- The Last Man In continues to get significant run. There has yet to be a day thus far into the season that there hasn't been at least one LMI used in the Challenge. Today was no different as Matt and Ryan found themselves with 25 PRA from Miami's Kyle Lowry against the Blazers. Colin joined them after his original selection Alperen Sengun did not dress for the Rockets.
- Lou was caught between the Last Man trio and the top score duo with his selection Scottie Barnes. Last season's Rookie of the Year double-doubled in Toronto's win over the struggling 76ers netting Lou 31 PRA in the process.
- But our joint top scorers got there in different ways. Al used his fourth rookie of the young season, Houston's Jabari Smith Jr., to get to 38 RBPRA with a near double-double against the Jazz. Trevor got his 38 PRA from Detroit's Bojan Bogdanovic versus Atlanta.
- Optimally, half the field could have had Paolo Banchero and another 82 RBPRA night. The top pick in this past NBA Draft had 29/8/4 in a losing effort to the Cavs using the rookie bonus to put him at the best possible score for the evening.
