WWW - 2025 Pickle Report Week 5
At the time of this article there are currently 126 reported player injuries ahead of tonight. Managers have had to Sophie's choice their pet player and have spent their focus responding to injuries rather than executing a strategy. We are one step away from online sports books offering futures on a players MCL. The waiver wire pool has been so diluted that player recognition is usually for a bad reason. But all these roster holes has left plenty of opportunity for the remaining stars. Here are some big dills showing how availability is the best ability:
-
Trey Murphy III leads the pelicans in both minutes and scoring, but the impressive part is he also led the league in steals over the past week while going 19/20 from the line.
-
Tyrese Maxey is continuing his early season dominance, with a 144 point week, allowing to Philidelphia to fulfill gameplan of have someone drop 50.
-
Immanuel Quickley is showing signs of life in Toronto throwing out a 68 points week with 24 boards, 21 assists, 7 steals on only 5 turnovers.
-
In Case you were wondering how Josef Nurkic was handling the increased role Kessler out, he had 18 shot attempts the week and went 3/7 from the line.
Last week I stated that it was hard to imagine what kind of performance would be superior to Jalen Johnsons performance last week, and he took that personally. As last weeks reining assists and rebounds leader. He repeated his 24ppg week, but alongside 9 rebounds and 9 assists. He also kept it efficient from the field shooting a clean 500 and still hitting 9 3s. It seems like no matter who Atlanta needs him to be he's able to provide. And that is why we are proud to proclaim Jalen Johnson bread and butter pick of the week.
