Nuggets' Mason Plumlee: Will come off bench Thursday vs. Kings

Plumlee will come off the bench for Thursday's tilt against the Kings.

Analysis:

Plumlee got the spot start in the Nuggets' last game before the All-Star break with the team only having eight available players. However, now that the team is at full strength, minus Roy Hibbert who was just acquired in a trade, Plumlee will assume a bench role. He likely won't hit the 34 minutes that he saw in his first game with the team, but should still be a focal part of the offense, as the Nuggets like to give the ball to their big men in the high post and have them facilitate.
