WNBA Fast Break Classic | Run 3 | Day 11
Today’s Objective(s): 3 Blocks & 5 Steals
Recap & Overview:
Favorites Roll, McBride Steals the Spotlight
There were no surprises on the scoreboard last night as both Phoenix and Minnesota posted double-digit wins.
Phoenix set the tone early, jumping out to a 31–18 lead and never looking back. Even after Chicago trimmed the margin in garbage time, the Mercury’s 21-point victory continues their rapid climb up the WNBA power rankings.
In the second game, Minnesota held a slim lead entering the fourth, but Kayla McBride erupted for 14 of her 29 points in the final frame to put away the Sparks, 82–66. Even without Napheesa Collier, the Lynx continue to find ways to win.
Fast Break Recap: McBride Shines, Hiedeman Struggles
Yesterday’s challenge required three-pointers made and total points scored, and Kayla McBride delivered both in spades as she scored 29 points and made five threes. As she was the most utilized player (represented in 58% of lineups), her outstanding performance locked in Fast Break Star of the Day honors. Natisha Hiedeman, however, failed to find her rhythm, contributing just 4 points and 0 threes. With 41% of collectors relying on her, she earns Fast Break Dud of the Day. Fortunately, over 70% of collectors were able to earn a win.
Fast Break Preview: Ten Teams, Endless Possibilities
Tonight’s five-game slate brings multiple narrative threads:
Chicago faces a fresh Atlanta squad just 24 hours after their loss to Phoenix.
In Washington, a trio of elite rookies from the Mystics and Wings clash in a matchup loaded with future All-Star potential.
Indiana travels to Las Vegas, where the Aces are desperate to rediscover the form that made them early favorites.
New York meets Seattle—can the Storm clip another top-tier team and strengthen their contender credentials?
And in the Bay, Connecticut faces Golden State, who continue to overachieve despite significant EuroBasket absences.
This is a prime opportunity for collectors to get creative with their lineups. Let’s dive into today’s projections and find your edge.
Today’s Objective(s):
WNBA Fast Break Day 11 requires five (5) players who will accumulate 3.0 or more blocks and accumulate 5.0 or more steals, which means each player will need to average 0.6 BLK & 1.0 STL. Five games are on today’s slate, so you’ll be using anyone who you have remaining. If you have some flexibility, look to the players who can get you both or moneyball it and lean on specialists per objective.

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

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.
7th win secured! So, today is more a formality than requirement as we’ve achieved our primary objective in earning 7 wins.
