- There was not much love in the air for our pickers on the night with two blanks, two single digit scores, and one just above that mark.
- The two blanks came from opposite ends of the table as both Matt and Lou were ineligible to take either of the Last Men In, Kevon Looney or Ivica Zubac.
- Al and Ryan may feel like they blanked in the end as both of their selections, Terrence Ross and Amir Coffey respectively, went for 4 and 8 PRA respectively on the night.
- Their flurry of moves at the deadline allowed for a whole new crop of Sacramento players to be taken and Colin just did that with Justin Holiday. However, the Kings were blown out by the Nets and even though he started for his new club, Holiday could only muster 11 PRA in 32 minutes.
- That leaves the only man who had anything to smile about on Valentine's Day, Trevor with his selection Julius Randle. The Randle of 2020-21 has been back as of late and against Oklahoma City it was no different with the only shame being that Trevor had already used his Triple Double Down in a failing effort in February. Also in good but bad news, Randle's 53 PRA triple-double wasn't enough to earn New York a W because...
- Our optimal scorer Josh Giddey went for a ridiculous triple-double of his own in his MSG debut capping his night with 102 rookie-boosted PRA. One day Lou will finally complete the picking out of the Australian sensation. Up the road in Brooklyn, Cam Thomas reverted back to being a bench bargain with 44 rookie-boosted PRA for the Nets. Deni Avdija makes his first bench bargain appearance of the year with a double-double and 30 PRA for the Wizards.
