- Sacramento and Philadelphia each went up 2-0 in their first round series against Golden State and Brooklyn respectively. All six picks came from losing teams.
- Matt fell out of first place after Seth Curry could muster just 13 PRA in Brooklyn's underwhelming, low-scoring defeat to his former team Philadelphia.
- Maintaining the final spot on the medal stand was Lou even though Brooklyn's Dorian Finney-Smith had only 16 PRA on offer in said loss.
- Gary Payton II made his 2022-23 Pick One debut with 19 PRA off the Warriors bench for Colin in his team's defeat to the Kings.
- Golden State's Andrew Wiggins continued to show little rust after significant time away, netting Al 27 PRA in Game 2 despite the losing effort.
- But our top scorer was Brooklyn's top scorer of the night, Cameron Johnson. The Nets forward ran out in the first half but saw his production stymied in the second half to end up with 33 PRA for the combination of Ryan and new game leader Trevor.
- Optimally, there may be a panic run on Stephen Curry in the coming days if the Warriors continue to lose and he puts up 37 PRA like he did in Game 2.
