Written By Witty

Pick 5 Players who will combine for 20 Assists and 20 Rebounds to earn your win.

Overview:

The next two days of WNBA games will determine whether we have any scheduled games on Day 4 or Day 5. Should all four teams who are up 1-0 in their series (NYL, LVA, CON, MIN), then your only chance to secure three (3) wins is by winning the next two days. In the event we have an upset (looking at you Indiana), we would have an extra day to earn a win. Keep in mind this series only has two win-based milestone rewards and no daily or overall reward.

It’s already been confirmed there will be two more rounds of WNBA Fast Break. WNBA Fast Break Playoffs Round 2 will be a best-of-five series, so there will be more games with four (4) teams in the mix, but it will have a smaller player pool. Take it a step further and the Finals will only have two (2) teams available and at least three games in which to set a lineup. This will make for a difficult time for anyone who are limited in their rare/legendary collection of WNBA players. Until then, we have at least two (2) more days of games in Round 1, so let’s dive into today’s objectives.

Playoff Matchups:

  • New York (1) vs. Atlanta (8)

  • Las Vegas (4) vs. Seattle (5)

Today’s Objective:

Fast Break Day 2 requires five (5) players who will accumulate 20 or more Assists and 20 or more Rebounds, which means your lineup will need an average of 4.0 AST and 4.0 REB per player. Half the playoffs are in action today and the other half plays tomorrow. Between the two objectives, Assists will be more challenging to accumulate, but you have plenty of players available who can help. you achieve today’s goal. With Las Vegas and New York being up 1-0 in their series respectively, they have the opportunity to close out their opponents. If they succeed, Day 4 will have no scheduled games, which means today’s outcome will be important to earning the top reward. With that in mind, let’s dive into the list of players you should target for your lineup.
