Nuggets' Mason Plumlee: Leads team in scoring off bench Sunday

Plumlee scored 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 FT) to go along with six rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 115-90 loss to the Pelicans.

Analysis:

Plumlee came off the bench for the second straight game, but he enjoyed more success than any of his starting counterparts and actually led the team in scoring in limited minutes. He has been quite productive on a per-minute basis since his arrival in Denver, but the team's crowded rotation has put a cap on his potential for production on a nightly basis.
