Pick 5 Players who will combine for 25 Rebounds and 60 Points Scored to earn your win.
Overview:
Today kicks off the next WNBA Fast Break, which coincides with WNBA Playoff Semifinals. The previous round was best-of-three whereas the semifinals are a best-of-five, which utilizes a traditional 2-2-1 format. Also contrary to the previous iteration of WNBA Fast Break, the daily and run-based rewards which rewards participants with top 100 quick rip packs and run-based rewards including Holo Icon packs for the top 3 finishers.
The WNBA Fast Break Playoff Semifinals will also require more strategy. Do you aim for the three (3) wins and use your best players available, do you save your players to maximize your odds for the daily reward, or do you spread out your players based on day (using Witty’s Cheat Sheet) to increase your chances of placing for the run-based rewards?
