4th Quarter In Game Showdown Notes
Make sure to read our Nba FORMULA article to completely understand the In Game Showdown process. Below is our 4Q top plays based on last 3 game’’s usage and minutes on the court during the 4th quarter. Follow the Symbol Key Below and track the minutes of the players played in the 2nd quarter as it is a preliminary possible rotation to the way the 4th quarter’s rotation plays out we will update each player’s 2nd Q minutes next to each players name below after 2nd Quarter ends.
4th Quarter Player Pool Symbol Key 🔑 (Based on Usage and Price)
- ⭐️-Means a must play that night, played close to the entire 4th quarter or had very high usage quarter making them a top Captain Option.
- ➕-Means they played quality with quality usage but did not play the entire quarter, making them a must flex play.
- ✅-Means fair game, not great not bad, mediocre minutes played and ok to play in the flex
- ❎-Means fade for that night as they played terrible or got very few minutes in the 4th quarter making them a fade for the 4th quarter.
- 🤕-Means injured or did not play that game.
- #-Number next to symbols is updated as game goes on and is the amount of minutes played that 2nd Quarter.
- Watch the Play by Play on espn.com for subbing-Study who normally gets good run and usage in 2nd quarter then follow the sub ins and outs in the third quarter. Typically early sub outs make good plays along with late sub ins for bench guys. Some bench guys always close game out along with certain stars play entire 4th quarter.
- Blow out Strategy-In a 20-25 point game blow out, only play players that will defiantly start the 4th quarter wether its starters that sub out early or bench guys that come in late. Also loosing teams typically go small making the center a risky play. If its 30 plus points go with young guys that haven’t seen the court yet along with young guys that check in latest in the 3rd quarter. Salary is irrelevant on blow out games. Stay tuned on top of article as we will post top blow out plays if we have enough time before lock.

Warriors Top 4q In Game Showdown Plays (Based on Last Playoff Game)

- Wiggins––➕7
- Draymont—–✅7
- Klay———✅9
- Poole—–——➕12
- Looney——❎0
- Porter——➕6
- Bjelica—-✅6
- G.. Payton-✅4
Warriors notes-WCurry may be a fade if he comes off bench again as he was only getting 6min spurts per quarter. We need to really keep an eye on Steph rotation to get a feel if you want to play poole and fade Steph or not. Wiggins and Porter look safe as GS went small. Looney looks like a fade.
Nuggets Top 4q In Game Showdown Plays
- Joker-➕6
- Gordon-❎6
- Morris-➕11
- Rivers-➕3
- Barton-⭐️10
- Forbes-✅6
- Ja. Green-❎6
- Cousins-✅6
- Je. Green-❎5
- Hyland–❎0
Nuggets Notes-Joker is a must play. Not a must Captain as he does come off the bench in the fourth Quarter. He got extra run as Cousins was ejected early/. Austin Rivers is low usage but played the entire 4th. W. Barton looks like a must play and possible capt. Gordon was benched due to blow out. He usually get about 7 min. Forbes I believe got extra run due to blow out.
