The Big Cevapi went off against the Kings. Just another big dominating Holmes again

Dominating Holmes?

End of month update:



Big Man of the Month for November is Anthony Davis. Even with eight days out of the month of November, where I didn't award BMOtN to anybody, there was still a lot of parity among the awardees, with (I believe) fourteen different recipients. As a result, Davis was able to take the award for Big Man of the Month, with a mere three awards. Gobert, Jokic, Sabonis, Ayton and Capela finished in a five-way tie for second, with two apiece.



Big Man of the Month, season-to-date:

October: Nikola Jokic
November: Anthony Davis




Due to earning five Honorable Mentions in November, the following player(s) will receive probationary addition to the nightly Top Tier Big Man listing:


Jarrett Allen (CLE)
Jonas Valanciunas (NOP)


Due to earning two Big Man of the Night awards as an Honorable Mentions in November, the following player(s) will receive probationary addition to the nightly Top Tier Big Man listing:

Clint Capela (ATL)
