C Miles Plumlee scored just six points in 19 minutes in Milwaukee's 100-90 loss Monday at the Chicago Bulls. Plumlee started, but only took five shots from the field, hitting three, and missed both of his free-throws. Plumlee had just 2 points in a loss Sunday to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He's averaging just 11.6 minutes a game, which is down seven minutes from what he averaged with Phoenix last season.

C Miles Plumlee was ejected in the third quarter after smacking Jazz F Joe Ingles in the back of the head with his forearm. Referees reviewed the play and determined Plumlee's hard foul was a Flagrant Penalty-2 violation. "It's tough. I was feeling good," Plumlee said. "I felt like I was helping out. I was a little surprised. I don't know. It looked worse on film."

C Miles Plumlee as he has earned more minutes due to injuries. "Miles has done a really nice job," coach Joe Prunty said. "The last several games he's had situations where he's been called upon and he's done a really nice job. At the end of the day we've always talked about next man up."

Plumlee will be evaluated in the coming days.

Plumlee split the 2014-15 season between Phoenix and Milwaukee, appearing in 73 total games. In 19 games for Milwaukee, Plumlee averaged 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 9.9 minutes.
Plumlee came over from Phoenix with Tyler Ennis as part of the Brandon Knight/Michael Carter-Williams deal. After averaging nearly 19 minutes per game with Phoenix as a part-time starter, Plumlee saw his role greatly reduced in Milwaukee playing behind Zaza Pachulia and John Henson. Plumlee was in and out of the rotation throughout the second half of the year, logging a few minutes one night and a receiving a DNP-CD the next. He saw double-digit minutes just once over the final 11 games of the season and appeared in only one playoff game Milwaukee's 54-point Game 6 loss to the Bulls. Next season, Plumlee will enter the fourth year of his rookie deal, which will pay him $2.1 million. With both Henson and Pachulia expected back in 2014-15, Plumlee may again have trouble carving out a consistent role.

Plumlee has not been a part of the Bucks' playoff rotation through two games.
It doesn't look like Plumlee, Johnny O'Bryant or Tyler Ennis will be a part of Jason Kidd's rotation, as all three have earned a pair of DNP-CD's thus far.

Plumlee was available off the bench for Friday's game against the Nuggets but coach Jason Kidd never deployed the newly acquired center into action.
Plumlee's DNP-CD on Friday may be the first of many to come as Kidd decided to go with just a nine-man rotation while leaving Plumlee by the wayside. It may be a bit early to jump to conclusions, although Tyler Ennis was acquired with Plumlee and Kidd left him on the court for 18 minutes Friday. Unfortunately for Plumlee, it seems as though he'll have a hard time fitting into a frontcourt that was already somewhat crowded to begin with before he came to town.

Plumlee will play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Andrew Gruman of FOX Sports reports.
Plumlee will join a frontcourt in Milwaukee where John Henson and Zaza Pachulia already hold down most of the minutes at center. It's still unclear if Plumlee will be able to create a role for himself in this dynamic, but it seems unreasonable to to assume that any one of those three would see considerably more minutes than the others.
Thu Feb 19 201515:09Plumlee traded to Bucks on Thursday as part of three-team deal
Plumlee was traded to the Bucks on Thursday as part of a three-team deal, David Aldridge of TNT reports.
Plumlee will join Tyler Ennis and Michael Carter-Williams in Milwaukee, while the Bucks send Brandon Knight to Phoenix, and Phoenix sends Isaiah Thomas to Boston. With so many moving pieces it's difficult to immediately project what Plumlee's role will be, but he figures to be a major part of a Bucks frontcourt in need of depth after the buyout of Larry Sanders.

Plumlee started a second straight game in place of Alex Len (ankle) on Sunday. Plumlee put up four points, 12 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and four blocks in 23 minutes against the Kings.
Plumlee collected five fouls, which likely limited his floor time prematurely. He played 26 minutes in Friday's start, putting up six points, four rebounds, two steals, and one block. Through 26 starts this season, Plumlee has averaged 5.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.0 block in 23 minutes per game. Neither his per-minute production nor his total minutes are enough make him worth rostering in standard leagues. Though Len is likely to miss Tuesday's game, Plumlee's value is in many ways too erratic to both pursuing.

