After a brief break, the WNBA is back with a four-game DFS slate on Wednesday night as you build WNBA DFS lineups. Two of those games tip off at 10:00 pm ET, and the first game tonight may already be completed by the time we know the starters for the late games. Some of the top WNBA picks for tonight include Rhyne Howard of the Atlanta Dream and Diamond Miller of the Minnesota Lynx. At the time of this writing, there is very little injury news for this slate, which would make any late-breaking news even more impactful for top WNBA daily fantasy picks. Be sure to check the starting lineups before each game and update your WNBA DFS lineups accordingly. Let's now look at the top WNBA DFS picks on DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday, July 5th.
WNBA DFS Picks July 5
| Guards | ||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Diamond Miller | MIN | IND | 8100 | 26.16 | 6300 | 27.23 |
| Miller has scored at least 32.5 fantasy points in three straight games since returning from an ankle injury in if this is just who she is now, she is still too cheap. She has at least 13 field goal attempts in all three games, and that usage should keep her floor reasonably high. | ||||||
| Kelsey Mitchell | IND | MIN | 7900 | 25.62 | 5900 | 24.05 |
| Minnesota has allowed the most three-point attempts in the league and the most fantasy points to opposing guards. Mitchell scored 30.5 fantasy points in her only game against Minnesota this season. | ||||||
| Rhyne Howard | ATL | LA | 9300 | 32.32 | 6800 | 31.25 |
| As a general rule, I don't like to use players coming off a career game, especially when the face the exact same team. That being said, Howard's price is unchanged after her 61 fantasy points on Sunday, and she has at least 33 fantasy points in five of her last seven games. The Sparks are 11th in fantasy points allowed to guards. | ||||||
| Betnijah Laney | NY | PHO | 7600 | 19.27 | 4600 | 18.47 |
| Laney will likely never be higher than the fourth offensive option in any Liberty Lineup, but she has still managed to score at least 22.75 fantasy points in four of her last five games. Phoenix is 10th in fantasy points allowed to guards, and Laney is quite cheap on FanDuel. | ||||||
| Kristy Wallace | IND | MIN | 5800 | 16.14 | 4500 | 15.70 |
| This is not the slate to go cheap on guards, especially on DraftKings. That being said, if you have to, Wallace is a decent bet. Minnesota has allowed the most fantasy points to guards and Wallace has scored at least 17.5 fantasy points in six of her last eight games. | ||||||
| Forwards | ||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Monique Billings | ATL | LA | 5100 | 12.79 | 4100 | 12.95 |
| It would probably take two injuries in Atlanta's frontcourt for Billings to get substantial playing time, but she is averaging 18.4 fantasy points in 17.4 minutes in her last four games. Her ceiling is limited, but nobody else in her price range is even that consistent. | ||||||
| Dearica Hamby | LA | ATL | 8200 | 23.21 | 5700 | 22.91 |
| Hamby has played at least 30 minutes and scored 30 fantasy points in two straight games with Chiney Ogwumike out. Hamby appears safer than the other forwards in her price range for as long as Chiney is out. It also helps that Atlanta is last in fantasy points allowed to forwards. | ||||||
| A'ja Wilson | LV | DAL | 11600 | 41.53 | 9100 | 42.41 |
| Wilson has scored at least 50 fantasy points in three of her last four games. She is too cheap on DraftKings, though I would feel better if I knew for sure that Natasha Howard would matchup with Candace Parker. | ||||||
| Breanna Stewart | NY | PHO | 13000 | 47.62 | 9500 | 47.66 |
| Phoenix is ninth in fantasy points allowed to forwards, and it probably isn't a coincidence Stewart's second-best game of the season was against Phoenix nearly three weeks ago. Stewart has come back down to earth again since then but with all of the forwards presenting some kind of risk, I would rather pay up for Stewart in a good matchup. | ||||||
| Emma Cannon | IND | MIN | 3000 | 6.36 | 3400 | 5.87 |
| Queen Egbo is gone, and we don't know yet if Amanda Zahui B. will join Indiana in time for this game. If she is inactive, Cannon will likely back up both post positions. With the lack of solid punt plays on the slate, this is a risk worth taking. | ||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Azura Stevens | LA | ATL | 7200 | 16.65 | 5200 | 17.29 |
| I don't want to overreact to two good games, especially if Stevens comes off the bench again Wednesday. That being said, Atlanta is last in fantasy points allowed to forwards, and Stevens has played at least 25 minutes and scored at least 24.75 fantasy points in two straight games. She's risky, but risk is unavoidable at her price point. | ||||||
| NaLyssa Smith | IND | MIN | 9100 | 30.86 | 6100 | 28.59 |
| If Amanda Zahui B. is unavailable for this game, Smith should be virtually guaranteed to play 30+ minutes. If that is the case, Smith is too cheap. | ||||||
