Dallas defended home court with a 122–109 victory over Houston, Luka Dončić steering the Mavericks past a resilient Rockets squad.
Detroit delivered one of the night’s loudest results, toppling Milwaukee 124–112 at Little Caesars Arena, a win that underscored the Pistons’ growing confidence. Golden State escaped Cleveland 99–94, leaning on late execution to silence the Cavaliers. Atlanta’s offense roared in Washington, dropping 131 points in a 131–116 win over the Wizards. Brooklyn also triumphed 119–101 over New Orleans, a balanced effort that kept the Nets steady in the East race.
Fast Break Recap: Day 6
We are back to a 50%+ win rate in Classic (54%) and Historic (54%), but below in Pro (40%). The win rates weren’t high though and today may see a similar outcome based on the objectives and limitations.
Zubac was the highest utilized player and delivered a solid performance with 14 Points in the Paint & 6 offensive rebounds. With his performance, he earned the Fast Break Stud of the Day award.
Today’s Fast Break Objective(s): Day 7 of 13
Objective(s): 30 Assists & 5 Steals (6.0 AST & 1.0 STL)
You’ll need five (5) players who will accumulate 30 or more assists and 5 or more steals, which means each player will need to average 6.0 AST & 1.0 STL. There aren’t many players who can help you in both categories, but there are plenty who can get you steals along the way. Assists will likely be the metric that determines your win, but don’t neglect the steals.
Top Player Options:
Little of Both: Luka Doncic, Tyrese Maxey, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Distributors: Nikola Jokic, Josh Giddey
Pro Thieves: Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jimmy Butler, Cason Wallace, Jalen Suggs, Anthony Black, Scottie Barnes, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey

Upcoming Fast Break Objectives:
Objectives remaining (after today):
2x: FGM, FGA
1x: PTS, REB, 3PM, 3PA, AST
Tomorrow’s Objective(s): 35 Field Goals Made & 45 Field Goal Attempts (7.0 FGM & 9.0 FGA)
Considerations:
Nine teams only have one (1) game remaining
Thirteen teams have two (2) games remaining
Miami could have either one or two games remaining based on their NBA Cup outcome
LA Lakers, New York, Orlando, San Antonio, & Toronto could have three games remaining depending on their NBA Cup outcome
The four teams playing on Day 13 will depend on the results of Day 9’s NBA Cup results
Day 8-11 & 13 have less than 8 or less teams in action, so your player options are more limited
