WNBA DFS Degenerate: June 6 (FREE)

This article is from our newest contributor, WNBA DFS expert Seth Stinehour aka Seth1374 aka EMac’s biggest fan. Really excited to have him writing for our site!

We have a very nice three game WNBA DFS slate tonight, and just a heads up: I write these articles the night before so occasionally news breaks, or I start to build lineups and I like some other plays more. If that occurs I’ll write a blurb or two in Awesemo premium Slack, so make sure to check there for updates.

Las Vegas vs. Atlanta

Both teams are off to disappointing starts, though Atlanta’s is worst because they have looked bad thus far. Nobody on Atlanta can shoot right now. Going into the year they were expected to be offensive challenged but this has been worse then anticipated. Even though they’ve been awful, they’re still priced up. Elizabeth Williams has not broken 25 minutes in the last two games. You can argue that’s because of blow outs or you could argue it’s because she has been awful. On FanDuel at $6200 she is in play in GPP I have no interest on DK. Breland is in play for the block upside in GPPs I like her better on FD than DK. Tiffany Hayes is way too cheap on both sites, yes she has been awful but you attack Vegas with guards she should be their best scorer. Bentley on FD is way too cheap for the money and upside, she is almost a cash play there. Sykes is okay, but I like Hayes better so I have no interest in Sykes. If recency bias takes hold hopefully Hayes will be lower owned.

Kelsey Plum has hurt we in ways no man should hurt, first she dates D’Angelo Russell and then she puts out a three fantasy point performance after I touted to all my friends here and EMac. She got benched last game for Tamara Young and is on a short lease. I still like her in GPPs she has shot horrible her shot will fall eventually.  The only other two Vegas players I have interest in are Wilson yes there are home road splits I don’t care she is too cheap, and I think she goes under owned. McBride is okay in a GPP but if I get up to her I think you should go all the way up to Bonner.

Connecticut vs. Los Angeles

This game features a lot of recency bias candidates. We have Shenna Stricken coming off her completely flukey 30 fantasy point performance now priced over 5k. I want nothing to do with her on this slate not in cash and not in GPPs. Jonquel Jones probably profiles as the highest scorer on the slate, I love Alyssa Thomas at her reduced price on FD. Courtney Williams and Jasmine Thomas are tough to get to on FD but very playable on DK.  I would have at least one of the core four Sun in every line you made and would object to two. I actually like Sun to smash the Sparks here.

Chiney and Nneka have been smashing without Candace Parker, Nneka would have smashed against the Liberty but shot awful. I worry about Chiney in her return game, would not be surprised if she gets booed. I like Chiney as a fade, Chelsea Gray exploded last game against the Liberty on FD they have not adjusted her price. She is a strong cash play there. Chelsea is priced up at 9K on DK, I kinda of like a Gray fade she is going to be popular after last game and I don’t love the spot and will probably go with the Hayes pivot. Tiffany Ruffin Pratt got the start last game and put up 30 fantasy points. That’s probably her ceiling, but she is way too cheap on FD, but is still cash viable. Weise is still cheap, so you can play her, she will play 25 minutes and could struggle for 15 fantasy points. I also love Kalani Brown in GPPs especially on DK they will need her size in this game if she stays out of foul trouble she could get to 20 minutes.

Phoenix vs. Minnesota 

Okay, I’m a believer in Collier now. She is getting 30 minutes and usage. It’s gotten to the point where her usage combined with Dantas has reduced Fowles out put. Collier is way too cheap on FD, I would just eat the chalk there. Fowles is going to be under owned but I will play her hoping for the break out soon. I have no interest in Dantas. She’ll return to her usual role player status soon. I worry about the Minnesota guards Sims and Robinson just not having the upside for GPPs because the front court is stealing all the usage.

There was a signing that went under the radar this week in Phoenix, as the Mercury signed point guard Lelani Mitchell. I expect her to come in and play 10-20 minutes and at near the bare min that makes for some solid value (this is a FD play only because she’s not in the DK player pool). I expect the return of Mitchell to lead to a reduction in Turner and Carson minutes, but I still like them, though, I prefer Turner on FD as compared to DK. Bonner will be the highest scoring guard on this slate and is easily the number one play on the slate. She had a floor game last time out and broke 40. Griner has a tough matchup, but I will have some because  she will be low owned cause everyone plays Bonner.

Cash Core: Pratt (FD), Bonner, Collier, Bentley (FD),

Studs ranked: Bonner>Jones>Wilson>Fowles>Griner>NNeka

Favorite GPP plays:  A Thomas, T Hayes, L Mitchell (FD) K Brown (DK)

Value plays: K Brown, Pratt, Bentley (FD), L Mitchell (FD) Clarendon (DK) Weise
