NBA Fast Break Classic | Run 1 | Day 8
Joker’s Triple-Double Streak and Maxey’s 43 Power a Wild Monday Slate
NBA Recap: October 27, 2025
Yesterday brought fireworks across the league, but Nikola Jokic set the tone early with his third straight triple-double to open the season—joining Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook as the only players in NBA history to do so. The two-time MVP dropped 25 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists in Denver’s 127–114 win over Minnesota, reminding everyone that the Nuggets are still a force to be reckoned with.
In Philly, Tyrese Maxey exploded for 43 points to lead the 76ers past the Magic 136–124, stepping up in Joel Embiid’s absence and delivering eight straight points in a pivotal fourth-quarter stretch. Rookie VJ Edgecombe added 26, continuing his early-season surge. Victor Wembanyama kept the Spurs unbeaten at 4–0 with a 24-point, 15-rebound night in a 121–103 win over Toronto. The Jazz outlasted the Suns 138–134 in overtime, while the Thunder edged Dallas 101–94 behind a gritty defensive effort.
Out west, the Warriors bounced back with a 131–118 win over Memphis, and the Trail Blazers stunned the Lakers 122–108 at Crypto.com Arena. In Chicago, the Bulls held off the Hawks 128–123 in a back-and-forth battle. From Joker’s historic start to Maxey’s breakout and Wemby’s consistency, the day was a reminder that the league’s young stars aren’t waiting their turn—they’re taking it.
NBA Fast Break Results: Day 7
Yesterday marked the second sub-50% win day during this run as only 32% of collectors earned a win yesterday. Although Zion Williamson was ruled out late in the day, he was still utilized in 40% of lineups. With his double donuts, he is naturally your Fast Break Dud of the Day even though he didn’t play a single minute yesterday.
Anthony Davis, however, was the second most utilized player (51%) and delivered 18 points in the paint and 5 offensive rebounds, which covered 36% and 42% of the day’s objectives respectively.
Today’s Fast Break Objective(s): Day 8 of 13
Objective(s): 40 Rebounds (8.0 REB)
You’ll need five (5) players who will accumulate 40.0 or more rebounds, which means each player will need to average 8.0 REB. The objective is low, especially when you factor in the captain bonus, which adds 50% to the first player you select in your lineup. With that said, anticipate today to be a high win rate across all Fast Breakers.
Top Player Options:
Glass Crashers: Domantas Sabonis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo
Top Five (5) Players in Pro Lineups: B. Adebayo (80%) | K. Towns (63%) | D. Sabonis (58%) | G. Antetokounmpo (54%) | I. Zubac (33%)
Upcoming Fast Break Objectives:
Objectives remaining (after today):
2x: 3PM, 3PA
1x: FGM, FGA, AST-TO, AST, BLK, STL, PITP
Tomorrow Objective(s): 45 Field Goals Made & 55 Field Goal Attempts (9.0 FGM & 11.0 FGA)
Considerations:
Charlotte has the most games remaining (4)
Eight (8) teams have the least games remaining (3)
Day 9 has 20 teams in action, so they’ll have the most flexibility
Day 10 only has eight teams in action, so that’ll be the least flexible day remaining
The always challenging AST-TO objective will be on Day 10 (Oct 30)

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

Witty’s Fast Break Challenge:
In NBA Fast Break, how often you can use a player depends on the value of their moments—measured by average sale price. That system can put newer and/or smaller collectors at a disadvantage, limiting their ability to compete. This segment is designed to level the playing field, giving resourceful collectors a shot at rewards and proving that smart strategy can still win, even without a stacked collection.
