NBA Fast Break Historic | Run 3 | Day 5
Today’s Objective(s): 100 Points Scored & 40 Field Goals Made
Overview:
Day 4 marked the fourth straight day where over 50% of Historic Fast Break participants earned a win and established the high watermark of this run with a 93% success rate. As we have reached the midway point of this run, player availability will start to become more strained - especially at the top of the house. This is where the data will set you apart from the pack as many will rely on career averages instead of run-based stats.
Dwight Howard led the way in both career and run-based yesterday as he was the most utilized player and delivered 18 rebounds with 6 offensive rebounds. This accounted for 40% of the required rebounds and 60% of the needed offensive rebounds. With his performance, he earned the Fast Break Stud of the Day.
DeMarcus Cousins had the lowest output, but he wasn’t grossly below the threshold. Everyone else had at least 10 rebounds to their tally. As such, there was no Duds yesterday.
