Before we get into Sunday's five-game WNBA DFS slate, I want to thank Jon Impemba for covering the WNBA DFS Playbook on Friday. Also, thank you to Howard Bender and Justin Vreeland for helping out with Friday's MLB coverage, which allowed Jon to do a great job on the playbook. Sunday's slate is surprisingly tough despite 10 teams playing. Value plays are hard to come by, especially on FanDuel. There are a lot of injuries to keep an eye on, most notably Kristi Toliver's potential return as well as Jordin Canada's shoulder injury. Canada is worth a shot if she plays, but Jewell Loyd and Sami Whitcomb would be awfully strong GPP plays if she is out.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Liz Cambage, F, LV | $8,400 | $11,300 | Cambage has at least 38.9 fantasy points in three straight games. She has at least 38.3 fantasy points in both games against Chicago this season. |
Elena Delle Donne, F, WAS | $8,200 | $10,600 | Delle Donne has struggled the last two games, but he is averaging 47.1 fantasy points in two games against Indiana. |
DeWanna Bonner, G, PHO | $8,000 | $10,800 | Bonner has been inconsistent with Brittney Griner out, scoring 26.25 fantasy points agianst Connecticut and 54.0 against Atlanta. The Liberty are allowing the most points in the WNBA this season. |
Courtney Vandersloot, G, CHI | $7,800 | $10,500 | Slooty has scored at least 33 fantasy points in six straight games, including 39.2 fantasy points against the Aces last week. |
Tina Charles, F, NY | $7,500 | $9,800 | Charles had 47.5 fantasy points in her only game against Phoenix this season, and the Mercury have struggled on the boards with Brittney Griner off the court. |
Leilani Mitchell, G, PHO | $7,300 | $9,700 | Mitchell has actually taken fewer shots with Brittney Griner out, which is not what I expected. That being said, no team has allowed more fantasy points to guards than New York. |
Courtney Williams, G, CON | $7,100 | $8,600 | Williams has at least 29.5 fantasy points in three straight games, and at least 25 fantasy points in seven of her last eight. |
Aerial Powers, F, WAS | $6,000 | $7,400 | In three games with Kristi Toliver out, Aerial Powers is averaging 25.1 fantasy points. This matchup against Indiana is far better than those games against Minnesota and Seattle. Powers is a cash play if Kristi Toliver is out again. |
Jackie Young, G, LV | $5,900 | $6,700 | Young has played 30+ minutes in each of her last two games. She has topped 30 fantasy points in two of her last four. |
Natasha Cloud, G, WAS | $5,400 | $7,100 | Indiana is 10th in the WNBA in fantasy points allowed to opposing guards. Cloud is averaging 24.1 fantasy points in 36.1 minutes against Indiana this season. She is a cash play, especially if Kristi Toliver is out again. |
Brianna Turner | $5,400 | $6,500 | Turner has played at least 29 minutes in three straight games and has scored at least 20 fantasy points in four straight. |
Kia Nurse, G, NY | $5,300 | $6,800 | |
Jewell Loyd, G, SEA | $5,300 | $5,800 | |
Camille Little | $5,200 | $4,900 | At least 23 minutes and 17.5 fantasy points in two games with Griner out. The Liberty rank 9th in fantasy points allowed to forwards. |
Astou Ndour, F, CHI | $5,000 | $5,500 | Sky head coach James Wade has been inconsistent with his frontcourt minutes all season, so I'm hesitant to trust Astou Ndour too much. That being said, she is cheaper than Gabby Williams and Cheyenne Parker, and she has at least 24 minutes and 24 fantasy points in each of her last two games. I'll feel somewhat better about playing her if she starts again. |
Brooke McCarty-Williams, G, DAL | $3,400 | $3,500 | McCarty-Williams played 22 minutes and had 16.8 fantasy points Friday. She has a chance to play similar minutes Sunday with Kaela Davis out, which makes her a strong punt play. |
