- Most teams in the NBA have 10 or less games left in their season, but there is still a lot of Pick One meat left on the bone for clubs not entering the postseason.
- Josh Hart was traded from a non-playoff team (Portland) to one nearly in line for a home game (New York). Our 11th two-club man earned Matt 19 PRA as the Knicks were unable to further secure that game with a loss to the Heat.
- Making his 2022-23 Pick One debut was Colin's pick Landry Shamet. The Suns guard had 21 PRA off the bench against the Lakers albeit in a losing effort.
- Last Man In Talen Horton-Tucker helped bring Ryan back up after a BLANK day with 22 PRA in Utah's defeat to the Blazers.
- Lou clawed closer to second place after 24 PRA from his own substitute selection, Atlanta's Saddiq Bey, who fell late to the Timberwolves.
- Indiana is more than likely going to be a popular team in the closing stages of the Pick One regular season with the amount of minutes they are giving to rookies and performances from Myles Turner like the 26 PRA one he gave Al against the Raptors.
- But taking home the night's top score was our game leader Trevor with a double-double from Lakers guard Austin Reaves. LA already has four players picked out, the most in this season's Challenge, and with 40 PRA night's like the one he had versus Phoenix, I'm certain Reaves isn't far from being #5.
- Optimally, Indiana's Andrew Nembhard also double-doubled but with the rookie bonus his total on the night rose to 74 RBPRA in besting Toronto.
