Friends in fast breaks,

We're catching our stride, hitting new highs in every pool this week. New highest points per pick in Points OAD and new highest win rates in Survivor and All 30. Are we getting better and better? Luckier and luckier? I say yes to all!

RESULTS SUMMARY

Points One-And-Done

D. Booker was our top scorer this week, dropping a clean 40 on the floundering Grizz. 

The other top scorers were N. Jokic (38 points), D. Fox (36), Z. Lavine (36), J. Embiid (35), S. Curry (35), and A. Edwards (35). Z. Lavine gets a special shout out for being the only unpicked high scorer this week. 

G. Antetokounmpo was our top pick, but "only" scored 31. We've had some excellent picking these last few weeks. Our top 10 picks ALL scored 26+, that's stellar.

We averaged 29.0 points/pick this week, another new high. 

This was the second to last week in Interval 1, leaving just two picks to fight for the first prizes of NBA SZN. @Graumann81 is still in the lead by one point at 353. But one unlucky pick can set you back 30+ points, so there's a resonable chance for people as low as 25th place (324 points), to leap up the board. There are three Intervals and five places each, meaning every few weeks you've got something new to play for.

For DNPs, 4 pickable players from our roster didn't play, leading to 48 DNP picks. But only 2 players had double DNPs, resulting in zero points.

As always - Double check the injury report (linked on the pick page) on Thursday or Friday to make sure your picks aren't out. We leave a note on known injured players during the week and remove players with longer-term injuries to try and help prevent this issue, but you have to take control of your destiny here.

Survivor #1

There were 30 incorrect picks this week, resulting in 24 eliminations. We had a 92.3% win rate, but only lost 7% of the Pool in the process. 

Our top 5 picks won, a very "safe" week for us. LAC was the closest to losing, with multiple lead changes and a 4-point play by Harden to seal the deal.

DEN was our biggest loss (13 picks), losing to HOU. That's their second week being our biggest lost - They just aren't the same without J. Murray helping Jokic out. 

All 30 One-And-Done

Our top 5 picks won this week, with DEN being our biggest loss for 14 pickers.

We had a new SZN high 88.3% win rate this week, with our picked teams going 10-6.

We now have a 55-way tie for first with 5 wins and no losses. For comparison, NFL's All 32 Pool made through at least 11 weeks and 18 total picks with perfect records. The two people still standing with perfect records are waiting for the MNF game tonight to learn if they stay perfect through 12 weeks.

Yours in Roundball Rock,
The GM
