1. Tristan Thompson, Cleveland Cavaliers
Just edging out Chandler, Tristan Thompson probably comes as a big surprise.
| Player | Games | Games ≥ 5.5X | Rate |

| Tristan Thompson | 55 | 19 | 34.5% |
Thompson usually doesn't score all that much. In 30 minutes per game over 55 contests, Thompson -- usually flanked by LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love -- has scored just 8.2 points per game. Actually, he's failed to score at all three times and has come up short of his season average on a total of 30 occasions.
On the other hand, Thompson has tallied 23 games of double-digit scoring with at least 15 in 6 games. To say there's a volatility to his scoring game would be an understatement.
What's a constant for Thompson are his rebound totals. He's totaled double-digit rebounds in 32 games and at least 8 across 40 of his 55 total contests. And, in the 19 games with 5.5 points per $1,000, Thompson has failed to record 10-plus rebounds just once. Against terrible rebounding teams, he's a prime target.
