NBA Fast Break Historic | Run 2 | Day 3
Today’s Objective(s): 45 Rebounds & 4 Blocks
Overview:
After two days, the majority of Fast Break participants remain perfect. Comparatively, stat accumulation in Run 2 is much lower than Run 1, so there is a noticeable difference in the algorithm. As we are still early in this series, today should not pose a problem for most collectors, so long as you have a well-rounded lineup who can secure rebounds and swat at least four attempts.
Also, we are now able to aggregate averages since we have two games behind us. By tomorrow, we’ll be able to focus solely on averages without incorporating career averages as those aren’t necessarily the most accurate relative to the algorithm. For today’s rankings, they’re still included.
Although the two objectives are often correlated, rebounds will be the one that moves you up the rankings, but the blocks will likely be the objective that prevents the win. Balance is key with a slight emphasis on rebounds for higher placement.
