BMOtN) Rudy Gobert: 16/12/2/3/3 versus Kings

Kind of an unremarkable night for big men: nobody got a win against a quality team. Drummond had the most impressive line, but his team lost. The Jazz only beat the Kings, but they did hold a team under 95 points, and they were on the second night of a back-to-back, so I'm going to give it to Stifle again.

One player's team lost, the other one played the Suns, at home, without their best player... **** it, nobody gets one.

Honorable Mention - Julius Randle: 36/14/7/1/2 versus Cavaliers

My cousin is a big Lake Show fan (his pops grew up in Ojai, so they are Raiders/Lakers 4 life), and he honestly thinks he would rather have Randle than PG-13. Cannot say I agree, if they are both max players in theory, but the dude (Randle) is good!

Davis is the only top tier big man who played against a winning team last night, and he lost, so I guess I'll give it to Jokic, for the 3D.
