Pick 5 Players who will combine for 50 Points Scored and 10 Assists to earn your win.

Overview:

We’ve reached the final day of this Fast Break series and the final one of an exciting WNBA Season.

In Games 1-3 of the WNBA Finals, one team had a large lead over the other with Games 1 & 3 coming down to the wire. Game 4 differed in that it was a tight contest throughout and had 14 lead changes, 13 ties, and came down to the final minute of play. After Jonquel Jones tied the game with 1:10 remaining, we did not see another point until Sabrina Ionescu fouled Bridget Carleton with 2.0 seconds remaining. She sank the two free throws and Sabrina missed a game winning three pointer, which ties the series and sends it back to New York - a city who is experiencing some postseason fireworks in multiple sports. The New York Liberty hope to take advantage of home-court and win their first championship in franchise history.

As a reminder, we are half a week away from the start of the NBA Season which kicks off on October 22nd. The first NBA Fast Break is live which will span twelve (12) game days and has some impressive rewards lined up. There were ten (10) total regular season Fast Break runs for WNBA, so anticipate 18-20 runs for the NBA Season.

Today’s Objective(s):

Fast Break Day 5 requires five (5) players who will score 50 or more Points and distribute 10 or more Assists, which means your lineup will need to average 10.0 or more PTS and 2.0 or more AST per player. There is a correlation between these two objectives, so you’ll have a few player options who can get you both stats. The challenge is whether you have enough players remaining.

  • Little of Both: Sabrina Ionescu

  • Bucket Getters: Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Sabrina Ionescu, Kayla McBride, Jonquel Jones

  • Distributors: Courtney Williams, Courtney Vandersloot, Sabrina Ionescu

Statistical Approach:

Top players in projected Points Scored & Assists 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.
