BROOKLYN - Memo to the Sacramento Kings: “Fuhgetaboutit,” as we say in Brooklyn.

The Kings have had their eye on Mason Plumlee ever since the summer, when Plumlee was a U.S. World Cup teammate of Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins.

Cousins invited Plumlee to dinner one night – a little wine and dine, if you will.

The Kings recently reached out to the Nets, looking to make a deal that would bring Plumlee from Brooklyn to Sacramento.

After Plumlee posted his second straight double-double, and willed the Nets to a 102-96 win in Barclays Center over the Denver Nuggets, the Kings will have to look elsewhere to do their holiday shopping.

Plumlee scored 19 points on 9-of-14 shooting, grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds, and blocked three shots. It was his fifth double-double of the season, his fourth in the last seven games.

“You are just in the moment,’’ said Plumlee after his thrilling performance. “You’re in the zone some people would say, but it’s a just great feeling.’’

Joe Johnson was the Mr. Outside to Plumlee’s Mr. Inside, scoring 27 points. Jarrett Jack, starting for the second straight game at point guard in place of the injured Deron Williams, had a solid game with 17 points and eight assists.

The win lifts the Nets to 12-15. Denver fell to 12-17.

STAR: Plumlee – again. He’s averaged 18.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over the last six games. He’s as close to an untouchable player as the Nets have.

“Mason made a conscious decision to go and play and not worry about what I say, if I yell at him, if I take him out of the game,’’ said Coach Lionel Hollins. “Just go play. His confidence is rising. He’s doing some stuff that I haven’t seen Mason do since I’ve been here, and it’s good to see.’’

KEY STAT: Usually when a team gets outrebounded, 51-39, as the Nets did, the end result is a loss. But the Nets turned it around in the fourth quarter, outrebounding Denver 13-11, holding the Nuggets to just one offensive rebound.

KEY STRETCH: Down 85-78 early in the fourth quarter, Mason Plumlee threw down an offensive rebound for a dunk that sparked an 8-0 run. He then made a monster block on the defensive end and powered in a reverse layup that fueled a 22-6 surge.

KEY PLAY: The outcome was more or less in hand, but trailing 100-93 with 30 seconds left, Denver had the ball on a fastbreak. Kenneth Faried tried a crosscourt pass that Sergey Karasev intercepted and followed with a feed to Jarrett Jack for a layup and a 102-93 Nets’ lead.

NETS’ GAINS: Brook Lopez missed the last eight games with a lower back strain. He returned tonight, scored six points on 3-of-5 shooting, and grabbed five rebounds in eight minutes and 15 seconds.

TALK: “Those are the effort plays that it takes to win in this league,’’ said Coach Hollins. “Everybody can make one effort, but to make two and three and not react to it, because it’s the thing to do.’’
