2. Mason Plumlee, Portland Trail Blazers/Denver Nuggets

In three-plus seasons, Mason Plumlee has proven himself as an athlete and well-rounded NBA big man. Now, the same can be said for his daily fantasy production.

Unlike the trio to come before him, Plumlee has attained the 60% mark with 33 cash-worthy performances, returning 4.5 FDP per $1,000 in a total of 33 games.

In 55 games, the 4th-year player has averaged 11.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 blocks in 28.2 minutes per contest. Plumlee's ability to sustain higher minutes and fill up the box score makes him a quality candidate for cash-game rosters on a daily basis. He's been priced anywhere from $4,900 to $7,400, but probability is in our favor with Plumlee -- that is, if his production carries over from team to team.

As you might already know, this is a situation you'll have to monitor. Plumlee was just traded to the Denver Nuggets and it's yet to be revealed how he'll be used and what we can expect from him in terms of fantasy production. If it's more of the same, Plumlee is a guy you'll want to target in your 50/50s and other cash games.
