Fast Break Run 10 | Day 3
Pick 5 Players who will combine for 35 Points in the Paint and 10 Offensive Rebounds to earn your win.
Overview:
After the first two days of WNBA Fast Break, we’ve seen over 80% of participants earn a win on each day so far. With 20% of this run behind us (2 out of 10), there have been 2,100+ participants and we are on pace to match the high watermark of 2,800+ participants. With the WNBA Playoffs set to begin on September 22nd and the NBA Season about a month later, we will likely see high interest in the NBA version of Fast Break. and 50% more participants. If this run is any indication, there may be some notable rewards for the 2024-2025 NBA Fast Break season which could lead to even more participants.
Side note: should you have an interest in NFL All Day, remember that pre-orders for the Rookie Packs Wave 2 ends on Sunday. They are also working on something similar to Fast Break, but for weekly NFL gamification. There are two opportunities you should consider before the slate of Sunday football games. First, go to Own The Moment and register for this week’s Rumble, which comes with $5,000 in prizes including $1,000 to the winner. It’s a free Rumble, so all you need to do is use your existing collection to set a lineup that will score the most points this week. In addition, be sure to complete the predictive challenge(s) on nflallday.com to earn rewards at each tier (which ends in about 10 hours from this article. For example, choosing five players who will meet the designated objective, you will earn a Rookie Debut Quick Rip.

Today’s Objective:
Fast Break Day 3 requires five (5) players who will accumulate 35 or more Points in the Paint and gather 10 or more Offensive Rebounds, which means your lineup will need an average of 7.0 PiP and 2.0 OREB per player. Between the two targets, offensive rebounds will be the more unpredictable. As these two stats are often correlated though, you have a number of players you can include in your lineup who are proficient in both stat categories.
