- It was a good old fashioned chase day in the Pick One as the top three on the leaderboard posted the three worst scores.
- Matt was ineligible for either Last Man In option leaving him with his first zero of the second half of the season.
- Bryn Forbes didn't have a single PRA going into the fourth quarter of Denver's win over the Rockets, but eventually scraped out 7 PRA for Colin in garbage time.
- In a turn of events Trevor obviously didn't see coming, the Pelicans ran roughshod over the Jazz leading to Jaxson Hayes only getting 11 PRA in an abbreviated 23 minute night.
- Before getting ejected for a silly skirmish in the fourth, Last Man In Julius Randle was having arguably his best game in quite some time for Lou. In the end though, the ejection marked his night closed with 36 PRA and the Knicks would eventually lose at the buzzer. Randle was also the 17th player picked out this season and now only Toronto and Philadelphia lack picked out representation from the Atlantic Division.
- Using the rookie bonus, Ryan's pick Bones Hyland tied Randle for the evening's silver medal with 36 rookie-boosted PRA for the shorthanded Nuggets against the Rockets.
- However, it was the other first-year man taken on the night who took home top score. That was Al's selection of Indiana big man Isaiah Jackson. He double-doubled his way to 44 rookie-boosted PRA, his second time this season hitting double-digits in both points and rebounds.
- Optimally, it feels pointless at this point to say Cade Cunningham because he'll probably never get taken unless Detroit is playing on the west coast but once again he had the best score with 64 rookie-boosted PRA. Alperen Sengun once again was the rookie bench bargain with 44 rookie-boosted PRA while Cameron Johnson was the hero in the desert with 40 PRA, including the game-winning three, off the Phoenix bench.
