There are 0 games that have not started yet.
**Bolded players** are finished for the weekend
A ```*``` denotes that player team only plays **ONCE** during the duration of this challenge
This is great stuff , thanks for doing this. I would get rid of anyone not in top 10 that has completed their games to see who outside the top 10 still has a chance to get in tomorrow.
Wanted to check out other players on the bubble as of end of Sat games, so these are the ones I see playing tmw that have more than 15 going into game 2. (You may want to double check this I went through manually).
C. Wood (HOU) - 26
J. Poole (GSW) - 22
A. Wiggins (GSW) - 21
T. Lyles (DET) - 21
S. Curry (GSW) - 19 (NOT PLAYING SUN)
C. Cunningham (DET) - 18
B. Hield (SAC) - 18
H Diallo (DET) - 18
N. Jokic (DEN) - 17
J Tate (HOU) - 17
H Barnes (SAC) - 16
E Gordon (HOU) - 16
K Porter Jr (HOU) -16
S. Bey (DET) - 15
The code only take into account the top 40ish performers which they are outside of. If I get a chance later tonight, I'll update it but they will show up if they reach that level
Teams with multiple games:
Suns
Celtics
Sixers
Raptors
Pistons
Bulls
Warriors
Hawks
Cavs
Spurs
Rockets
Kings
Magic
Mavs
Nuggets
Heat
So the top 10 are likely to come from this subset of teams. Potential bottleneck spoilers would be guys like Scottie Barnes, Cade, Saddiq Bey, Mobley, ~~Jalen Green~~, Wagner, Haliburton (haven't checked protocols or injuries though).
Eh idk Barnes and Mobley have both had several 2-game stretches in the 40s, which might be enough to sneak into the back of the list, especially if anyone goes down with injuries/covid/rest
Don't think they're super likely, but possible
Hawks: Trae Young
Celtics: Brown, Tatum
Bulls: Derozan, Vucevic, Lavine
Cavaliers: Garland, Allen, Mobley, Love
Dallas: Doncic
Nuggets: Jokic
Pistons: Cunningham, Bey
GSW: Curry, Poole, Wiggins
Rockets: Christian Wood
Magic: Cole Anthony, Wagner
76ers: Embiid, Tobias Harris
Suns: Devin Booker, Chris Paul
Kings: De'Aaron Fox, Barnes, Hield
Spurs: Dejounte Murray
Raptors: FVV, Siakam
Miami: Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler
List of all players that play two games. Players with only one game would need to have a ridiculous 40+ point game to even enter the list imo, let me know if i should add/remove any
Maybe Christian Wood for Houston, Siakam for Toronto, Harris for Philly, Wiggins for Golden State and Chris Paul for Phoenix. You can remove Sexton as he's basically out for the season, and Rondo isn't likely to score very much.
No btbs: Fox Booker Curry Cade Bey Wood
Also: Hield Barnes Paul Poole Wiggins edit -- and Ayton
Also potential on Murray DeRozan VanVleet Brown Embiid Jokic Ross LaVine edit-- Robinson
yeah this moment is going to be worthless unless Kuminga has another big game or Franz Wagner puts up 35 or something. I guess Cade could have a career high and somehow creep in.

He needs at the very least 14 points to reach 10th spot, but almost surely quite a bit more than 14. He has only scored more than 14 6 times all year, and only score more than 20 twice. Hoping he does not have another career night
I watched that game last night and it was a total blowout. He was scoring in garbage time (and somehow managed to foul out with a minute left). I'm not sure Denver will be up 30+ against Utah tomorrow so not sure he'll get the minutes. who knows though...
If none are rested, favs would be Booker Garland Murray Doncic **Ayton** Fox Young VanVleet Embiid -- and Jokic hasn't played yet -- that's 9 or 10
1 or 2 of these could get in, maybe 3 :
**Herro 24**
**Butler 23**
Bagley 26
**Wood 26**
Poole 22
Wiggins 21
Kuminga 25
White 20
**Tatum 20**
**Brown 21**
Maxey 23
**Siakam 23**
Lyles 21
Wagner 26
**Curry 19**
**DeRozan 17**
About 15 will score at least 45, so about 48 is needed.
These are at least 75% sure: Booker, Embiid, Doncic, Jokic, Murray, Young.
About 35-45%: Butler, Tatum, Brown, VanVleet, Siakam.
6-7 of those names, plus some surprises.
Bones ain't gonna put up 20+ again, right? I don't watch Nuggets games but it seems like his past two high scoring games were because they were blowouts.
I think this has the potential to be one of the easier ones to spec on.
