Pick 5 Players who will combine for 30 Rebounds and 5 Three Pointers Made to earn your win.

Overview:

The end of the WNBA season is about ten days away. Each team has either four or five games remaining on their schedule and there are seeding implications for the remainder of the season amongst the top seven teams. Chicago is barely hanging onto the last playoff spot and only have a game lead over an Atlanta team who almost upset the Indiana Fever in their previous matchup. With Washington playing Chicago and Atlanta (2x) in their final three games, I wouldn’t count out the Mystics just yet. Keep in mind the WNBA Playoffs ignore conferences and seed based on overall record. If the playoffs began today, we would see the following matchups:

  • (1) New York Liberty vs. (8) Chicago Sky

  • (4) Las Vegas Aces vs. (5) Seattle Storm

  • (3) Connecticut Sun vs. (6) Indiana Fever

  • (2) Minnesota Lynx vs. (7) Phoenix Mercury

This means we could potentially see last year’s WNBA Finals matchup in the Semifinals this year. It also means Indiana will have a mountain of a task in overcoming Connecticut whom they are 1-3 against this season (but they did win their most recent meeting). Considering Indy is 8-2 in the last 10 and continue to play at a high level with Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aliyah Boston leading the way.

With a likely WNBA Playoffs Run in the near future, it is prudent to follow the playoff teams as your player pool will rely on their respective team’s success in the quarterfinals (and possibly semifinals). Over the next ten days, there are seven days with games scheduled (including today) which means there are three gap days along the way. Three days into this run and we’ve seen three days where 80% of the participants walked away with a win. As there are about 2,300 participants thus far, many are on the verge of securing the mid tier pack and six days to accumulate three wins to earn the top tier pack. This also means there are a lot of WNBA moment collectors who are still in the running for one of the three Legendary Packs. Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves though and focus our attention on today’s objective.

Today’s Objective:

Fast Break Day 4 requires five (5) players who will accumulate 30 or more Rebounds and drain 5 or more Three Pointers, which means your lineup will need an average of 6.0 REB and 1.0 3PM per player. Between the two targets, rebounds will be the more challenging as five three pointers from five players should be easy to come by. Although these two stats aren’t usually correlated, there are a number of players who could get you a little of both stats.

  • Little of Both: Satou Sabally, Jonquel Jones, DeWanna Bonner, Breanna Stewart, Azura Stevens

  • Crashes the Glass: Tina Charles, Napheesa Collier, Dearica Hamby, Alyssa Thomas, Teaira McCowan, Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart, Natasha Howard, Naz Hillmon, DeWanna Bonner, Satou Sabally, Brionna Jones, Azura Stevens

  • From Outside the Arc: Rhyne Howard, Arike Ogunbowale, Sabrina Ionescu, Kayla McBride, Satou Sabally, Bridget Carleton, Mabrina Mabrey, Allisha Gray, DeWanna Bonner, Leonie Fiebach, Jonquel Jones, Tyasha Harris, Breanna Stewart, Azura Stevens, Rickea Jackson, Alanna Smith, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Odyssey Sims, Kia Nurse

Upcoming Objectives:

  • Tomorrow, Points Scored & Blocks will be the objectives and there will be six (6) teams in action.

  • After today:

    • Twice: Points Scored (PTS), Field Goals Made (FGM), Three Pointers Made (3PM)

    • Once: Blocks (BLK), Assists minus Turnovers (AST-TO), Steals (STL), Free Throws Made (FTM), Assists (AST), Rebounds (REB)

Considerations:

  • There is one (1) more day where only two (2) teams are in action (6)

  • There are two (2) days where ten (10) teams are in action (Day 7 & 9)

  • There are two (2) days where every team (12) will be in action (Day 8 & 10)

  • The always elusive Assists minus Turnovers is an objective on Day 7

  • Indiana & Phoenix have the least number of games remaining (4)

  • Every other team has five (5) games remaining

  • Some playoff teams may opt to rest their players in the final game or two

  • Between September 13-19, there will be games every other day

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.
