WWW - 2025 Pickle Report Week 4
With the NBA cup well underway we are getting to see the warm glow of Friday night basketball courts. The Raptors currently remain undeafeated and with their next two cup matchups being the Hamilton-less Pacers and the Wizards its a fair assumption that they should be able to carry this momentum to top off their bracket with ease. After years of being foretold we are finally getting to see the Detroit pistons taking the top of the East dropping only two games vs the Cavs and Bulls powered by Cunningham taking that next step as a playmakers and dropping back his Turnover rate considerably. In the west there are no real surprises except for maybe Portland placing above the Clippers and Grizzlies. Around the league this week lets look at our big dills:
-
First up, Deni Avdija is playing an extra 4 minutse a night and is putting up record numbers in all categories a sa result. The former wizard has just come off a 110point week with solid 3, assist, and rebound numbers but has struggled with an increasing turnover rate as his usage increased.
-
Keyonte George has been a machine from the line hitting all 22 free throws over the last week. However he went a frigid 9/32 from 3 and 13 turnovers hard capping his upside.
-
Steph Curry has been hot and cold sandwiching 49 and 46 point games between 2/11fg amd 4/13fg stinkers. Having played less than 30 minutes in 6 of his last 10 games hopefully can see more minutes coming his way. At least he's playing most back to backs.
-
What an incredible week from Jalen Johnson, the last man standing in Atlanta. Leading the league in both rebounds and assists alongside 10 steals while scoring 24 points per game, its hard to imagine what kind of performance would be superior.
Hard to imagine or Harden to imagine. The system took advantage of Leonard not Aspiring to play this week and put forward a staggering line, hitting 38/42 free throws and averaging 4.5 3s/9.8 reb/8.8 ast while avoiding his signature 4+ TO a game and punt tier fg%. James Harden you are the bread and butter pick of the week!
