NBA Fast Break Run 7 | Day 13
Pick 5 Players who will combine for 20 Assists and 12 Three Pointers Made to earn your win.
Recap & Overview:
Unlike Boston a couple nights ago, the Milwaukee Bucks took care of business against the likely lottery Raptors. In this game, two players accumulated more than ten (10) rebounds as needed for Fast Break, but one of those players was not Bobby Portis who contributed only six (6). Since he was used in 33% of lineups yesterday, that meant the remaining four (4) players in these lineups needed to make up for that deficit. The other four top players used (Hart, Vooch, Joker & Bam) had more rebounds with Hart being the only one under double digits (he had 9). If you happen to use Gobert in your lineup, he had six (6) rebounds also but since Bobby was a top utilized player, he’s your Fast Break Dud of the Day with Gobert as your honorable mention. It didn’t help that Anthony Davis was a very late scratch which forced Fast Breakers who were paying attention to scramble for an alternative option (he was in the top five as of the yesterday’s article). Without AD to claim the highest rebounding total, Nikola Vucevic (who had one more rebound than the other Nikola) is your Fast Break Stud of the Day due to his 13 rebound performance. Mark Williams earned honorable mention as he accumulated 19 rebounds.
Day 13 had more potential for more wins than what we saw the previous two days, but some key poor performance sunk the majority of lineups where only 18% walked away unscathed - plus this point of Fast Break typically sees tighter and more varied lineups which leads to more varied outcomes. As we approach the final two days of this run and prepare for Run 8 (which is live), it is a great opportunity to either finish strong for the next reward or to carry the momentum into the next series. It’s worth noting Run 8 will span only eleven (11) games and win-based rewards will require 3, 6, 9, and 11 which means your room for error is razor thin and you’ll need all the extra oomph to stake your claim for the available rewards.
Today’s Objective(s):
Fast Break Day 13 requires five (5) players who will distribute 20.0 or more assists and sink 12.0 or more three pointers, which means your lineup will need to average 4.0 AST and 2.4 3PM per player. There are a number of players who can help you achieve both targets and there are some who specialize in one or the other. Regardless of your approach, you’ll want a balanced lineup so you aren’t too heavily weighted in one category or the other.
Little of Both: Stephen Curry, Devin Booker
Distributors: Trae Young, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Haliburton, Fred VanVleet, Stephen Curry, Devin Booker, Tyrese Maxey, Darius Garland, Andrew Nembhard, Draymond Green
Outside Shooters: Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, Malik Beasley, Jordan Poole, Jalen Green, Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker
Top Five (5) Players in FB Lineups: S. Curry (69%), T. Young (55%), D. Garland (49%), T. Haliburton (33%), T. Jones (28%)
Looking Ahead:

Charlotte, Dallas, Memphis, New Orleans, New York, Toronto, and Utah have no games remaining
Philly, Portland, & Washington have the most number of games remaining (2)
Boston & Minnesota are playing the tail end of a back-to-back
Statistical Approach:
Top players in projected assists & three pointers made according to Rotowire & NBA.com, which is available in the table(s) below. Overall rank is based on daily projections, last 10 games, and rest of season projections, which is stack ranked amongst peers for each objective. When there is a single objective, the three data points are still used to stack rank the players vs. ranking solely on projections. For tome+ subscribers, projected rest-of-season stats are available in the provided data file. Omission of certain players would be based on injuries at the time of data pull.

Tome Collective’s Fast Break Run 7 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 the Tome Collective account participates in Fast Break without using any player more than once - in both our success and failures.
Make that three rough days in a row. We have two days to gain one win to reach the 7-win reward. Day 13 feels better than Day 14 and may need to sub out VanVleet if he’s still unavailable due to personal reasons. So, we’ll need to keep a keen eye on the injury report before the Houston game.
