NBA Fast Break Historic | Run 2 | Day 5
Today’s Objective(s): 25 Assists & 10 Three Pointers Made
Overview:
There are six days remaining in this run and yesterday there were less than 50% of Fast Break participants who earned a win. Dirk Nowitzki was the most utilized player (49%) and delivered the highest output with 15 FGM & 36 Points. He is your Fast Break Stud of the Day.
As both assists & three pointers are needed today, there are a handful of players who thrive in both areas, but there aren’t as many as there were in Run 1. With that said, you may need to rely on specialists to get you across the line for a win today.
