Pick 5 Players who will combine for 150 Points Scored to earn your win.

Overview:

With the quick turnaround and limited notice, only 4,300 lineups were set For Fast Break Run 2 Day 1 and over 70% walked away a winner thanks to Trae Young’s 12 assist performance which accounted for about half of the requirement for the day. Day 2 comes in a bit hotter and more challenging as it requires 150 points scored to earn the win. All thirty teams are in action on the day before the U.S. Election Day, so your options are broad but your room for error is razor thin.

Each player in your lineup will ideally contribute at least 25 points to give yourself a chance. Any player who falls short of that mark puts a significant strain on your remaining lineup. For example, if one player scores only 20 points, then the rest of your lineup would need to score at least 32 apiece to make up the difference which would make a challenging day even more difficult. Some participants are opting to sit out of Day 2 entirely, some are setting a lineup with leftover players, and some are going for it and using their best players available. Knowing that Day 11 only has two teams in action (Dallas & Utah), it is in your best interest to plan ahead to maximize your chance at the top reward and top 200 overall.

Play close attention to game start times. If your early players fall egregiously short of the goal, it may be worth pulling players from your lineup to save for another day. On that note, let’s dive into today’s objective.

Today’s Objective(s):

Fast Break Day 1 requires five (5) players who will score 150 or more Points, which means your lineup will need an average of 30.0 PTS per player. All thirty (30) teams in action, so your options are extensive, but 150 points is a challenging no matter how you slice it.

  • Scorers:

    • Tier 1 (averaging 30+ points on the season): Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo, LaMelo Ball, Anthony Davis

    • Tier 2 (averaging 27+ points on the season): Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Stephen Curry, Tyrese Maxey, Anthony Edwards, RJ Barrett

Upcoming Objective(s):

  • Tomorrow there are no games scheduled. The day after, free throws and three pointers made are needed and 25 teams are in action.

  • After today, here are the remaining objectives:

    • 2x: REB, FTM, AST, FGM, 3PM

    • 1x: PIP, OREB, BLK, STL, Fouls Drawn, 3PA, PTS

  • Daily Reward: Top 50 each day will receive a pack

  • Milestone Reward: Reach 3, 6, or 9 wins and each tier earns you a pack

Tome Society’s Fast Break Line-Up (Commons Only Challenge):

Many Fast Break participants do not have an extensive collection of rare or legendary moments, so they are limited to single use commons. Even with a limited lineup, participants have found a way to reach the maximum rewards. Follow along as Tome Society participates in Fast Break without using any player more than once.

Follow along with our success and failures. So far we have a win under our belt and have eight more to go for the top reward.
