Friends in fast breaks,
We stan the short king of New York, Mr. Jalen Brunson. Missing Julius Randle and with a key game against their potential playoff matchup CLE, Brunson delivered a stellar performance and outbattled D. Mitchell.
MAKE YOUR WEEK 23 (FINAL!!!) PICKS
- Walking Bucket Wilt OAD >>
- Pick deadline: 4pm PT Friday (4/7)
Yep, this is the LAST week of our OAD. We've been butting heads for 22 weeks to pile on the points, and this is our final chance to max out. Playoff implications, potential rest days, and the usual risks are abound. Keep your eyes peeled for injury/rest changes, that's not how we want it to end!
Plus, the Playoffs are RIGHT THERE. That means Playoff Pick'em time is nearly here. You'll need to be ready to pick for the Play-ins on 4/11. That's a tighter turnaround than normal
ONE AND DONE RECAP
Weekly Standings | Player Performance | Overall Standings
Backup Picks
- 19 of our pickable players didn't play this week and they were taken by 47 pickers
- J. Randle (14 picks) and N. Jokic (12) led in picks with their surprise DNPs
- We ended up with 8 double DNPs who received no points
- Please be sure to use the injury report link and "Check injury report" note we've added to the picking page
Results
- J. Brunson (48 points) dominated for 9 lucky pickers
- With Randle out, Brunson put on another clinic
- We continue to ask... Why didn't Dallas keep this man?
- Other top scorers: L. Doncic (42 pts, 10 picks), D. Mitchell (42, 9), S. Gilgeous (39, 12), J. Tatum (39, 4), A. Davis (38, 12), B. Ingram (36, 23), and J. Butler (35, 6)
- This was one of the better recent weeks in terms of player performance, but we just didn't land our picks
- We scored 25.2 points per pick
- Our biggest flop?
- We've got stiff competition between J. Brown (12 pts, 18 picks), A. Edwards (11, 19), and J. Morant (10, 12)
- I think Brown takes the cake - Edwards was sick and Morant had fewer picks
