Matches season-high 18 points Plumlee accumulated 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 126-105 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Plumlee scored in double digits for the third straight game, adding a pair of steals for good measure. Despite a limited fantasy game, Plumlee has been able to maintain 12-team relevance this season, especially when punting three-pointers and free throw percentage. If and when he is replaced in the starting lineup, Plumlee will likely fall off the standard league tree; but until then, keep rolling him out there on a nightly basis.

Impact Plumlee's best production came in the second quarter where he collected five points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field, along with four rebounds and two steals. He added just four points in the second half but did collect another seven boards to give him a game-high 11 on the night as the Hornets fell to Milwaukee. Plumlee has now recorded a double-double in back-to-back games and has nine of them on the season. He also grabbed multiple steals Saturday for just the third time during the 2022-2023 campaign.

Records double-double in win Plumlee ended Friday's 117-116 win over the Wizards with 17 points (5-10 FG, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 35 minutes.

Impact Plumlee saw a few more minutes than usual in the win over Washington. He capitalized by shooting the ball efficiently and grabbing double-digit rebounds for the third time in four games. The veteran big man is also averaging a career-best 4.1 assists per game. Inconsistency is usually the issue with Plumlee, but he continues to be a decent streaming option in most standard leagues.

Another rough night Monday Plumlee posted four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 27 minutes during Monday's 140-105 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Plumlee was unable to have an impact in the loss, continuing what has been a poor few games. He has now scored in double-digits just once in the past five games, adding very little in terms of defensive production. With that said, his role appears relatively secure for now, making him a backend 12-team asset, albeit one with limited upside.

Impact Plumlee attempted only two shots in the first half, connecting on both of them while also hitting two of his four free-throw attempts for a total of six points. The Hornets big man made his presence felt elsewhere, however, grabbing eight rebounds, four assists and a steal over the first two quarters to help Charlotte cut it down to a one-point game at the break. Plumlee added another five boards and two assists in the second half to go along with five points on 2-of-4 shooting to help the Hornets snap their three-game losing streak. He's now recorded seven double-doubles on the season, and it was just his third time with six or more assists in a game.

Impact Plumlee had an extremely efficient performance on both ends of the court, as he only missed one shot, posted a double-double, looked active as a passing threat and also left his mark on the defensive end. Firmly entrenched as the Hornets' starting center, Plumlee is having an excellent start to the season and is emerging as a reliable two-way threat. He has five double-doubles over his last nine appearances and has also grabbed at least 10 boards in five of his last six outings.

Massive night on glass Plumlee recorded 13 points (4-4 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 117-112 overtime loss to Miami.

Impact Plumlee turned in an impressive shooting night, as he needed only four attempts from the field and seven shots from the charity stripe to reach 13 points. After scoring in double figures just once through his first four games of November, he's responded with back-to-back double-digit nights, with each performance also resulting in a double-double.

Season-high 16 points Plumlee finished with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and a block over 32 minutes in Charlotte's 105-95 loss to the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Impact Plumlee scored in double figures for just the fourth time this season, with eight of his 16 points coming in the fourth quarter on 4-of-4 shooting from the field. He also recorded six of his game-high 12 rebounds in the final quarter, though his effort would fall short as the Hornets suffered their sixth-consecutive loss. It was just Plumlee's third double-double of the season, though he has now recorded 10 or more rebounds in five of his last six contests.

Records another double-double Plumlee totaled 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Plumlee only attempted four field goals in the first half, knocking down three of them and one free-throw for seven points. However, his eight first-half rebounds kept Charlotte in the game early, as he also added a block on a Nikola Vucevic three-point attempt with under a minute to play in the second quarter. Plumlee has now collected double-digit rebounds in back-to-back contests after failing to reach that mark in any of his first six games.
