WNBA Fast Break | WNBA Finals | Day 1
Pick 5 Players who will combine for 50 Points Scored to earn your win.
Overview:
We’ve reached the conclusion of an exciting WNBA Season where Caitlin Clark and other star rookies shined a spotlight on a talented league with a bright future. From that attention, we saw other stars rise to the occasion to showcase their skills. Napheesa Collier has been a force throughout the playoffs and was virtually unstoppable as she leads all scorers. The Lynx are three wins away from bringing the championship back to the Minnesota who’ve had a rich history of winning (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017), but Sabrina, Stewie, and the rest of the New York Liberty are looking to put a bow on a dominant season which would be the first championship in franchise history (established 1997).
It’s worth noting Minnesota won the season series 3-1 and accounted for almost 50% of New York’s losses this season. “They’re a great team, they’re a really good team. Obviously, they’ve beaten us a few [times]. I don’t think they’ve seen us at our best,'“ Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said Wednesday. “So now it’s about it’s a new season now. We have to bring our best, and hopefully that’s enough.” It’ll be left to be seen whether we see New York’s best or if they’ll suffer another tough defeat in the WNBA Finals. I suspect we will witness a hard-fought series that will go at least four games, possibly five.
As a reminder, October 20 marks the end of the WNBA Season, but the 82-game NBA Season and the 2nd annual in-season tournament commences on October 22. Until then, you’ll have a WNBA Fast Break, NBA Preseason Fast Break, and weekly NFL AllDay Prediction Games. Many opportunities to earn rewards. For the sake of the last WNBA Fast Break series, your goal will be three (3) wins out of five (5) possible days to earn the top reward. The top 100 overall will also earn a Quick Rip pack, but the 3-win reward should be your priority.