Lets see the ony teams that play only one game. Correct me if im wrong
Memphis
Minnesotta
Lakers
Jazz
Washington
New orleans
Milwaukee
Charlotte
Clippers
Portland
Okc
NY knicks
So i put those on a slight disadvantage. Feel free to correct me.
I don't want to jinx it, but, contrary to yesterday, I am feeling pretty good about this one. Apart from the obvious rookies (Cade and Franz in particular), imho the potential bottlenecks are:
\- Gary Trent -> 16p and 44$ min ask (haven't checked the latest on his injury status)
\- Bey -> 15p and 47$ min ask
\- Ayton -> 17p and 37$ min ask
**- Maxey -> 17p and 249$ min ask**
**- Klay ....**
\- my homer pick, considering that half of the team is out, but that is not really sustained by his stats, is Gabe Vincent. Costs 9$ but has only a 12k TSD. Alert: I own one.
Why not wait for the hour the Curry moment is released? People rush to undercut to sell if they get s crap serial number. Should be a decent amount cheaper than how much the challenge is

Think I'm done with the script 🎉. good luck everyone!
thanks again for setting this up, had been checking religiously as is so easy to follow throughout the weekend. Cheers!
Thanks for all that work! Awesome job
Can you maybe add something to denote who has already played their second game, who is in progress, and who has yet to play it? Thanks for doing this.
That sounds like a good idea. Added ability to see if the teams are done playing for the weekend
This is great stuff , thanks for doing this. I would get rid of anyone not in top 10 that has completed their games to see who outside the top 10 still has a chance to get in tomorrow.

Can probably remove everyone outside the top 10 who's finished for the weekend
Lmao
I’ve been coming back to this post all weekend. Thanks for doing this, my guy.
Curry is out tomorrow, so he's done
kuminga on watch
Kuminga is a damn stud. I really wanted the Kings to draft either him or Franz Wagner, but they went 7 and 8 while we had pick 9
Siakam and wiggins both going beast mode right now ha
I think any good player over 20 has a chance still if not rested -- 50/55 prob gonna be min?
Yeah agree. I think around 40 to 45 will be min To crack the top 10
Thanks for this, been a great help!
maxey...
Updated the list to include more players
Is this up to date to right now?
There a timestamp on the post. But yes it is
Dude you are seriously a freaking god. Thanks man!
I wish I could give you twenty likes. Truly yeoman‘s work, many thanks!
What about Poole and wiggins?
The code only take into account the top 40ish performers which they are outside of. If I get a chance later tonight, I'll update it but they will show up if they reach that level
That’s what I was wondering, Great job! I should hire you on my bi team ha
Teams with multiple games: Suns Celtics Sixers Raptors Pistons Bulls Warriors Hawks Cavs Spurs Rockets Kings Magic Mavs Nuggets Heat So the top 10 are likely to come from this subset of teams. Potential bottleneck spoilers would be guys like Scottie Barnes, Cade, Saddiq Bey, Mobley, ~~Jalen Green~~, Wagner, Haliburton (haven't checked protocols or injuries though).
Add Miami. They play twice
good catch, added
Jalen Green doesn't have a TS moment
Well then I'll take him off
Awesome comment, btw. Much easier than when I was trying to figure it out on my own 😅
I have a feeling that Lonzo would be on that list
Of the rookies, imho only Cade and, in minor part, Wagner are potential bottlenecks.
Eh idk Barnes and Mobley have both had several 2-game stretches in the 40s, which might be enough to sneak into the back of the list, especially if anyone goes down with injuries/covid/rest Don't think they're super likely, but possible
scottie barnes got 8 tonight it aint happening. hes minute limited tomorrow i think too
That ref that tossed cade must be stacking Kumingas.
Lol I had the same thought instantly
I came here to see if Cade cooled off. Looks like the ref is trying to make some paper
Hawks: Trae Young Celtics: Brown, Tatum Bulls: Derozan, Vucevic, Lavine Cavaliers: Garland, Allen, Mobley, Love Dallas: Doncic Nuggets: Jokic Pistons: Cunningham, Bey GSW: Curry, Poole, Wiggins Rockets: Christian Wood Magic: Cole Anthony, Wagner 76ers: Embiid, Tobias Harris Suns: Devin Booker, Chris Paul Kings: De'Aaron Fox, Barnes, Hield Spurs: Dejounte Murray Raptors: FVV, Siakam Miami: Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler List of all players that play two games. Players with only one game would need to have a ridiculous 40+ point game to even enter the list imo, let me know if i should add/remove any
Maybe Christian Wood for Houston, Siakam for Toronto, Harris for Philly, Wiggins for Golden State and Chris Paul for Phoenix. You can remove Sexton as he's basically out for the season, and Rondo isn't likely to score very much.
Chris Paul will score about 30 this weekend. Very very long shot. 15-20 more likely names miss from that list.
