No games tonight
None of our 67 teams play today, so the Den is resting. Your Brick by Brick wall stands as it is.
The Daily Five
Five players and one team defense from tonight's games. Swap anyone until their game tips.
| Player | Pts | Reb | Ast | Proj | Pick |
|---|
Scoring. Players: 1 per point, 1.2 per rebound, 1.5 per assist, 2 per block, 2 per steal. Team D: 1 per block and steal, plus half a point for every point allowed under 75 and every point of opponent field-goal percentage under 45 (both can go negative). Proj is the season average run through the same formula. Weights are a first draft.
Pick 4
Pick four games straight up. A right pick is worth 100 minus the win chance of the side you took, so a heavy favorite is worth 5 and a coin flip 50.
