12/21 Big Man update:

Andre Drummond: 17/16/0/3/1 versus Hornets

(BMOtN) Anthony Davis: 30/20/5/0/1 versus lakers
Julius Randle: 21/8/2/0/1 versus lakers

Second time this week I'm awarding BMOtN to a guy on a losing team, which I'm not the biggest fan of. But, nobody put up impressive enough numbers in a win for me to turn my nose up at 30/20/5.

I don't care how impressive Towns' line was: you don't get to be BMOtN when you lose to a Davis-less Pelicans team.

Andre Drummond: 12/11/2/0/1 [7 to] vesus Kings


Honorable Mention:
LaMarcus Aldridge: 56/9/4/0/4 versus Thunder

I'm not really fond of setting a precedent for allowing an HM without double-figure rebounds. However, comma, if any performance would rate acknowledgement, fifty-six points with no threes ought to do it.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

1/11 Big Man update:

(BMOtN) John Collins: 25/9/2/11/0 versus 76ers

Rudy Gobert: 12/18/2/2/2 versus lakers


Honorable Mention:
Domatas Sabonis: 22/15/3/0/0 versus Knicks


Going to give it to Collins, since Towns lost at home, and the Hawks had the most impressive win of the night, even sans Embiid.
