WNBA Fast Break Classic | Preseason | Day 4

Today’s Objective(s): 8 Three Pointers Made & 2 Blocks

Recap & Overview:

With only one (1) game on the preseason schedule, player options are limited. With the number of games in one day through the preseason, the guessing game of who are the 1) most capable and 2) playing time needed to accumulate the needed objective. Yesterday, Aliyah Boston came through and delivered 3 assists and 8 rebounds, which earned her the Fast Break Diamond of the Day. Boston and the Fever are in action again today and she is utilized in 28% of today’s lineups. With less than 500 rare moments and a floor of $44, having multiple plays of Boston during Fast Break will be useful (and possibly an advantage for run-based rewards). Same is true for many other players, but many collectors have been positioning themselves for the new WNBA Season for the past couple months and are ahead of the curve.

WNBA for the Uninitiated:

For those who are unfamiliar with the WNBA, there are 13 teams in total (including the expansion team Golden State Valkyries), 44 games played by each team, and they play 10-minute quarters. Of the 13 teams, 8 will make the playoffs. This means there are less teams in action each day and there are less games overall, so Fast Break options are much narrower than their NBA counterpart. This makes rare and legendary moments more relevant to earn wins each day for greater flexibility, but it also means you’ll need to be more strategic each run if you’re limited to common moments. It is also worth noting that WNBA moments are more scarce than the NBA as there are only 29K rares and 4K legendaries of active players. If you are a tome+ subscriber, you have access to the WNBA Fast Break Targets that provides a statistical breakdown of the top players and their current rare/legendary prices. Players who are the most versatile across multiple stat categories are the most valuable as they can be played on multiple days based on need.

Statistical Approach:

Top players in projected three pointers made & blocks according to Rotowire & NBA.com, which is available in the table(s) below. Overall rank is based on daily projections, playoff average, and the playoff 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 playoff 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 WNBA 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 the Tome Collective account participates in Fast Break without using any player more than once - in both our success and failures.

We are running this series back for the WNBA Season. Check back daily for our lineups along with likely adjustments when the WNBA Season begins.
