench Monday against the Cavaliers.

Impact Plumlee's fantasy managers probably saw this one coming after Nick Richards had a tremendous showing in his season debut Saturday against the Pistons. Plumlee is likely to see minutes in the high teens to lower 20s most nights as Richards' backup.

Comes down with 10 boards in win Plumlee posted six points (3-3 FG), 10 rebounds and four assists in 17 minutes during Thursday's 130-123 win over the Wizards.

Impact Plumlee came down with 10 boards in just 17 minutes Thursday, tallying double-digit rebounds for the fourth time in his last six games. The veteran big man has provided a consistent dose of boards over his last nine contests, a stretch where he's averaging 7.9 rebounds, 4.1 points, 2.4 assists, and 0.7 steals in 20.1 minutes while shooting 61.5 percent from the field. Plumlee remains Phoenix's interim starting center in the absence of Jusuf Nurkic (illness), but the Suns appear to be preparing for the incoming Nick Richards to take over down low once he's acclimated to their system.

Only 13 minutes as a starter Plumlee had two points (1-1 FG), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 13 minutes during Monday's 109-99 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Plumlee was on the floor for only 13 minutes as a starter during Monday's game against the 76ers. Outside of seven rebounds and two blocks, the veteran big man didn't make much of an impact in the paint for Phoenix. With head coach Frank Vogel experimenting with lineups, it'll be interesting to see if Plumlee's minutes continue to dip.

Expected to enter starting lineup Plumlee is expected to enter Phoenix's starting lineup in place of Jusuf Nurkic, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Phoenix's recent struggles have been well-documented, so it appears the Suns are looking to rejuvenate their team by changing its starting unit. Jusuf Nurkic is back from a three-game suspension but is expected to take a back seat to Plumlee, who started on the former's behalf. Nurkic's three-game suspension saw Plumlee average 6.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 24.3 minutes.

JANUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact This was one of Plumlee's best performances of the season as he recorded his third game of the campaign with at least three blocks. Jusuf Nurkic will miss one more game with his suspension, making Plumlee an attractive streaming option against the Pacers on Saturday.

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.

Impact Plumlee filled in for Jusuf Nurkic (ankle), who had to take a day off after attempting to play though an injury.

Impact The Suns will opt for a big lineup with Plumlee starting alongside Jusuf Nurkic in the frontcourt, and Josh Okogie sliding 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).

Impact 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.
