- Game leader Al has used a Challenge-high six rookies thus far but unfortunately his biggest flop came with the most recent one. Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams got his first start of his rookie season against Orlando, yet only could muster 14 RBPRA in the win.
- There could be a potential run on Kyrie Irving selections before the league or the Nets comes in with a suspension or other sanctions. Colin should serve as a cautionary tale though as on the day head coach Steve Nash was relieved of his duties, Irving laid a 17 PRA egg as Brooklyn fell to the Bulls.
- The second of two Nets taken on the evening was Matt's pick Nicolas Claxton. He would double-double on the night but only with the required amounts of 10 apiece, finishing on 22 PRA in the loss.
- Our final three picks of the night all came from the Minnesota/Phoenix showdown. Oddly enough, the lowest of those three scores came from the winning team. Devin Booker was mostly a spectator in the fourth quarter as his Suns held off the opposition, but still was able to net Ryan 30 PRA on the night.
- Minnesota's Anthony Edwards earned Trevor the nightly silver medal with 31 PRA in the losing effort. He tied for the team-high with 24 points with...
- Karl-Anthony Towns brought Lou his first top score of the season with 41 PRA against Phoenix. He came three assists shy of a triple-double in the contest which would have been the third of his career.
- Optimally, it wasn't a banner night for Paolo Banchero in Oklahoma City, but the Magic forward did enough to get himself to 50 RBPRA which either Lou or Matt could have had as the night's best score.
