WNBA Run 7 | Day 4
Pick 5 Players who will combine for 50 Points Scored and 15 Assists to earn your win.
Overview:
Today is the fourth day of WNBA Fast Break Run 7 and there are 8 remaining game days (over the next 9 days). If you have an extensive WNBA collection with rares and legendaries, you likely have flexibility in lineup optimization. If, however, you’re like most who have mostly or all commons, you will inevitably need to sit out some days and pick your spots strategically.
Of the over 2,100 participants who have submitted at least one lineup, less than half have two wins. Even if you have zero wins, the top reward requires 7 wins so it is still within reach (if you plan accordingly and have a touch of luck based on your WNBA collection).
Today’s Objective:
Fast Break Day 2 requires five (5) players who will score 50 or more points and accumulate 15 or more assists, which means your lineup will need an average of 10.0 Points Scored and 3.0 Assists per player. There are two (2) teams in action today and your lineup options are quite limited (more so if you’re using common moments and used key players already).
Points and Assists are often correlated, so there are a number of players who are capable of delivering both stats. Today will be challenging, but not impossible. The question though is whether today is the day you pursue a win or play it safe for another day. If you decide to push forward, you can choose to utilize players who can provide you both objectives or you can take a moneyball approach.
Little of Both: Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams, Dearica Hamby, Aari McDona,d Alanna Smith
Scorers: Rickea Jackson, Dorka Juhasz (secondary option)
Distributors: Natisha Hiederman (secondary option)
Following the end of this run, there will be a month-long hiatus due to the WNBA All-Star Game, which takes place on July 20th, 2024, and is followed by the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris (July 26-August 11, 2024). WNBA games kick off again on August 15th, 2024 which will likely coincide with Fast Break Run 8.
Looking Ahead:
Tomorrow, 10 teams will be in action and you will need 30 points in the paint and 10 offensive rebounds.
Day 6 will be the next precarious day as there are only two teams in action.
Day 8 will likely be challenging as it requires the often elusive Assists minus Turnovers objective.
After today, Los Angeles will have two more games this series. Every other team, including Minnesota, has either three or four games remaining.
After today, points & 3PM will be an objective twice more; points in the paint, assists, rebounds, offensive rebounds, assists minus turnovers, steals, and field goals made will be an objective one time during this run.
