The lakers have been fighting to maintain their position as a play in team and their chances are absolutely continent on the surprising availability of Anthony Davis. Despite passing sixty games only one in the last 5 seasons the Los Angeles big man has been holding strong after a brief run in with an errant groin (which might have been code for ducking Draymond). In his 50 games this season he is performing at an extrememly high level of efficiency from the field and exception rebounding numbers. His blocks are not as high as his first couple seasons but he's really found a nice balance of offense and defence over the last 2 years performing at a top 10 level.

The past week he provided major value with an 18 rebound 4 block game against the Knicks. He then followed that up by providing a monster triple double 26/15/11 + 4 blocks against the Hornets. Finally putting up a 32 point, 3 steal, 4 block showing against the Denver Nuggets. He did all this while averaging a single turnover per game, and 22 points per game. This was enough to make up for him shooting 4/12 in one game and taking no 3 pointers the week. I'm seeing triple here and not just triple doubles cause we are proud to present Anthony Davis with yet another bread and butter pick of the week.

Only 2 weeks into the season we are beginning to see that it is transitioning to a big mans game. With block numbers in the stratosphere thanks to the latest class of rookies with no small contribution from both Chet and Wemby.

Last week we had our incumbent pickle holder make up for a weak performance with otherwise dominant stat lines. This week we have a series of dominant performances with a monster game that seals the freshness in. Starting the week on an efficient 26/19/5 and 27/10/3 with a combined 9 blocks and steals. This was followed up with 28/13/3 with 8/8 from the line and 7! blocks. Amazingly everyone in the league passed over this player at least once. Well, he's now the reigning back-to-back weekly pick. Bet you all feel like chumps.

So it is our pleasure at Picklytics Sports Analytics to once again crown Anthony Davis the Bread and Butter Pick of the Week to Anthony Davis of your Los Angeles Lakers.

Lets Fucking Go! Its a new season with new expectations. After a lengthy hiatus we are back reporting the next iteration of new generation of picklytics. With the recent addition of two new teams with five new managers will we see a dilution of pickle solution? Will one manager rise through the brine? Has DJ realized that he isn't in the league yet? These questions will be answered through the 19-week pickle eligibility period.

This week’s winner overcame a highly discussed 0/6 in the second half of the season opener. Usually this would be enough to eliminate any and all chances at taking the NBA's top weekly honor but when you follow it up with a pair of massive 30-point double doubles, capped off with a combined 11 steals and blocks on an astounding 21/39 fgs and 16/18 from the line. Can he pass or make 3s? Irrelevant. What was his stat line for the season opener? Garbage with 2 blocks and 4 dimes. I guess when the king takes a seat after 29 minutes the real ones step up.

So it is our pleasure at Picklytics Sports Analytics to present the inaugural 2023 Bread and Butter Pick of the Week to Anthony Davis of the Lakers.
