You could argue this is the most interesting WNBA DFS slate of the young season. Indiana finally gets a good matchup after struggling against two of the better teams in the league. The Dallas Wings and Chicago Sky will look to prove they belong in the discussion of top teams in the league after they both got off to strong starts. The Minnesota Lynx have looked terrible in all three games, but at least they have managed to do it in different ways, blowing the biggest lead in WNBA history against the Atlanta Dream and then making Phoenix Mercury look like the best defense in the league. They face a Las Vegas Aces team on a rare back-to-back, which could keep that game closer than we might otherwise expect. Let’s take a look at today’s WNBA DFS action on DraftKings and FanDuel and starting constructing our WNBA DFS lineups.

 
Guards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Lindsay AllenMINLV590016.38###14.10
Allen's usage is probably never going to be very high, but she is too cheap on FanDuel for a starting point guard in this league. If this is the game when she finally knocks down a few shots, she could easily outperform her price.
Chelsea GrayLVMIN940029.5###31.20
I might try to pay up for one of her backcourt mates if I have some extra salary to spend, but Gray averaged the more fantasy points against Minnesota than Jackie Young or Kelsey Plum last season and she is the cheapest of the three guards. This is a great matchup for the entire Aces squad; we just have to hope we play the right one(s).
Marina MabreyCHIDAL750023.88###13.80
I didn't really want so many Sky players on this list but Mabrey is simply too cheap on DraftKings. She was great Friday against Washington despite playing just 26 minutes and not hitting her threes. She probably needs to play 30+ minutes due to all of Chicago's injuries, and Dallas gives up a ton of threes. It also probably doesn't hurt that this is a revenge game.
Dana EvansCHIDAL550015.67###13.65
Evans played 15 minutes in the second half Friday and even if she doesn't start, she has a good chance to play 30 minutes as Chicago is down to a 4-woman guard rotation for three positions. Dallas has allowed the most three-point attempts and assists in the league this season, and that plays into Evans's skillset. Evans is second on the Sky in assists and three-point attempts per minute.
Rhyne HowardATLIND####35.25###34.90
Howard averaged 37.8 fantasy points against Indiana last season, more than any other opponent. She was shockingly quiet at Minnesota last week but I expect her to show out in her first home game of the season.

Crystal DangerfieldDALCHI510017.75###8.80
This offense is always going to revolve around Dallas's big three but Dangerfield got the start Friday and scored 26.5 fantasy points in 37 minutes. This is another good matchup and I see no reason not to expect a similar performance so long as Teaira McCowan is out.
Courtney WilliamsCHIDAL850028###24.55
Williams and Kahleah Copper are both too cheap on FanDuel, but I'm going with Williams here because I think she'll have the better matchup, especially if Tearia McCowan plays. That being said, Copper probably does have more upside.
Forwards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Alanna SmithCHIDAL700014.42###23.95
Smith is averaging 0.98 fantasy points per minute this season, and with Rebekah Gardner and Morgan Bertsch out, it is hard to imagine Smith playing fewer than 25 minutes, barring foul trouble. 
Nikolina MilicMINLV45006.33###3.60
Milic is averaging 0.81 fantasy points per minute after averaging 0.94 fppm as a rookie last season. She played a season-high 13 minutes Thursday and if she can match that against a tired Aces team, she should return value. This is obviously risky, though.
Aliyah BostonINDATL890029.88###31.55
You can pivot to Cheyenne Parker or Napheesa Collier or NaLyssa Smith, depending on your site or choice and how much you have to spend, but Boston is the safest of those four and she is comparably priced. She finally gets a good matchup after two rough ones, and I think she has a chance to play 30+ minutes for the first time in her career as well. 
Satou SaballyDALCHI####41.88###47.90
I will feel better about this call if Tearia McCowan is out. Then again, if McCowan plays, that would move Sabally to the three, where she could beat up on one of Chicago's guards. All the top forwards in this slate have warts but Sabally is cheap enough that I'll probably roll with her either way.
A'ja WilsonLVMIN####41###34.10
You could argue the Aces' last two games against the Sparks prove Wilson is matchup-proof. On Thursday the Sparks surprisingly kept the game close, allowing Wilson to score 42.75 fantasy points in 32 minutes despite shooting an awful 4-12 from the floor. She played just 24 minutes last night in a blowout but she still managed a season-high 45 fantasy points. If this game isn't close, I think we just have to hope Wilson is the reason why.
