- Five of our six participants ended up in with the Kings/Knicks game with a dubious distinction being earned once again.
- Trevor has now made it twice this season picking a player that earned himself a non-DNP zero. After Killian Hayes did the deed in January, this time it was Knicks center Mitchell Robinson. He committed two fouls in two minutes, developed a mystery illness, and then did not return to New York's win over the Kings. In blanking he also broke the record for fewest minutes played by a selected starter which was set last year by Joe Harris who only played five minutes in a blank against Utah.
- Nobody took the ineligible Last Man In blank on the night, but several players took a circuitous route to Trey Lyles. Both Lou and Colin needed the second step of the provision to get the Kings forward, with Colin having two late injury scratches wipe out two other previous picks made on the night. Ryan actually hand-selected Lyles instead of letting the LMI gods take the wheel. They all earned 10 PRA as he played the fewest minutes among Kings starters.
- It wasn't all doom and gloom in this contest as Matt found himself the night's bench bargain in Immanuel Quickley. A second straight 37 PRA performance for IQ helped soften the blow of fairly pedestrian outings from the rest of the Knicks bench.
- The only man to stray away from the last game herd was our top scorer Al with his selection Austin Reaves. The Lakers rookie had himself 38 rookie-boosted PRA yet that wasn't enough to help the hobbled Lake Show past Al's beloved Spurs.
- Optimally, the broken record continues to spin as to Lou being the only person left with Cade Cunningham available as he scored 88 rookie-boosted PRA against Atlanta. Portland's Keon Johnson and Houston's Josh Christopher tied for rookie bench bargain honors with 44 rookie-boosted PRA apiece.
