- The New Year started off right with no participant falling below the 20 PRA threshold from the three games to choose from.
- Bringing up the rear was the pair of Colin and Matt. The former got 23 PRA from Bones Hyland in relief of an injured Jamal Murray as the Nuggets beat the Celtics. The latter got his 23 from Jaren Jackson Jr. in a Grizzlies win over the Kings.
- Two Wizards big men were selected and came within 2 PRA of one another. Ryan's Last Man In Daniel Gafford finished on 25 PRA in the win over the Bucks while Trevor's selection Kristaps Porzingis netted 27. Only Lou has Porzingis left at his disposal.
- Our highest rebound total in the Challenge for 2022-23 thus far came from Al's pick Steven Adams. The Memphis center had 23 boards en route to 37 PRA against Sacramento.
- But our top scorer of the evening was Lou with one of his beloved Celtics, Jaylen Brown. Brown had 41 in his 22-23 Pick One debut leading Boston in both scoring and rebounding against Denver.
- Optimally, only Al could have had triple-doubler Nikola Jokic and his 54 against the C's. It was his sixth triple-double in his last eleven games.