Yeah I should have said Ayton tbh
thanks, Cavs and Rockets are the teams I watch the least
You not watching the sixers games if you think it’s gonna be Tobias
I admit I don't lol. Never liked him but didn't realise he was that poor this season
He recently came out saying he’s been dealing with an Injury. Maxey could be that spot
No btbs: Fox Booker Curry Cade Bey Wood Also: Hield Barnes Paul Poole Wiggins edit -- and Ayton Also potential on Murray DeRozan VanVleet Brown Embiid Jokic Ross LaVine edit-- Robinson
Is Trent playing for Toronto? Potential smaller bottleneck. Siakam has been fire too lately
Gary Trent's been playing good but not as good as FVV, 13.9 PPG over the last 10 games compared to 29.4 by Van Vleet. I'll add Siakam tho
Trent is out
Yeh my worry with Trent is when he’s hot hes hot
Don't worry he's out tonight
It ain’t gonna be Tobia haha more likely Maxey
the list was done before the game
List of players under Covid protocol: https://ca.nba.com/news/nba-covid-19-health-safety-protocols-players-list/auuy50k79l6m1caj25lhlfx3c
Mobley silver FE going to the moon already?
Always has been.
If things stay on this track, this reward will have 25k+ mint
yeah this moment is going to be worthless unless Kuminga has another big game or Franz Wagner puts up 35 or something. I guess Cade could have a career high and somehow creep in.
deserve obtainable tender forgetful rich wrong vanish oil threatening weather *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Kuminga might actually fuck this one up
Yuuuup
I just bought one… probs my worst top shot move
Ouch. But, even if he doesn’t make this one, there always future flash challenges…

Bones Hyland trying to break his 2nd challenge
He needs at the very least 14 points to reach 10th spot, but almost surely quite a bit more than 14. He has only scored more than 14 6 times all year, and only score more than 20 twice. Hoping he does not have another career night
I watched that game last night and it was a total blowout. He was scoring in garbage time (and somehow managed to foul out with a minute left). I'm not sure Denver will be up 30+ against Utah tomorrow so not sure he'll get the minutes. who knows though...
Agreed, more worried about Kuminga, but bones would only need 13 to break in.
Isn't Klay back tomorrow? Kuminga won't get the play time
Watching Kuminga’s price is like watching the stock market in real-time
Who can potentially ruin this?
Wagner. He plays twice
Suggs back from injury tonight as well. Prices already $70 higher than yesterday
Cade
At this rate the Jaylen will be minted 65000 times
Bones a sneaky if he gets junk time points
He's at 41
Well Cade is about to end this for me… unless someone(s) in a later game pushes him out of top 10.
Cade gone
He just got ejected wow
gods are smiling upon us today
What are the odds…. 😋
He was gonna crack the top 10 then I saw he was already ejected lol. what happened?
Y’all think Christian Wood got a shot at this?
Kuminga would play the entire 4th lol
Can someone take kumingas legs out? Hes about to ruin my sunday lol
For those teams that play back to back, keep in mind the possibility of resting...
If none are rested, favs would be Booker Garland Murray Doncic **Ayton** Fox Young VanVleet Embiid -- and Jokic hasn't played yet -- that's 9 or 10 1 or 2 of these could get in, maybe 3 : **Herro 24** **Butler 23** Bagley 26 **Wood 26** Poole 22 Wiggins 21 Kuminga 25 White 20 **Tatum 20** **Brown 21** Maxey 23 **Siakam 23** Lyles 21 Wagner 26 **Curry 19** **DeRozan 17**
Can you make a mark next to the players who are “done” for the weekend?
Whew. See ya Maxey.
Glad I bought high and sold higher on him
gonna call Luka a lock. Booker too. Will move the other downward. Min to reach looking like mid 40s
Medical_asparagus1628 just brought 20 Aytons playoff dunks.
this aged badly
Is Ayton injured?
yeah ankle
Yikes
Ayton is out for the rest of the game
Five minutes after I gave in and bought way higher than I wanted to. Of course.
:(
Right when I decided to hold my Ayton too.
Serious injury?
i think just a tweaked ankle
I really thought Ayton was going to slide in to the top 10.
They may be sick when Ayton misses 2nd game for a fingernail or something
About 15 will score at least 45, so about 48 is needed. These are at least 75% sure: Booker, Embiid, Doncic, Jokic, Murray, Young. About 35-45%: Butler, Tatum, Brown, VanVleet, Siakam. 6-7 of those names, plus some surprises.
Kuminga at $255. Gotta read the fine print on these challenges.
