It took an earthquake to do it, but my FanDuel GPP example lineup took down first place on Friday. As I mentioned on today's podcast, I accidentally entered my pivot instead of the main lineup, but I still finished in second place. Combine that with Jon Impemba's 10th place finish after he was on the pod, and we're having a pretty good week. We'll try to keep it going for Sunday's four-game slate. Much like Friday, there aren't a ton of value plays, especially on FanDuel. You may only be able to fit one stud forward in your lineup, but I think that is okay. There are plenty of mid-tier players who are playing quite well, and I like some of the more expensive guards as well.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Elena Delle Donne, F, WAS | $8,200 | $11,000 | |
Brittney Griner, F, PHO | $8,000 | $10,800 | |
Liz Cambage, F, LAV | $7,500 | $9,800 | |
Candace Parker, F, LA | $7,200 | $9,000 | |
Tiffany Hayes, G, ATL | $6,800 | $8,300 | |
Arike Ogunbowale, G, DAL | $6,200 | $8,700 | Ogunbowale is averaging 28.6 fantasy points on 20.2 field goal attempts per game over her last five games. The Sky are allowing 81.5 points per game this season, and Ogunbowale is the only Dallas player I trust to take advantage. |
Theresa Plaisance, F, DAL | $6,000 | $7,000 | |
Brittney Sykes, G, ATL | $5,600 | $6,800 | |
Dearica Hamby, F, LAV | $5,600 | $6,700 | Her ceiling isn't particularly high, but she had at least 23 fantasy points in five straight games prior to Friday's earthquake. She is cheaper than most of the mid-tier forwards on DraftKings, and I would argue she is safer as well. |
Jessica Breland, F, ATL | $5,400 | $7,300 | |
LaToya Sanders, F, WAS | $5,300 | $7,100 | Sanders scored 23.25 fantasy points in 18 minutes Friday and her price went down $300 on DraftKings. Prior to that game, she had played at least 26 minutes in three straight games. No team has allowed more fantasy points to opposing forwards than the Sparks, and Sanders had 23.8 fantasy points in 30.3 minutes against them last month. |
Tanisha Wright, G, NY | $4,600 | $5,400 | Wright has played 25 minutes in each of her last two games, and she is averaging 22.8 fantasy points over her last four games. |
Alex Bentley, G, ATL | $4,000 | $7,000 | |
Kalani Brown, F, LA | $3,800 | $4,400 | Brown has played at least 15 minutes in three straight games, and she has scored at least 17 fantasy points in two straight. You could argue she was the Sparks' best forward in both of those games. I'm concerned she will play fewer minutes if the Sparks' play everyone and this game stays close, but she is probably worth a shot at this price. |
