- Three of the day's four games had selections with Bulls/Bucks being the only one ignored by the field.
- There were also three players picked out, the most in a single day all year.
- Of the two non-picked out players, Colin's bench bargain JaVale McGee outperformed Matt's starter John Collins by a 19-14 PRA margin as both of their teams lost their Game 4 matchups.
- Denver staved off elimination against the Warriors, but our first picked out player of the night, Will Barton, was incredibly ineffective in Game 4 netting Al just 12 PRA in 32 minutes.
- The second picked out player, and only rookie selected for the day, was Ryan's pick Herb Jones. The second rounder had 36 RBPRA as his Pelicans knotted their series with the Suns. Jones is the ninth picked out rookie of the year and the first of the playoffs.
- But our top scorer and final picked out player of the day was Trevor's selection Nikola Jokic. Denver's MVP center continues to produce top tier showings with his 51 PRA against Golden State being the latest proof, but just like Al a few days prior, the Joker couldn't trigger the Triple Double Down to bridge the gap between Matt's closest pursuers. Jokic is now tied with LaMelo Ball, Luka Doncic, and Domantas Sabonis for most Triple Double Down selections without a hit with 3.
- Optimally, Giannis Antetokounmpo put his Bucks up 3-1 with 56 PRA against the lifeless Bulls for the best possible score. Bones Hyland (52 RBPRA) and Stephen Curry (44 PRA) were your two "cheat code" bench bargains going against one another.
