WNBA Fast Break Classic | Run 5 | Day 1

Today’s Objective(s): 25 Rebounds & 10 Free Throws Made

Overview:

Fresh Fast Break run means a clean slate and a reset of your player options. As there are two games on today’s slate with the first taking place at 11:30AM ET | 3:30PM ET, we are publishing this article without the usual summary of yesterday’s games, outcome for Fast Break, and a preview of today’s games.

You do not have a lot of time to set your lineups for Classic & Pro (or risk being limited to a single game), so let’s jump into the projections.


Today’s Objective(s):

WNBA Fast Break Day 1 requires five (5) players who will accumulate 25.0 or more rebounds and make 10.0 or more free throws, which means each player will need to average 5.0 REB & 2.0 FTM.

  • Little of Both: A'ja Wilson, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, Kiki Iriafen, Shakira Austin

  • Glass Crashers: Angel Reese, A'ja Wilson, Shakira Austin, Kiki Iriafen, Breanna Stewart

  • Charity Stripers: A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Brittney Sykes, Angel Reese, Sabrina Ionescu, Ariel Atkins, Shakira Austin, Sonia Citron, Jackie Young, Kiki Iriafen

  • Top Five (5) Players in Pro Lineups: B. Griner (52%), S. Whitcomb (49%), A. Thomas (44%), J. Canada (37%), T. Hayes (37%)

Upcoming Fast Break Objectives:

  • Tomorrow’s Objective(s): 5 Three Pointers Made & 20 Assists (1.0 3PM & 4.0 AST)

  • Objective Frequency (after today):

    • 3x: 3PM

    • 2x: AST, FGM

    • 1x: FGA, AST-TO, REB, PITP, FTM, BLK, PTS, OREB, FGM

  • Badge Frequency (after today):

    • Top Shot Debut Badge: 4

    • Rookie Year Badge: 2

    • MGLE, Level Up, or ‘2024 Playoffs: 2

Considerations:

  • Run 5 will span July 8th through July 16th, which will be 9 total days (with no off days until the WNBA All-Star Game)

  • Chicago, Indiana, & Minnesota will have the most games this run (5)

  • Five (5) teams will have the least number of games this run (3)

  • There will be three teams who will have true back-to-back matchups

  • 6 of 9 days will only have two games scheduled

  • The dreaded Assists minus Turnovers day lands on Day 4

Statistical Approach:

Top players in projected Rebounds & Free Throws Made according to Rotowire & WNBA.com, which is available in the table(s) below. Overall rank is based on daily projections and season averages, 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+ members, all active player stats are available in the provided data file. Omission of certain players would be based on injuries at the time of data pull.


Classic Run Rewards:

  • Daily Reward: Top 200

  • Milestone Reward: 3, 7, & 9 Wins

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.

In Progress…
