WNBA Fast Break Playoff Semifinals | Day 5
Pick 5 Players who will combine for 25 Points in the Paint and 5 Three Pointers Made to earn your win.
Overview:
Of the 2,600 participants in this run, only 23 remain a perfect 4 of 4 and there are about 200 others who have secured their three-win pack. If you do not have at least two (2) wins under your belt, the three-win pack will be out of reach. If you do, it all comes down to two high caliber teams with a winner-take-all Game 5. The winner has another tall challenge in New York who are looking almost unbeatable.
At this point of the series, you are scraping the bottom of the barrel if you only have commons (and possibly not enough to fill a full roster). As you would imagine, this has led to a spike in value for the best players on Minnesota & Connecticut. If you have any rares, legendaries, and/or are able to borrow moments, it could be the difference between earning your 3rd win or placing high on the daily or overall.
As a reminder, October 22 marks the end of the WNBA Season and the beginning of the 82-game NBA Season and the 2nd annual in-season tournament. Until then, there will be two (2) Fast Break series to manage. One is NBA Preseason and the other is the WNBA Finals - both of which should get you excited for the return of the NBA Season.
Playoff Matchup:
Connecticut (3) @ Minnesota (2); series tied 2-2
Today’s Objectives:
Fast Break Day 5 requires five (5) players who will score 25 or more Points in the Paint and make 5 or more Three Pointers, which means your lineup will need an average of 5.0 PIP and 1.0 3PM per player. Below you’ll find the best overall players as well as those who excel at one of the traits. Since these two traits focus on inside and outside shooting, there will be no overlap opportunities in this one. We all want a high scoring game to maximize the possibility of more winners.
Little of Both: DeWanna Bonner
Inside Scorers: Napheesa Collier, Alyssa Thomas, Brionna Jones, DiJonai Carrington, DeWanna Bonner, Courtney Williams
Outside Scorers: Kayla McBride, Marina Mabrey, Bridget Carleton
