8 Al-Farouq Aminu PF

Aminu accumulated 13 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 115-107 loss to the Kings.

Aminu collected his seventh double-double of the season, putting him on pace to easily shatter his previous career-best of 10 double-doubles back in 2012-13. Aminu is a strong rebounder and the team's most versatile defender, and he has also handed out at least two assists in 11 of the last 12 games while draining 15 threes during the same stretch.

Aminu contributed nine points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes Sunday in the Trail Blazers' 116-113 loss to the Nuggets.

After some down rebounding performances of late, Aminu bounced back nicely in that category, but didn't offer much production beyond that to hang his hat on. Aminu's wayward accuracy from the field (42.4 percent for the season) and three-point range (34.7 percent) will most likely continue to make his scoring outputs volatile from game to game.

Aminu posted 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes in Friday's 111-109 loss to the Thunder,

Despite posting a double-double and equaling a season-high 15 rebounds, Aminu couldn't get the final shot of the game to fall, as Portland ended up on the losing end of this hard-fought matchup. Many would be surprised to learn that Aminu has logged 10 double-digit rebounding totals this season. At first glance, you'd consider him the third or fourth source for production on the team, but he can quietly post big numbers and provide solid support under the basket. Aminu is a decent target for rebounds in all formats.

Aminu pitched in seven points (3-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes in the Trail Blazers' 110-109 overtime win over the Warriors on Thursday.

Aminu checked in with one of his best rebounding games of December, which helped make up for a particularly poor shooting night. Aminu has actually struggled on the offensive end in multiple games recently, draining under 40 percent of his shots in four of his last five. However, that hasn't stopped the veteran big from remaining aggressive, as he's taken 20 attempts from behind the arc in the last four games alone. Aminu's most reliable value comes from his work on the boards, as he's pulled down six or more rebounds in 10 of 13 December contests.

Aminu managed five points (1-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds in 23 minutes during Friday's 120-90 loss to the Jazz.

Aminu has been held to single digits in scoring in three straight games. He is still enjoying his best month of the current campaign, but he's only a reliable option in deeper leagues.
