- With Lonnie Walker IV netting 17 PRA against Minnesota, it is now two straight days in the teens making it now just four points between Trevor and Lou at the bottom.
- That gap could have potentially been erased had Lou not already used the "Step 1" Last Man In Rudy Gobert. With that fact in play, he was given the Last Chance Last Man In of Khem Birch and got 18 PRA as Toronto was defeated.
- Keeping up with the scoring symmetry from the two above participants, Al, Ryan, and Matt went for 24, 25, and 26 PRA respectively with their charges of Anthony Edwards, Reggie Jackson, and the aforementioned Last Man In Rudy Gobert.
- But top score of the day went to Colin with Will Barton. A tremendous Robin to Nikola Jokic's Batman in Jamal Murray's absence, Barton went for 36 PRA in Denver's loss to Philadelphia. Future note to those looking for Bench Bargains, maybe give Denver a go. Every single player that dressed for the game on the evening received at least four minutes of playing time.
- But speaking of those bargains, as well as the optimal score of the day, we look elsewhere most notably once again to Golden State where Stephen Curry continued to pad his MVP resume against the Cavs. 50 PRA, with nearly half of that output coming in the fourth quarter, was a sight to behold. In terms of Bench Bargains we had an old friend and a new one make their way onto the recap as Rudy Gay went for 27 PRA in his Jazz debut to pace bench vets and second round pick Charles Bassey had a rookie-boosted 38 PRA for Philadelphia in their win over the Nuggets.
