- As we ramp up to the postseason, we got a first taste of the type of night that may occur in the later rounds.
- A return to action for Paul George left Al's pick Amir Coffey in a precarious position at the end of the Clippers bench. It wasn't until Utah had already blown their 25 point lead that the newly-fully-signed guard made his way onto the court grabbing one rebound in under a minute of action.
- Colin took a Triple Double Down punt with Goran Dragic hoping the Nets would blow out Detroit by enough to make it happen off the bench. Alas, Brooklyn had a harder time with the lowly Pistons than he hoped and Dragic fell way short of the mark with just 18 PRA.
- Marvin Bagley III had the same 18 PRA total for Trevor in that same contest, taking a meager six shots, a low for starters, in 24 minutes.
- Last Man In Juan Hernangomez continued to fill in nobly for the injured Bojan Bogdanovic in Utah. Nevertheless, he only could net 19 PRA for the pair of Lou and Ryan in defeat.
- That leaves Matt to take home an unexpected top score through Washington's Deni Avdija. He fell short of bench bargain status but still had 25 PRA off the pine against the Bulls.
- Optimally, Cade Cunningham, 82 rookie-boosted PRA, Lou could have. Sigh. These late season games are going to find some fun bench bargains with this night's being Clippers center Isaiah Hartenstein (27 PRA) for the vets and Pistons 10-day swingman Braxton Key (22 rookie-boosted PRA) for the rooks.
