Tonight we have a great WNBA game as the Washington Mystic visit the Seattle Storm. While this should be a good game, from a DFS perspective, it is less than ideal. Everyone for both teams is healthy which just leaves a jumbled mess for two of the better teams in the league. Not a member?

Washington Mystics Guards
Kristi Tolliver is always the best Mystic play, however she is over-priced on FanDuel in comparison to other plays. On DraftKings with the three point bonus she is a strong play. Natasha Cloud keeps disapointing that has kept her price low, Seattle does turn the ball over so that should increase the steal upside. Ariel Atkins has seen a serious minutes reduction of late, so she is probably a fade here.
Washington Mystics Forwards
Aerial Powers is the reason for the Atkins minutes reduction as hers have increased. I would like to fade her but the Mystics probably lean on her in a close game on the road. Elena Delle Donne, its a one game slate and she is the best player in the league. She is heavy favorite to be the highest scoring player on this slate. Emma Meesseman she is a strong Showdown play has not done much recently but she is a player with high upside. LaToya Sanders is a better play on FanDuel with block and Steal upside and she will start.
Seattle Storm Guards
The slate probably hinges on what you do with Jewel Lloyd who saw her minutes increase post injury to 20 minutes. She is way under priced on both slates, and if we get news she is starting you have to play her. Jordin Canada is an interesting GPP play, due to the fact I suspect people are going to load up on Lloyd and not play another Storm guard so I like Canada in GPPs. If Sami Whitcomb were to get the start she would be intriguing, but only if she starts.
Seattle Storm Forwards
Natasha Howard is at home but she has just been scoring in difficult matchups all year, obviously I like EDD over her. But on a site like FanDuel where it is hard to play both, playing Howaard over EDD is an interesting gambit. Alysha Clark and Mercedes Russell are both in play on FanDuel take the discount to Russell, but both are strong plays.
