All season long, our WNBA DFS slates have been dominated by injuries. That is not the case Tuesday. With most everyone at full strength, value plays are a lot harder to come by. In cash games, I think you pretty much have to use a bunch of mid-priced players with just one or two studs. In a GPP, you can take a chance on a punt or two, but you should know there is a chance they don’t do much of anything.
As always, the lineups below are examples of lineups you can make using the players in the Playbook and are not for plug and play.
GUARDS
Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
Jazmine Jones | NY | SEA | 6500 | 18.75 | 5000 | 18.66 | |
Jones has at least 21 fantasy points in three straight games despite shooting 34.8 percent over her last two games. This is a tough matchup, but her price is modest, and someone has to score for the Liberty. | |||||||
Courtney Vandersloot | CHI | LV | 9400 | 30.61 | 6700 | 29.76 | |
Vandersloot is expensive for someone who hasn't scored 40 fantasy points in a single game this season. That being said, she had 32 fantasy points in just 24 minutes Sunday, and assuming this game is close, she could have a higher ceiling than what she has shown so far. | |||||||
DeWanna Bonner | CON | IND | 10600 | 38.41 | 8200 | 39.15 | |
Bonner is shooting 36.6 percent over her last six games, but she is averaging 33.7 fantasy points in that span. If she ever starts making shots again, she could go back to having huge fantasy games. | |||||||
Tiffany Mitchell | IND | CON | 7600 | 25.05 | 5300 | 24.35 | |
Young has at least 22 fantasy points in five straight games, and Chicago's perimeter defense is not scary. | |||||||
Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
Layshia Clarendon | NY | SEA | 8500 | 24.45 | 5600 | 23.01 | |
Clarendon struggled against Minnesota, but she wasn't the only one. She was great against Seattle in the first game of the season, and she needs to be heavily involved if New York is going to keep this game close. | |||||||
Jasmine Thomas | CON | IND | 8000 | 23.68 | 6600 | 23.42 | |
Thomas scored 17 points Sunday against Seattle but she didn't have a single rebound or assist. Indiana is a much better match-up, and I expect Thomas to have a more well-rounded game Tuesday. | |||||||
Sydney Colson | CHI | LV | 3400 | 4.79 | 3300 | 4.76 | |
If you're going to go for a cheap play Tuesday, you're going to have to take some chances. Colson played 16 minutes and had 21.25 fantasy points Sunday after scoring 12.25 fantasy points total over her previous six games. She is worth a shot against her former team, but I'm not exactly expecting a repeat of Sunday. |
FORWARDS
Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
Natasha Howard | SEA | NY | 6600 | 17.39 | 4700 | 18.04 | |
I was not expecting Howard's price to drop coming off her best game of the season. All of the reasons we liked her on Sunday are still valid, except now we have actually seen her flash the upside she showed in 2018 and 2019. I wish she would play more than 22 minutes, but she has been a solid cash play for a while now and the Liberty are 10th in fantasy points allowed to forwards. | |||||||
A'ja Wilson | LV | CHI | 11000 | 38.48 | 7700 | 39.30 | |
No team has allowed more fantasy points to forwards than the Sky this season. I think Wilson is a better fantasy play than Breanna Stewart. | |||||||
Dearica Hamby | LV | CHI | 7500 | 26.85 | 6000 | 26.56 | |
Hamby finally had a bad game against Minnesota, but she bounced back with 28.5 fantasy points against Washington and her price still dropped $700 on DraftKings. She is too cheap on that site, but she is a safe cash play on FanDuel as well. | |||||||
Alysha Clark | SEA | NY | 8600 | 24.02 | 6400 | 24.56 | |
Like Dearica Hamby, Clark finally faltered over the weekend after a super-consistent start. Like Hamby, I expect Clark to bounce back. I think I would rather play Hamby, but I'm using them both in cash. | |||||||
Brionna Jones | CON | IND | 7800 | 23.7 | 5800 | 24.20 | |
Jones hasn't been quite as consistent as Hamby and Clark, but its close. She has at least 19 fantasy points in eight consecutive games. | |||||||
Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
Ezi Magbegor | SEA | NY | 5900 | 13.16 | 4400 | 13.98 | |
If you need a cheaper forward, Magbegor is your best bet. She is averaging 17.2 fantasy points over her last four games, and she could get extra minutes if this game is a blowout. |
