Written By Witty

Pick 5 Players who will combine for 30 Field Goals Made and 10 Free Throws Made to earn your win.

Overview:

With three (3) days remaining in this run, you’ll need at least four (4) wins to have a chance at the 7-win pack. Of the close ~2,700 participants in WNBA Fast Break Run 9, there is only one (1) person remaining who has won each of the first six days - take a bow RipCity_Baby. Behind them are 48 others are have secured five (5) wins during this run and over 200 others who have earned the mid-tier pack.

The WNBA playoffs are quickly approaching and each team has between 7-9 games remaining. If you’re unfamiliar with the structure of the WNBA playoffs, the top eight teams make the postseason regardless of conference. The top seven spots are all but locked up at this point, but the last spot is wide open. Chicago and Atlanta are tied for the final spot as of this writing and both have eight games remaining. Dallas & Washington sit two games behind the final spot and both have eight games remaining also.

As we inch closer to WNBA Fast Break Run 10 and potentially a WNBA Playoffs Fast Break Run, be mindful of players on the playoff teams and who you have available. At this point of the season, your collection is likely robust enough to make it through, but adding a couple options here and there may be worthwhile. In the meantime, let’s get into today’s objective.

Today’s Objective:

Fast Break Day 7 requires five (5) players who will make 30 or more Field Goals and convert 10 or more Free Throws, which means your lineup will need an average of 6.0 FGMs and 2.0 FTMs per player. With eight (8) teams in action, your options are broad. Between the two stats, FGM will be the one to target as FTM are fairly easy to come by (especially with the low threshold). Aggressive scorers who attack the lane are prone to receiving whistles, so some players will be more reliable than others in getting to the line.

  • Little of Both: A’ja Wilson, Kahleah Copper, Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Brittney Griner, Natasha Howard

  • Bucket Getters: A’ja Wilson, Kahleah Copper, Rhyne Howard, Arike Ogunbowale, Brittney Griner, Satou Sabally, Tina Charles, Allisha Gray, Kelsey Plum, Chennedy Carter, Nneka Ogwumike

  • Charity Stripe Patrons: A’ja Wilson, Jewell Loyd, Kahleah Copper, Arike Ogunbowale, Natasha Howard, Allisha Gray, Angel Reese, Rhyne Howard, DiJonai Carrington, Brittney Griner, Jackie Young, Brittney Sykes, DeWanna Bonner, Skyler Diggins-Smith, Brionna Jones, Diana Taurasi

Upcoming Objectives:

  • Tomorrow, Assists & Three Pointers Made will be the objective and there will only be two teams in action.

  • After today: Points Scored (PTS), Three Pointers Made (3PM), Assists (AST), Rebounds (REB)

Considerations:

  • There is one day remaining where only two teams are in action (Day 8)

  • Atlanta, Chicago, Connecticut, Dallas & Las Vegas play their last game of this run today

  • Minnesota has no games remaining this run

  • Phoenix, Seattle, & Washington have two (2) games remaining including today

Introducing, TOME+:

The daily Fast Break articles will continue with minimal changes, but an additional paid option will be available if you would like access to sortable tables in the daily articles (vs. static images) based on each day’s objective, Witty’s Cheat Sheet, and access to a dedicated Fast Break league with additional prizes (beginning Run 9). This offering will continue to expand based on community requests (ex: full season stats for all players in a sortable table (coming soon)) in order to add value to your membership to TOME+. Membership duration will be tracked also with potential future perks and benefits, but will be dependent upon a variety of factors. Said differently, we have many plans and ideas we’d like to activate upon as we want your patronage to be worth your while, but we cannot make any promises or guarantees. One promise we can make though, is that revenues and gifted moments will be reinvested back into the growth of the Tome Society platform. If you’re so inclined, you can join here.