Plumlee is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Plumlee's presence in the starting lineup suggests that Alex Len (ankle) will not play, though the Suns have not confirmed as much.

Plumlee scored two points (1-3 FG), while pulling down seven rebounds, with one steal, and two blocks in 20 minutes.
Plumlee got some more minutes in this game as Brendan Wright sat out of Sunday's game. Phoenix still favors using other players than Plume at the moment and his name has popped up in trade talks as well. He may get some minutes to showcase him to other teams, but his ceiling is too low right now to own him in standard leagues.

Plumlee played 16 minutes against the Spurs on Friday, but didn't score a single point, the second straight time he's done that, but did have six rebounds and a block.
Between November and December, Plumlee saw his minutes drop off by about four per game, as Alex Len took over more of a role for the Suns. Now, Plumlee could see his role seriously dwindle with the news that Brandan Wright was traded to the team Friday. Plumlee isn't a fantasy option in almost all formats, especially with the Wright news.

Plumlee registered two points (1-2 FG), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block during his 19 minutes off the bench against the Hornets on Wednesday.
Plumlee has been replaced in the starting lineup by Alex Len, although both players ended up playing 19 minutes during Wednesday's game. Going forward both Plumlee and Len will seemingly have the same potential if they continue to evenly split the role of center in Phoenix.
Mon Dec 15 201420:22Plumlee will come off bench Monday versus Bucks
Plumlee will come off the bench Monday versus the Bucks, the Arizona Republic reports.
Coach Jeff Hornacek will turn to Alex Len to man center in the starting lineup, but Len and Plumlee have generally split the workload, meaning the latter is unlikely to experience a significant decrease in minutes. In the five games prior to Monday, Plumlee averaged 4.8 points (on 52 percent shooting), 5.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals in 20.4 minutes.

Plumlee has begun to evolve his game by adding a perimeter shot to his game, the Arizona Republic reports.
While Plumlee is only five for five in taking distance shot it is something that he has been focusing on developing. "I think that's something that a lot of guys add to their game come their third or fourth year," says Plumlee on his added range. Although it isn't enough to get fantasy owners salivating yet, hopefully it will encourage him to continue developing his shooting and maybe even start taking three-pointers. With Alex Len breathing down his neck, Plumlee could really use that kind of step in his game.

Plumlee went 6-for-6 from the floor Sunday in a loss to the Magic, scoring 12 points and pulling down five rebounds.
Plumlee's playing time has been fairly inconsistent this season, often splitting time with second-year player Alex Len. Heading into Sunday, Plumlee had appeared in fewer than 25 minutes in seven out of his past eight games. Meanwhile, Len went 0-for-6 from the floor, which could mean increased minutes for Plumlee in the next outing, which is Tuesday versus the Pacers.

Plumlee scored 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 FT) and grabbed 16 rebounds in 41 minutes during Friday's double-overtime loss to the Kings.
Though the stat line is inflated by the 10 minutes of extra time, it remains impressive. Alex Len has cut into some of Plumlee's court time this season, but the Suns clearly favored Plumlee during Friday's highly competitive contest. If either center can earn a steady role of roughly 30 minutes per night, then he will become a highly owned fantasy commodity. For now, however, both should only be owned in deep leagues or as a speculative stash.

Plumlee continues to have Alex Len cut into his minutes, though Plumlee continues to start.
Plumlee started Tuesday's game against the Lakers, but only played one more minute than Len. In the past three games, Plumlee has played just 15, 24 and 21 minutes, compared to 32, 18 and 20 for Len. Neither player is doing anything offensively, but Len seems to be the better option for rebounds and blocks.

Plumlee started Friday's game versus the Suns, but only played 15 minutes, while Alex Len played 32.
Plumlee struggled from the floor, making just two of his six shots for four points. He did pull down four rebounds, but had a plus/minus of -6 on the night. Meanwhile, Len had a double-double, scoring 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT) and grabbing 11 boards. If this keeps up, Len could be starting before long.
