Sat Feb 22 2014 | 10:39 | Professor Plumlee not getting tenure |
Miles Plumlee struggled in 19 minutes vs. the Spurs on Friday with four points, four boards and one assist. |
The last four games have seen a lot of Markieff Morris and not a lot of Plumlee. In his last four, Plumlee averaged 3.0 points, 6.5 boards, 0.5 steals and 0.8 minutes in just 18.6 minutes. He can't shoot free throws, so it's probably not too cut him for a guy you're liking who is on the waiver wire |

Thu Feb 20 2014 | 00:52 | Miles Plumlee quiet in win over Celtics |
Miles Plumlee hit just 2-of-6 shots for four points, eight rebounds, a steal and three blocks in Wednesday's win over the Celtics. |
Plumlee has really cooled off lately, scoring eight or fewer points in eight of his last nine games, and grabbing eight or fewer rebounds in five straight games. He's also failed to block a shot in four of his last six games, making him tough to start in fantasy. He's scored a total of eight points in his last three games, playing 22 minutes or less in each of them. He's probably still worth holding in most instances, but is far from a must-start player these days. |

Wed Feb 12 2014 | 00:00 | Miles Plumlee quiet yet again on Tuesday |
Miles Plumlee scored two points with six boards in 14 minutes against the Heat on Tuesday. |
Coach Jeff Hornacek has a little Coach Pop to his rotations and plays the matchups some of the time, which may explain Plumlee's drop in production. He only played 22 minutes against the Warriors on Saturday, but played 28.5 minutes per game over his previous two before this recent dip. The Nuggets interior defense is a joke, so there is a good chance the Plum Dawg eats on Wednesday night. |

Wed Feb 5 2014 | 00:47 | Miles Plumlee goes for 8 & 10 in loss |
Miles Plumlee continues to struggle to score points, but had eight of them to go along with 10 rebounds, three steals and no blocks in Tuesday's loss. |
Plumlee has scored eight or fewer points in four straight games, but is averaging 8.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over his last five games, to go along with 8.0 points. The scoring is a concern and he's not nearly as must-own in fantasy circles as he was earlier in the season. But as long as he's boarding, blocking and stealing the ball, owners can probably live with the off-scoring games. |

Wed Jan 29 2014 | 23:51 | Miles Plumlee quiet in win over Bucks |
Miles Plumlee hit 4-of-7 shots for eight points, three rebounds and a block in 21 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Bucks. |
Uh oh. Alex Len came off the bench, played one more minute than Plumlee (22) and had seven points, 10 rebounds and a block. Len has been working his way back to health and might finally be ready to start eating into Plumlee's minutes. That's what happened tonight, and while we're not ready to tell you to simply drop Plumlee yet, it could come to that if the timeshare is truly on. Plumlee had 14 points and 13 rebounds in 32 minutes on Monday, so it's possible this was just an off night, as well. |

Mon Jan 27 2014 | 21:54 | Miles Plumlee double-doubles vs. Sixers |
Miles Plumlee cleaned the glass against the Sixers on Monday with 14 points and 13 boards in 32 minutes. |
He shot just 6-of-15 from the field and his six offensive helped his stat line. Plumlee's field goal and free throw percentage are both sitting at 51 percent on the season, but he is at least improving from the stripe a little lately. He's a low-upside player to own in standard leagues. |

Sun Jan 26 2014 | 21:43 | Miles Plumlee quiet w/ foul trouble Sunday |
Foul trouble hampered Miles Plumlee throughout Sunday's game in Cleveland, and he finished with three points, 10 rebounds and four personal fouls in just 18 minutes. |
This marks Plumlee's lowest playing time all season and foul trouble has been an infrequent concern. One dud is nothing to be concerned about, and Plumlee still has tolerable January averages of 9.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. |

Sat Jan 25 2014 | 02:26 | Miles Plumlee scores 14 points vs. Wizards |
Miles Plumlee scored14 points with six boards and two blocks on 7-of-8 shooting in his 27 minutes of action vs. the Wizards on Friday. |
His minutes were on the decline and only had averages of 4.3 points and 4.0 boards in his three games from Jan. 15 to 19. Plumlee turned it around on Wednesday and the scare of Alex Len seems to be over. He should be fine for the foreseeable future as long as the Suns are in contention. |

Sun Jan 19 2014 | 23:07 | Miles Plumlee quiet as Suns lean on reserves |
Miles Plumlee was a victim of the Suns' unorthodox rotation on Sunday, as he finished a home victory with just two points and four rebounds in 24 minutes. |
Rookie C Alex Len was surprisingly effective and the second unit dominated the fourth quarter for Phoenix, so Plumlee's fantasy owners will have to live with this random dud. He was averaging 9.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in the Suns' previous nine games. |

Tue Jan 14 2014 | 00:13 | Plumdog Millionaire doubles down on Knicks |
Miles Plumlee double-doubled with 12 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in Monday's loss to the Knicks. |
Plumlee is producing at a solid mid-round level with a nice boost in 9-cat formats where his 1.1 turnovers per game in his last seven contests is a really nice look. Over that span he has averaged 10.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks while knocking in 50 percent of his field goal attempts. Alex Len is not a concern. |

