NBA Fast Break Classic | Run 8 | Day 5
Today’s Fast Break Objective(s): Day 5 of 11
Objective(s): 50 Points in the Paint & 10 Offensive Rebounds (10.0 PITP & 2.0 OREB)
You’ll need five (5) players who will score 50.0 or more points in the paint and accumulate 10.0 or more offensive rebounds, which means each player needs to average 10.0 PITP & 2.0 OREB. There are some players who thrive in both categories and there are specialists in either stat. A mix of both will go a long way in getting across the win threshold.
Top Player Options:
Little of Both: Joel Embiid, Jalen Duren
Inside Scorers: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Zion Williamson, Joel Embiid
(Offensive) Glass Crashers: Ivica Zubac, Day'Ron Sharpe, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mitchell Robinson, Jalen Duren, Donovan Clingan, Dylan Cardwell, Joel Embiid, Mark Williams
Top Five (5) Players in Classic Lineups: I. Zubac (89%) | Z. Williamson (87%) | D. Sabonis (76%) | J. Duren (67%) | A. Sarr (26%)

Tomorrow’s Objective(s): 130 Points Scored (26.0 PTS)

Day 10 has the most number of teams in action (20)

Statistical Approach:
Top players in points in the paint & offensive rebounds according to Rotowire & NBA.com, which is available in the table(s) below. Overall rank is based on daily projections, last 10 average, 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.
