Don't plan to stay up to the end of the Battle for Los Angeles. Not going to make it official until tomorrow, but I'm leaning Adebayo, due to quality of opposition.

Ayton had the best line, but my rule is, no award in a loss, so I'm giving it to Mobley.

EDIT - **** it, no award.

You posted the lyrics in the game thread, and somehow you already forgot about Trey! Parameters be damned, he was BMoTN for sure!

I didn't forget, he doesn't qualify. Helluva game, and the Kings don't pull it out without him, but he would have had to have done way more than that for me to make an exception.

End of Month update:



Big Man of the Month for January is again Nikola Jokic. Jokic won time with six awards. Embiid finished second with four. Strong month overall for bigs: nineteen different players earned at least one Honorable Mention, with seven different players earning at least one BMOtN award, as an Honorable Mention.



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

October: Pascal Siakam
November: Joel Embiid
December: Joel Embiid
January: Nikola Jokic



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

Alperen Şengün (HOU)
Jonas Valančiūnas (NOP)


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

Thomas Bryant (LAL) [Don't expect his probationary period to last very long, considering Anthony Davis' return]

DeAndre Ayton: 20/9/0/0/0 versus Hawks


Honorable Mention
Naz Reid: 24/13/4/1/1 versus Warriors
Walker Kessler: 17/14/1/1/7 versus Raptors



I'll wait until tomorrow to make it official but, unless Ayton pulls off some heroics in the fourth quarter, it's Sabonis' award to lose. And Walker Kessler technically didn't qualify under my semi-arbitrary rules for Honorable Mention, but I'll make an exception for seven blocks.

Nobody else who qualifies for automatic inclusion scheduled tok play tonight. And if someone doesn't ball out to claim an Honorable Mention... I gotta say, I'm not really feeling it.

The Block Panther out there getting 24 pts, 2 steals and 5 blocks in a win and can't even get on the list while John Collins is somehow grandfathered onto the list for the season even though he's been awful since his injury last year. Now that's rough.

If it makes you feel better, he is well on his way to playing himself off the list.

Alperen Şengün: 18/9/11/1/1 versus Kings


No players who qualify for automatic inclusion in the remaining games. Pending all games going final, I'm leaning towards Adebayo, due to quality of opposition.

I assume Siakam was in a "close" 2nd, but will miss out at the end of the day because of the "quality of opposition"...Yeah, you gotta go with Bam tonight...:):):)

Only two decent stat lines have come in losses. Davis may beast in the second half, but it's giving Shania right now.

Ordinarily on a night like this, I would give the edge to Siakam for quality of opposition, but I'm giving Duren extra credit for a career night.

Shout out to Thomas Bryant for his two minute Snell™. Mans asked to be traded from LA because he didn't want to back up Anthony Davis, and now he's backing up ( :: checks notes :: ) DeAndre Jordan. He's going to have the shortest probationary period on this list in the history of the Report.