Fri Jan 3 2014 | 00:51 | Miles Plumlee still cruising along for Suns |
Miles Plumlee had eight points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in Thursday's loss to the Grizzlies. |
Plumlee hasn't taken his foot off the gas pedal and has been red-hot lately, posting a pair of monster lines last week and playing well tonight. Despite scoring in single figures in three of his last five games, Plumlee is still averaging 12.4 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks over his last five. Keep running him out there until further notice. |

Sun Dec 29 2013 | 02:16 | Miles Plumlee scores career-high 22 points |
Miles Plumlee got hot on Saturday, hitting 10-of-14 shots on his way to a career-high 22 points along with 13 rebounds, a steal and three blocks in 32 minutes. |
Plumlee is having a big week after going for 17 points and 20 rebounds on Monday, and is averaging 12.2 points, 12.0 boards and 1.0 blocks over his last five games. Don't expect him to play this well all the time, but after his three games this week, he should be owned in all leagues. Plumlee also missed time tonight while getting seven stitches in his chin, or he might have been even better. |

Tue Dec 24 2013 | 03:53 | MIles Plumlee schools Lakers for 20 boards |
Miles Plumlee grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds against the Lakers on Monday to go with 17 points, one assist and two blocks in 31 minutes. |
The Suns whipped the Lakers inside and won the rebounding battle 62-39 tonight. Plumlee has picked it up over his last five, averaging 9.8 points, 12.6 boards and 1.6 blocks, so he seems to have gained the trust of coach Jeff Hornacek. If you can stomach his 44.3 percent from the line, Plumlee is worth owning in most leagues while he's hot. |

Sat Dec 14 2013 | 02:13 | Miles Plumlee breaks out of funk |
Miles Plumlee had his best game in over a month on Friday with 12 points, nine boards, two assists, four steals and three blocks in 27 minutes. |
His minutes were dwindling over his previous four games, averaging just 22.5 per game good for 7.5 points, 7.5 boards and 1.5 boards. The Suns really don't have any healthy options at center and they've been using Markieff Morris there quite a bit lately. Plumlee has a huge opportunity, so his owners should roll with the punches during his first season as a starting big man. |

Wed Dec 11 2013 | 01:23 | Miles Plumlee officially struggling for Suns |
Miles Plumlee had just six points, six rebounds and zero blocks on 3-of-4 shooting in 19 minutes of Tuesday's win over the Lakers. |
Plumlee has now scored 6, 9, 4, 11 and 9 points in each of his last five games, and hasn't had double digits in rebounds in any of them. His minutes have tailed off recently as well, as he's seen between just 19 and 21 of them in his previous three games. He is still averaging 7.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over his last five, so if you're thinking about dropping him for a hot free agent, make sure your team can survive without his blocks and boards. |

Wed Dec 4 2013 | 23:26 | Miles Plumlee cooling off for Suns |
Miles Plumlee continues to start at center for the Suns, but had just four points, nine rebounds and two blocks on 2-of-7 shooting in 21 minutes of Wednesday's win. |
He's still crashing the boards and is averaging 9.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over his last five games, which means he's still worth owning in most fantasy leagues. |

Sat Nov 30 2013 | 04:36 | Plumlee turns in fifth double-double |
Miles Plumlee double-doubled for the fifth time this season in Friday's win over the Jazz, scoring 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting with 10 rebounds and one block. |
With Eric Bledsoe back it's possible that Plumlee gets some better looks when the defense collapses on both Bledsoe and Goran Dragic. It's possible that the big man was dropped over the past week or so, and and with a solid role in hand he should be owned in most formats. |

Sun Nov 24 2013 | 20:25 | Miles Plumlee helps owners by taking no FTs |
Miles Plumlee finished Sunday's road win with eight points, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks, making 4-of-10 field goals without attempting any free throws. |
Plumlee came into this game shooting 37.5 percent from the FT line, which would be the worst in the NBA if he'd taken enough to qualify (he's 12-of-32 overall). He's returning solid mid-round value without FT percentages in roto leagues, but he plummets to the late rounds with that category included. Plan accordingly. |

Wed Nov 20 2013 | 01:25 | Miles Plumlee scores 10 with 0 blocks |
Miles Plumlee had just 10 points, six rebounds and zero blocks against DeMarcus Cousins and the Kings on Tuesday. |
Plumlee has cooled off, scoring 10 or fewer points in four straight games, while tonight was just the second game of the season where he didn't block a shot. He's still starting at center and the return of Alex Len (5 minutes, 0 points) didn't affect Plumlee tonight. He played 30 minutes and despite the slowing of his roll, Plumlee still looks like the center to own in Phoenix. Hopefully he'll get hot again soon. |

Sun Nov 10 2013 | 22:58 | Miles Plumlee sets career-high w/ five blocks |
Miles Plumlee set a new career-high with five blocked shots in Sunday's win vs. the Pelicans, adding eight points, 12 rebounds and one steal without any turnovers. |
Plumlee remains one of the nicest early-season surprises, justifying the Suns' faith in him while finding new ways to surprise and delight his fantasy owners. He has the size to combat the league's big men and the speed and footwork to befuddle most of them, so just keep trotting him out there. |
