NBA Fast Break Historic | Run 4 | Day 6

Today’s Objective(s): 5 Steals & 3 Blocks

Recap:

Day 5 marked the 5th straight day where over 70% of Fast Break participants earned a win — yesterday was the lowest of the run, though, at 74%. Considering today requires 5 steals and 3 blocks, the objectives should be a achievable. There are a couple players who have averaged a little of both, but there are players who excel in one category or the other.

Allen Iverson was the answer to many lineups as he was the 5th most utilized player (24%) and delivered the 3rd best outcome on the day as he made 14 field goals made out of 26 field goal attempts. Lamarcus Aldridge, on the other hand, was relied upon by 44% of Fast Break participants and shot 7 of 20 from the field, which was the lowest mark amongst the top five. Considering each player needed to go 8 of 16, he fell short of the makes column. With that said, he earned the Fast Break Dud of the Day award.
