We return from the All-Star break with a three-game slate, and all three games should feature heavy home favorites. When every game has blowout potential, I tend not to worry about it quite so much. As I stated on the FantasyAlarm WNBA DFS Podcast, I thought the Sky/Sun game had the best chance of staying close, but I no longer believe that is the case. The Sky endured 12 hours of travel and didn't get to bed until 5:00 a.m., as has been well-documented on Twitter and Instagram. I would be shocked if the Sky came out physically and mentally prepared for this game. I could see still using one or two of them in a GPP, but I'm going to try to avoid them if I can.
The highlight of the slate is Liz Cambage facing her former team for the second time this season. Cambage was great in the first game against Dallas and both she and Dearica Hamby have been great with A'ja Wilson out. Fade those two at your own risk.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Liz Cambage, F, LAV | $8,300 | $10,900 | |
Jonquel Jones, F, CON | $8,200 | $10,700 | Only the Dream and Mystics have allowed more second chance points than the Sky this season. Only Teaira McCowan and Sylvia Fowles are averaging more second chance points than Jonquel Jones. |
Dearica Hamby, F, LAV | $5,200 | $9,400 | In two games with A'ja Wilson out, Dearica Hamby scored 27.25 fantasy points against Minnesota and 49.25 fantasy points against Seattle. This matchup should be much easier than those two. Hamby is stupid cheap on FanDuel, but I'm probably playing her on DraftKings as well, at least for cash. |
Jasmine Thomas, G, CON | $6,200 | $9,300 | Thomas has scored at least 26.75 fantasy points in six straight games. The Sky rank 11th in the WNBA in fantasy points allowed to guards this season. |
Arike Ogunbowale, G, DAL | $6,100 | $8,500 | Ogunbowale had 30.0 fantasy points against the Aces despite shooting 9-26 from the field. |
Kayla McBride, G, LAV | $6,800 | $8,400 | |
Courtney Williams, G, CON | $6,100 | $7,800 | Williams is a cash play, especially on DraftKings. Williams has scored at least 17 fantasy points in 10 straight games. |
Emma Meesseman, F, WAS | $6,700 | $7,600 | Meesseman is averaging 23.1 fppg off the bench this season. Her ceiling is limited, but she is a cash play, especially on DraftKings. |
Theresa Plaisance, F, DAL | $4,500 | $6,100 | |
Shekinna Stricklen, G, CON | $4,500 | $5,800 | The Sky are allowing 85.1 points per game on the road this season. Stricklen is the cheapest Connecticut player who we know will actually get minutes. |
Camille Little, F, PHO | $4,000 | $5,000 | Little has played at least 16 minutes in three straight games, averaging 18.8 fantasy points over that span. |
Sophie Cunningham, G, PHO | $3,600 | $4,500 | Cunningham started last week and had 21 fantasy points in 23 minutes. She is a punt play if she starts again. |
Brianna Turner, F, PHO | $4,000 | $3,500 | Turner is averaging 12.0 minutes and 9.7 fantasy points over her last two games. |
