There isn't much news in Thursday's three-game WNBA slate, but it is important news. Kayla Thornton and Imani McGee-Stafford are both out for Dallas, and the remaining Wings forwards are all strong plays at Chicago. Natalie Achonwa is questionable with an ankle injury, and if she is out, Teaira McCowan becomes that much more safe and Candice Dupree becomes a cash play as well. As always, hit us up in the subscriber chat if you have any questions leading up to tip off.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Brittney Griner, F, PHO | $8,400 | $10,800 | Atlanta is last in fantasy points allowed to forwards, and Griner has at least 45 fantasy points in all three games since returning from her suspension. |
Courtney Vandersloot, G, CHI | $7,900 | $10,600 | Prior to struggling at Minnesota on Tuesday, Vandersloot had scored at least 40 fantasy points in three straight games. The only guard who can match that upside is DeWanna Bonner, but Vandersloot is cheaper and safer. |
Arike Ogunbowale, G, DAL | $7,600 | $10,100 | She is averaging 33.1 fantasy points against the Sky and 32.5 fantasy points over her last nine games. |
Diamond DeShields, G, CHI | $7,500 | $9,900 | DeShields has scored at least 30 fantasy points in five straight games, and she is averaging 30.1 fantasy points against Dallas. |
Isabelle Harrison, F, DAL | $7,000 | $7,200 | Harrison is averaging 31.6 fantasy points in two games agianst the Sky. She has at least 29.25 fantasy points in three of her last four games; the only exception was at Minnesota. |
Teaira McCowan, F, IND | $6,900 | $8,500 | |
Leilani Mitchell, G, PHO | $6,600 | $8,000 | Atlanta ranks eighth in fantasy points allowed to guards, and Leilani Mitchell is the only Mercury guard I trust to take advantage. Mitchell has scored at least 26 fantasy points in four of her last five games. |
Astou Ndour, F, CHI | $6,400 | $7,800 | Ndour has at least 33 fantasy points in three of her last four games, including at Minnesota Tuesday. She should be as safe as anyone in this slate. |
Allisha Gray, G, DAL | $6,100 | $8,300 | She has scored at least 28.5 fantasy points in three of her last four games. She is averaging 27.3 fantasy points in two games against the Sky this season. |
Glory Johnson, F, DAL | $6,100 | $7,400 | In the two games Kayla Thornton has missed this season, Glory Johnson has played at least 31 minutes and scored at least 32 fantasy points. No team has allowed more fantasy points to forwards than the Sky this season. |
Candice Dupree, F, IND | $5,600 | $6,500 | Dupree has played at least 29 minutes and scored at least 23 fantasy points in two straight games. If Natalie Achonwa cannot go, Dupree is a great cash play. |
Riquna Williams, G, LA | $5,500 | $7,700 | Williams has failed to top 22 fantasy points in just two of her last nine games, and she remains a nice value on FanDuel. |
Kennedy Burke, G, IND | $5,000 | $5,000 | |
Alaina Coates, F, ATL | $3,700 | $3,800 | |
Kristine Anigwe, F, DAL | $3,600 | $4,000 | Anigwe has played at least 17 minutes and scored at least 14.75 fantasy points in two straight games. At her price, she is virtually a must-play on FanDuel, especially with Kayla Thornton out. |
