We had a hard time finding cheap WNBA DFS plays Tuesday, but that should be easier Thursday. With Tiffany Mitchell out and Cheyenne Parker questionable, we could get a lot of mileage playing their replacements. Be sure to keep an eye on Parker’s status as well as whoever starts for Indiana.

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
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Kennedy BurkeINDSEA450010.3236009.95
With Tiffany Mitchell and Stephanie Mavunga ruled out Thursday, Burke has a chance to start and play a ton of minutes. Burke is averaging 0.68 fantasy points per minute this season, so she may not have a huge ceiling, but she could have a high floor. If someone else starts in Mitchell's spot, I wouuld likely plug in that player for DFS.
Julie AllemandINDSEA820024.2570023.83
Allemand is averaging 32.4 MPG this season but just 5.1 FGA this season. Regardless of who starts for Tiffany Mitchell, I think Allemand is going to have to be more aggressive looking for her own shot. I think I prefer her for tournaments but she is a cash play as well.
Jackie YoungLVCON740018.23540017.54
Young's streak of games with 20+ fantasy points came to an end Tuesday, but only because she went 1-10 from the field. I don't expect that to happen again, though we have to admit she is at least a bit risky.
DeWanna BonnerCONLV1080038.88780039.48
Bonner has been a bit up-and-down this season, but it's been mostly up lately. Bonner has at least 39 fantasy points in four of her last five games, and the lone exception was against Seattle.
Allie QuigleyCHINY800023.69560022.91
Quigley has been arguably the most consistent guard in the league this season. Her ceiling may not be has high as Allemand's, but I think her floor is higher.
        
Forwards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Azura StevensCHINY950025.71600026.88
Stevens scored 35.25 fantasy points in 30 minutes with Cheyenne Parker out Tuesday. If Parker is out again, Stevens is a nice value on FanDuel.
Ruthy HebardCHINY47008.1537007.91
Hebard played a career-high 33 minutes Tuesday with Cheyenne Parker out. She only managed 11.5 fantasy points, but she has an easier matchup Tuesday against the New York Liberty. Hebard is averaging 0.73 fantasy points per minute this season, so if she plays 30+ minutes again and manages 20+ fantasy points, I think we will be quite happy considering her price.
Stefanie DolsonCHINY730021.1600020.92
Dolson is strictly a cash play, but unlike her teammates listed above, Dolson is playable whether or not Cheyenne Parker is available. Dolson has scored at least 21.5 fantasy points in four of her five games since returning from an ankle injury, and New York is 10th in fantasy points allowed to forwards.
Brionna JonesCONLV880024.5580025.13
No team has allowed as many fantasy points to opposing forwards as the Aces. Jones has at least 27.75 fantasy points in three straight games.
Natasha HowardSEAIND790018.58600019.09
Howard is averaging 1.91 fantasy points per minute in her last two games, and that cannot possibly last much longer. She might play more minutes if Seattle is ever in a close game, but we probably cannot count on that. That being said, Indiana is 10th in points allowed and Howard is averaging 25.6 fppg in her last five games. I think she is a cash play, especially with Alysha Clark struggling a bit.
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Dearica HambyLVCON810026.61600026.37
Hamby has scored at least 22 fantasy points in eight of her last 10 games. With Alysha Clark faltering a bit, Hamby is the best cash play of the slate.
A'ja WilsonLVCON1100038.34820039.51
Wilson has shot worse than 31 percent from the field in three of her last four games. That is starting to get a bit worrisome, but it is encouraging that she scored 30+ fantasy points in each of those games. If she turns her shooting around, she could easily score 40+ fantasy points Thursday.
Alyssa ThomasCONLV1060035.67700035.16
Much like DeWanna Bonner, Alyssa Thomas has been great of late outside of a rough game against Seattle. Thomas has at least 32 fantasy points in four of her last five games.
