NBA Fast Break Run 6 | Day 10
Pick 5 Players who will combine for 35 Field Goals Made and 15 +/- to earn your win.
Recap & Overview:
Knowing how challenging the remaining days of this run will likely be, many Fast Breakers with limited player options opted to sit out and it turned out to be a decent decision considering only 35% of participants earned a win. De’Aaron Fox was the most heavily utilized player, appeared in 39% of lineups, and contributed 35 points to help many of the 35% earn a win (it was 29% until he scored his final two points with about two minutes remaining against the Sixers). This effort earned him the Fast Break Stud of the Day. Kyrie Irving returned from a one-game hiatus due to injury and put in 37 minutes of work against the Rockets, but only contributed 16 points - nine off the needed pace. As he was the second most utilized player at 37%, he was the likely he biggest contributor to losses for those participants, which earns him the Fast Break Dud of the Day Award.
Seven participants lost their perfect record, so we are down to 15 who have won all nine (9) days of this run. With close to 8,200 participants this run, it is now a game of survival to land in the top 500 for the Run 6 rewards and Top Shot Credit. Keep in mind the top 25 receives $100+ and tapers down based on final standing ($5 if you’re between 201-500). Let’s dig into the objectives and chart as best a path as possible - likely involving players from Boston, Oklahoma City, Miami, and/or Milwaukee players (and maybe the Lakers considering they’re playing Portland).
Today’s Objective(s):
Little of Both: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jalen Williams
Bucket Getters: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Anthony Davis
Teams (playing today) Ranked by Differential:
Tier 1: Boston, Oklahoma City
Tier 2: Miami, Milwaukee, LA Clippers, Golden State
Tier 3: Indiana, LA Lakers, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Portland, Minnesota
Top Five (5) Players in FB Lineups: J. Tatum (55%), L. James (39%), J. Brown (38%), G. Antetokounmpo (35%), D. Lillard (30%)
Looking Ahead:
Tomorrow, 5 blocks and 5 steals are the two objectives and there are 18 teams in action
Objectives (after today): OREB, AST-TO, BLK, PIP, STL
Considerations:
Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, and Toronto have the least number of games remaining (1)
Boston & Golden State have the most games remaining (3)
Brooklyn, Miami, and Philadelphia are playing the tail end of a back-to-back
Both +/- and AST-TO make an appearance in Run 6 (today & Day 13)
Dallas’s last game of this run is tomorrow
Statistical Approach:
Top players in projected field goals made and +/- according to Rotowire & NBA.com, which is available in the table(s) below. Overall rank is based on daily projections, last 10 games, and rest of season projections, 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+ subscribers, projected rest-of-season stats are available in the provided data file. Omission of certain players would be based on injuries at the time of data pull.

Tome Collective’s Fast Break Run 6 Line-Up (Commons Only Challenge):
Many Fast Break participants do not have an extensive collection of rare or legendary moments, so they are limited to single use commons. Even with a limited lineup, participants have found a way to reach the maximum rewards. Follow along as the Tome Collective account participates in Fast Break without using any player more than once - in both our success and failures.
Streak officially broken thanks to being preoccupied with errands plus Jalen Brunson’s late scratch. Today is looking dicey without a heavy tilt of Boston and Oklahoma City players. With yesterday’s loss and today’s unlikelihood, we’ll need to win out to earn the 9-win pack.