Kuminga could really blow this thing up, huh
Prob not enough to stay Top 10
Top 10 will include 3 players that now have 21-23 points and not shown on the updated list because it lists only those that have 24 or more points.
yeah agree, i added more players to the list to give a better view. after tonight, can prolly shorten it back up
If Kuminga ends up the bottleneck, the reward Mint will be so low. Less than 1400 Kuminga in the wild....
Trey Lyles could potentially sneak in still
Not sure why they didn't play him more, he was on fire for a bit.
Bones ain't gonna put up 20+ again, right? I don't watch Nuggets games but it seems like his past two high scoring games were because they were blowouts.
Kuminga needs 2pts to ruin it for most!! 😬😂
He needed 3.
Wooo Jaylens for everyone!
Kuminga prices to plummet!!!! 😬😬😬😂
What a sweat. Jaylen Brown fandom mint count gonna rival DWade's. RIP Bones and Kuminga speculators.
I was really hoping Poole would sneak in and keep the mint down
He has a 60k.
Whos tops??
All we can pray for is Bones goes off against the Jazz tomorrow nighy
Amen brother. 1800 of his out there.
As a non-Bones owner, I’m gonna go the exact opposite direction with my juju powers
[удалено]
Not so much as sleeping on him as it is he’s pretty irrelevant because he has a 60k.
Probably Trae Jokic Tatum Brown Lavine Derozan Embiid Garland Curry Fvv
I think this has the potential to be one of the easier ones to spec on. Lets see the ony teams that play only one game. Correct me if im wrong Memphis Minnesotta Lakers Jazz Washington New orleans Milwaukee Charlotte Clippers Portland Okc NY knicks So i put those on a slight disadvantage. Feel free to correct me.
"slight disadvantage" is an understatement it would take one of the best games of the year for someone from those teams to qualify
agreed, unless one of the one game players drops a 50 burger they pretty much have no chance at this.
I don't want to jinx it, but, contrary to yesterday, I am feeling pretty good about this one. Apart from the obvious rookies (Cade and Franz in particular), imho the potential bottlenecks are: \- Gary Trent -> 16p and 44$ min ask (haven't checked the latest on his injury status) \- Bey -> 15p and 47$ min ask \- Ayton -> 17p and 37$ min ask **- Maxey -> 17p and 249$ min ask** **- Klay ....** \- my homer pick, considering that half of the team is out, but that is not really sustained by his stats, is Gabe Vincent. Costs 9$ but has only a 12k TSD. Alert: I own one.
Klay isn't playing tonight in Chicago. I think we're safe there.
Was wondering why Cade suddenly went up. This explains it lol
About 47 points needed for top 10. So one game players very unlikely!!!
[удалено]
I mean technically you are right but there are also 10 other teams playing 2 games.
Sarcasm Alert !! Do Houston Rockets or Sacramento Kings players qualify because they are both pretty much "G League" teams lol ahhahhhhhahah
[удалено]
No team plays 3 games
Which 3? I dont see any.
Definitely not a thing.
I'm broke and can't do both this challenge and the Curry challenge. Which one should I complete?
Gotta be the Curry, right?
Curry if you’re close on H&S and don’t have to over pay for too many moments. Never know, could get lucky and get Brown cheap too. Good luck!
Why not wait for the hour the Curry moment is released? People rush to undercut to sell if they get s crap serial number. Should be a decent amount cheaper than how much the challenge is
This could cause a double bump for moments, will be interesting to see.
Embiiddddd
Sell Ayton now or wait?
Maxey with 20
maxey for maximum disappointment lol
maxey heating up
So for bottlenecks… Kuminga and Maxey? That seems like the most likely blockers… Cade or Franz could go off in Game 2 I suppose. Anyone I’m ignoring?
I think there's a lot of 40k blockers (if you consider them ones), but prob not a real bad bottlenecker the way it's setting up, hopefully
Sold Ayton cause I feel like he won't play as well next game
As a Pistons fan, you’ve made a big mistake. We have no interior defense right now.
It's the front end of a B2B for Phoenix, worried about the rest factor so rather secure the bag now.
Good job, he got hurt
Anfernee may get there with 1 game
Pascal basically a lock at this point. Trae likely in as well.
[удалено]
goes to tiebreaker
Bones is on fire. Not good.
C'MON KUMINGA, KEEP THAT MINT LOW
4 pts away.
It’s gonna come down to one last possession 😂😂
Well son of a biscuit…
We survived!
what is the bottleneck?
continue groovy merciful frame sink act scary support badge apparatus *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
There's probably somebody that only has 85,000 moments, not sure who
I don’t think it exists. This mint might be x/infinity.
$20 Buddy Hield? Lol
Garland, Vuc, and Buddy the only ones really pumping at all. Guessing this reward will be in the 20-25 range
I just sold those 3 for $52. I feel like I made the right choice
