Pick 5 Players who will combine for 25 Rebounds and 15 Points in the Paint to earn your win.

Overview:

Game 2 started similarly to Game 1 and Minnesota pulled within 4 points late in the third period, but New York countered and came away with a 14 point victory to even the series. A pivotal Game 3 shifts to Minnesota where New York is favored to win, but not by as much as Game 1 or 2. It’ll be left to be seen whether New York can use their momentum to position themselves for their first WNBA title or if Minnesota uses home court to their advantage.

There are over 2,200 total participants in this WNBA Finals run and over 1,000 have two (2) wins and will be looking to secure that top reward. We know there will be a Game 4, which will require 5 3PM & 5 FTM, so anyone with two wins has the flexibility to decide whether they aim for the easier objectives or pursue the top 100 reward. Alternatively, anyone with a single win is rolling the dice by not playing both days. The challenge, though, is you will need rares and legendaries in order to participate in the remaining days. For most, the likeliest goal is the three win pack.

As a reminder, we are less than a week away from the start of the NBA Season which kicks off on October 22nd. There were ten (10) total regular season Fast Break runs for WNBA. Anticipate 18-20 runs for the NBA Season, so the sooner you secure top players in various stat categories (or the most versatile), the more uses you’ll have for those players. TOME+ subscribers now have access to Witty’s Player Targets which identifies the most versatile players in Fast Break. Aren’t a TOME+ subscriber? Don’t worry. We’ll publish top five (5) player targets in these daily articles throughout the season.

Playoff Matchup:

  • New York (1) @ Minnesota (2)

Today’s Objective(s):

Fast Break Day 3 requires five (5) players who will gather 25 or more Rebounds and score 15 or more Points in the Paint, which means your lineup will need to average 5.0 or more REB and 3.0 or more PIP per player. There is a correlation between these two objectives, so you’ll have a few player options who can get you both stats.

  • Little of Both: Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones

  • Glass Crashers: Napheesa Collier, Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart

  • Interior Scorers: Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu, Alanna Smith, Kayla McBride, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton

Statistical Approach:

Top players in projected Rebounds & Points in the Paint according to Rotowire, which is available in the table(s) below. Overall rank is based on projections, playoff averages, season averages, and ranks amongst peers for each objective. Omission of certain players would be based on injuries at the time of data pull and/or no moments available.

Rewards:

  • Daily Reward: Top 100 each day will receive a WNBA Quick Rip pack

  • Milestone Reward: Reach 1 & 3 wins and each tier earns you a pack
