We have four games on Tuesday's slate, but I don't think it's overstating the case to say everything hinges on Candice Dupree's middle finger. She is listed as questionable, and if she is out, Natalie Achonwa and Tearia McCowan are near must-plays. Erica McCall would be a solid minimum-priced play as well. If Dupree does play, McCowan still probably has some upside at home against the Liberty, but her playing time would be in question. The rest of the slate is pretty straightforward. As we discussed on the podcast, Brittney Griner making her return at Las Vegas is probably the highlight of the slate. The next most important game, at least for the playoffs, is Minnesota at Los Angeles. Los Angeles can clinch a playoff berth with a win, but it won't be easy against Minnesota's tough defense.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Courtney Vandersloot, G, CHI | $7,800 | $10,400 | She has at least 30 fantasy points in nine straight games, including two against Atlanta. |
Sylvia Fowles, F, MIN | $7,700 | $9,500 | The Sparks are 11th in fantasy points allowed to forwards. Sylvia Fowles had 44.3 fantasy points in her only game against them this season. |
Odyssey Sims, G, MIN | $7,600 | $8,400 | I don't know why she is still so cheap on DraftKings. Sims has at least 34 fantasy points in four of her last five games. She had 31 fantasy points on 3-12 shooting in her only game against her former team this season. |
Tina Charles, F, NY | $7,500 | $9,900 | Tina Charles is averaging 37.4 fantasy points in two games against Indiana. She has at least 36 fantasy points in five of her last six. |
Jessica Breland, F, ATL | $7,300 | $8,600 | Breland has been great against her former team, averaging 35.8 fantasy points through two games. The Sky rank 11th in fantasy points allowed to forwards. |
Diamond DeShields, G, CHI | $7,100 | $9,600 | Diamond DeShields has topped 36 fantasy points twice in her last nine games, and they were both against Atlanta. |
Erica Wheeler, G, IND | $7,000 | $8,500 | No team has allowed more fantasy points to opposing guards than the Liberty. Erica Wheeler has at least 30 fantasy points in four of her last eight games. |
Brittney Sykes, G, ATL | $6,900 | $7,100 | She is too cheap on DraftKings, and she had 29 points in 34 minutes against the Sky last month. Chicago ranks 10th in fantasy points allowed to guards. |
Stefanie Dolson, F, CHI | $5,800 | $8,200 | Dolson played just 11 minutes Sunday thanks to what the Sky considered some questionable foul calls, but she had at least 25 fantasy points in seven of her last eight games before that. She has at least 29.75 fantasy points in both games against the Dream this season. |
Cheyenne Parker, F, CHI | $5,800 | $7,700 | Parker has scored at least 31.75 fantasy points in two of her last three games. No team has allowed more fantasy points to forwards than Atlanta. |
Marie Gulich, F, ATL | $5,700 | $5,700 | On Sunday's podcast, I mentioned Marie Gulich as a bench player who would likely benefit from sustained playing time. With Elizabeth Williams out and Jessica Breland questionable, Gulich is getting her shot. She had 39.5 fantasy points in 28 minutes a week ago, and I love that kind of ceiling at her price. |
Kia Nurse, G, NY | $5,300 | $7,000 | Kia Nurse has played at least 33 minutes in three straight games, averaging 22.2 fantasy points. The Fever are 11th in fantasy points allowed to guards. |
Astou Ndour, F, CHI | $5,000 | $4,700 | Her price went down on DraftKings after she managed just 17 fantasy points Sunday, but she did play 24 minutes for the third straight game. She's averaging 23.6 fantasy points ove rher last three games, and I'd be fine with that at her price. |
Alaina Coates, F, ATL | $3,200 | $3,200 | She is something of a must-play if Jessica Breland sits, but she is a worthy punt play just knowing Elizabeth Williams is out. |
