NBA Playoffs Run 01 | Day 01


Today’s Fast Break Overview:

  • Objective(s): Most Points Scored

  • Games Today: 4

Considerations:

  • The only objective for the NBA Playoffs are Points Scored

  • You’ll select three (3) players each night; Captain still earns 1.5x

  • Run 1 will span both the First Round and the Conference Semifinals (April 18-May 16)

  • Overall rank will be based on the aggregated total points scored across the entire run

Statistical Approach:

Top players in points scored according to Rotowire & NBA.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.
