NBA Fast Break Historic | Run 2 | Day 9
Today’s Objective(s): 30 Assists
Fast Break Historic Recap: Day 8
Day 8 was the seventh of eight days where over 70% of Fast Breakers earned a win — more specifically, 72% won yesterday as points scored and offensive rebounds were needed.
Kevin Garnett saw the highest utilization as he was seen in 56% of lineups and he delivered a 30 point, 1 offensive rebound performance, which earned him the Fast Break Stud of the Day award. On the other hand, Rip Hamilton (4th highest, 37%) struggled as he only scored 16 points alongside a single offensive rebound. Out of the top five, he had the lowest output and rightfully earned the Fast Break Dud of the Day award, but Dirk wasn’t too far ahead in the points column.
Overview:
Day: 9 of 14
Objective(s): 30 Assists (6.0 AST)
Top Player Options:
Distributors:
S Tier (averaged 7.5+ AST): Deron Williams, Jose Calderon, Maurice Cheeks
A Tier (averaged 6.0+ AST): Jason Williams, Stephon Marbury, Ty Lawson, Mike Bibby, Shaun Livingston

Upcoming Fast Break Objectives:
Objectives remaining (after today): AST-TO, STL, FGM, FGA, BLK, REB
Tomorrow Objective(s): 125 Points Scored (25.0 PTS)
Considerations:
Golden State & Sacramento have the most remaining games (4)
Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, & Washington have the fewest remaining games (2)
Day 11 & 13 has 10 or less teams in action, so lineup options are more limited
Day 10 (tomorrow) has 20 or more teams in action, so there is more flexibility with your lineup options
The always volatile & challenging AST-TO takes place on Day 13
Statistical Approach:
Top players in assists according to Rotowire & NBA.com, which is available in the table(s) below. Overall rank is based on daily projections, last 10 (when available), and season averages, which is stack ranked amongst peers for each objective. When there is a single objective, the three data points are still used to stack rank the players vs. ranking solely on projections. For tome+ members, all active player stats are available in the provided data file. Omission of certain players would be based on injuries at the time of data pull.
