NBA Fast Break Historic | Run 4 | Day 5

Today’s Objective(s): 50 Rebounds & 10 Offensive Rebounds

Overview:

Day 4 marked the 4th straight day where over 75% of Fast Break participants earned a win — yesterday, 91% walked away happy. The expectation will be no different for Day 5 as you’ll need field goals made & field goal attempts. Considering all five players on each team plays for 36 minutes within the simulation, you have a healthy range of players you can choose from who have shown they take and make a large dose of buckets.

Demarcus Cousins was the 5th most utilized player and he delivered for the 31% of lineups he represented as he contributed 19 rebounds & 4 offensive rebounds. With his performance, he earned the Fast Break Stud of the Day. Dwight Howard appeared in the most lineups as he was utilized in 63% of lineups and he had a serviceable day with 10 rebounds and 2 offensive boards, but he had the lowest contribution of the top five. With that said, there were Duds on the day considering the high level of success.
