- It was a very Western Conference-heavy schedule which isn't always the best news for the way our scoresheets look at the moment.
- Both Lou and Ryan had to take blanks after not being eligible for either step of the Last Man In provision.
- Matt was able to use first step LMI Andrew Wiggins and earned himself 23 PRA despite the Warriors eventually blowing a 14-point lead to the Lakers.
- From that Lakers squad Trevor equalled Wiggins' output with Malik Monk. While keeping pace with the man in front of you is nice and all, when you see that Trevor was also the only participant eligible to select our optimal scorer 23 PRA feels a great deal more hollow.
- Speaking of tying, Colin and Al are now level on PRA after the night's action. Ja Morant earned Colin 36 PRA as Memphis won their third game in four to claim the second seed in the Western Conference.
- Al got to his total with the evening's top score via Portland's Trendon Watford. The undrafted rookie out of LSU put up the second-highest total for an undrafted rookie in 2021-22 with 60 PRA off the Blazers bench. It was his first career double-double. He was the runaway rookie bench bargain.
- If the context clues didn't give it away earlier, Trevor was the only person who could have taken the night's optimal scorer LeBron James. He had 69 (nice) PRA in Los Angeles' comeback win over the Warriors including a season-high 56 points. Both veteran bench bargains emanated from Florida teams as Miami's Tyler Herro and Orlando's Moritz Wagner each had 31 PRA respectively.
