- Maybe this isn't a hangover but just the new normal for the second half of the season as everybody outside of our joint top scorers finished with 16 PRA or below.
- Shake Milton didn't get much of a fair shake against the Knicks even though they ran away with things in the fourth quarter. Colin's selection sat in the Pick One caboose in the early tip-off with just 5 PRA.
- Not far ahead was Ryan's pick Nicolas Batum. Having tried two prior times to take the Frenchman, it finally was on track without an injury or late rest scratch. Unfortunately, he could only manage to earn Ryan 11 PRA in their narrow win over the Rockets.
- Countering that selection was Al's charge Eric Gordon. He took and made the fewest shots among Rockets starters and ended with 12 PRA in defeat.
- Rounding out those scoring in the teens was Challenge leader Matt with Dallas' Reggie Bullock. The shooter was fairly invisible in Dallas' late comeback against the Warriors but still ended up with 16 PRA while hitting four threes.
- That leaves the top score roses to be thrown at the feet of the combo of Lou and Trevor with their respective selections Brandon Ingram and Jerami Grant. Ingram became the latest player picked out via Lou's Last Man In run and put up 32 PRA as the Pelicans cruised past the Lakers. Grant also saw his team win in a thrilling overtime game with the Hornets as he got his 32 PRA.
- Optimally, Lou is still the only participant that could have taken advantage of Cade Cunningham's rookie-boosted 60 PRA night against Charlotte. All of the bench bargains came from out west as Spencer Dinwiddie and DeMarcus Cousins each had 33 PRA to pace the non-rooks while Brandon Williams makes his Pick One final blurb debut with 38 rookie-boosted PRA for Portland after signing a two-way contract last Tuesday.
