Pick 5 Players who will combine for 80 Points Scored to earn your win.

Overview:

Welcome to a fresh edition of WNBA Fast Break! It feels like only yesterday where we completed Run 8. Oh, how time flies. Anyway, Run 9 has the same win tiers as the previous iteration, but it has one less day to achieve it which means your room for error is thinner by a day. With that in mind, your proactive planning will go a long way to maximizing your collection. Alternatively you could play it day-by-day and set your lineups by mixing and matching. Either way, let’s start today off with a win.

Today’s Objective:

Fast Break Day 1 requires five (5) players who will score 80 or more Points, which means your lineup will need an average of 16.0 Points Scored per player. It’s a fresh start so your options are broad considering there are six (6) teams in action today.

  • Bucket Getters: Kahleah Copper, Jewell Loyd, Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Mitchell, Nneka Ogwumike, Caitlin Clark

Upcoming Objectives:

  • Tomorrow, Rebounds & Three Pointers Made will be the objectives and there will only be two teams in action.

  • After today:

    • Thrice: Rebounds (REB)

    • Twice: Points Scored (PTS), Three Pointers Made (3PM), Assists (AST)

    • Once: Points in the Paint (PiP), Offensive Rebounds (OREB), Blocks (BLK), Field Goals Made (FGM), Free Throws Made (FTM), Assists minus Turnovers (AST-TO)

Considerations:

  • There are three days where only two teams are in action (Day 2, 5 & 8)

  • Day 3 requires Points in the Paint & Assists minus Turnovers, which is always volatile

  • Connecticut plays three days in a row (Day 5-7) including one where they are one of two teams in action

  • Day 6 requires 100 Points Scored (only 5 players in action have averaged 20.0 points this season)

  • Minnesota & Los Angeles only have the least number of games this series (3)

  • Indiana, Phoenix, Seattle & Washington have the most games this series (5)

Statistical Approach:

Top players in projected Points Scored according to Rotowire, which is available in the table below.

Rewards:

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

  • Milestone Reward: Reach 1, 4, or 7 wins and each tier earns you a pack

  • Run Reward: Place in the top 10 and earn a WNBA Metallic Gold LE pack

Introducing, TOME+:

The daily Fast Break articles will continue with minimal changes, but an additional paid option will be available if you would like access to sortable tables in the daily articles (vs. static images) based on each day’s objective, Witty’s Cheat Sheet, and access to a dedicated Fast Break league with additional prizes (beginning Run 9). This offering will continue to expand based on community requests (ex: full season stats for all players in a sortable table (coming soon)) in order to add value to your membership to TOME+. Membership duration will be tracked also with potential future perks and benefits, but will be dependent upon a variety of factors. Said differently, we have many plans and ideas we’d like to activate upon as we want your patronage to be worth your while, but we cannot make any promises or guarantees. One promise we can make though, is that revenues and gifted moments will be reinvested back into the growth of the Tome Society platform. If you’re so inclined, you can join here.

Aren’t able to pay a monthly fee? Currently, there is a promotion available for a month’s subscription in exchange for five (5) WNBA moments sent to TS: TomeSociety.
