Mason Plumlee: Contributes 10 points off bench Thursday

Plumlee headed back to the bench after starting the last game before the
All-Star break, but still managed to turn in his second double-digit scoring
effort in as many contests in a Nuggets uniform. The fourth-year pro received
only four fewer minutes than starter Nikola Jokic on Thursday, but how playing
time will be distributed between the pair of capable big men remains to be seen
and could fluctuate. Jokic certainly provides a higher offensive upside and is
therefore fully expected to remain the starter, although Plumlee is a highly
viable rebounding presence with serviceable scoring capability in his own right.
