- The benches continue to empty across the Association as playoff teams rest their starters on back-to-backs heading into the postseason and those on the outside looking in take one final bite of the tanking apple.
- But even with the expanded opportunities being given, Ryan still was unable to escape BLANK after having no eligible selections on any of the four Last Man In steps.
- One of those options wasn't the most enticing as Colin got just 10 PRA from Phoenix's Bismack Biyombo on the second step against the Lakers.
- Dallas' 180 from vying for the final playoff spot to fully committing to the tank left Lou holding a Luka Doncic-sized bag with only 21 PRA in it as the Mavericks lost to the Bulls to complete their elimination from contention. Despite the disappointing end, Doncic became the 44th player picked out in 2022-23.
- Washington had two rookies taken on the evening with varying degrees of success. Al was only able to wrangle 18 RBPRA from Quenton Jackson while Trevor snared a much better 42 RBPRA from Johnny Davis versus Miami.
- But taking home the top score was Matt with Atlanta's Trae Young. He paired 27 points with a Challenge-high 20 assists to end on 50 PRA in the contest with Philadelphia.
- Optimally, Ryan could have went from worst to first in the daily standings had he completed the picking out of Detroit rookie Jaden Ivey who had 86 RBPRA in a win over the Pacers.
