Considerations

  • Run 1 begins tonight: this is Day 1, with three games on the slate (BOS @ DET, OKC @ SAS, PHI @ NYK), so only six teams are in play

  • No team has played yet this season, so year-to-date numbers are blank and no one is on a back-to-back

  • The objective combines rebounds and assists. A 35 REB + 20 AST target works out to about 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per player across five players. Twelve players project at 7 or more rebounds and thirteen project at 4 or more assists, but only Jayson Tatum (8.4 REB, 4.6 AST) and Josh Hart (9.4 REB, 4.3 AST) project at both marks

  • Rebounds come from the bigs: Karl-Anthony Towns (13.3), Victor Wembanyama (12.7), Jalen Duren (11.2), Isaiah Hartenstein (10.2), and Chet Holmgren (9.8). Assists come from the guards: Cade Cunningham (7.9), Jalen Brunson (7.0), Stephon Castle (6.4), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (5.4), and De'Aaron Fox (5.2)

  • Players out tonight: Devin Carter (BOS); Nikola Topic, Thomas Sorber, & Otega Oweh (OKC); Tobias Harris & Jayden Quaintance (SAS); Tacko Fall, Dominick Barlow, & Ariel Hukporti (PHI)

  • A top-50 finish in a Pro run qualifies for the invite-only Pro Final

  • Pro run rewards: 1st, 1 Rookie Debut Case; 2nd–10th, 1 Rookie Debut Box each; 11th–50th, 2 Rookie Debut Collector Packs each
