So today we have a three game WNBA slate with a ton of question marks when it comes to playing time. There is also very little value on this slate.

Atlanta Dream Guards
Tiffany Hayes’ price is reduced on FanDuel and DraftKings and I like her a bunch here. This is a nice up tempo matchup for Atlanta. The rest of the guards are really a whoever gets hot play and whoever the coach will give the minutes to. I like Renee Montgomery a lot here. She is far from safe as if she is not hitting her shot there could be issues. Alex Bentley if you need a pivot off Monty. Both are very inexpensive on FanDuel and I prefer them there.
Atlanta Dream Forwards
Honestly, I have no earthly idea how the minutes will go. Monique Billings came out of nowhere and got 30 minutes last game, whereas Jessica Breland barely played. Billings is so cheap that it will come to a debate between rostering her or Imani Stafford for Dallas.
Chicago Sky Forwards
Nobody ever plays, Jantel Lavender (though I think that finally changes on this slate). She is not priced up to what she has been producing. Playing bigs against Atlanta has been a stable force for fantasy points.
Chicago Sky Guards
I do not love their guards here as I am afraid Atlanta might slow down this game a lot. If I were to take any it would probably be Courtney Vandersloot, just because she will be low owned based on her upside. If playing cash I would prefer Diamond DeShields, who is a strong play at home.
Phoenix Mercury
This game will probably have the lowest over under on the slate. Diana Taurasi is going to be back for this game, which hurts all the guards. DeWanna Bonner is still a strong play as no one on Dallas will be able to stop her.
Phoenix Mercury
If Brittany Griner comes to play there is no one on Dallas that can slow her down. I am not worried about Taurasi reducing her usage. She can have the Dallas front court for breakfast but as always with Griner sometimes she just mails it in.
Dallas Wing Guards
Alicia Gray’s price is down, especially on FanDuel where I am very interested, as you attack Phoenix with guards. Kaela Davis has gotten 20 minutes for three games in a row now. I do not mind her as a value play.
Dallas Wings Forwards
Imani Stafford started last game but only played 16 minutes, still managing to make value. Assuming she starts again she is a strong play. Isabelle Harrison came back from concussion and got 30 minutes. The matchup isn’t great but it’s a three game slate.Â
Seattle Storm Guards
I am not big on playing teams on the road against Minnesota. Sami Whitcombe keeps smashing and in theory you attack Minnesota with guards, so she is fine.
Seattle Storm Forwards
Bigs against Seattle is never easy. That being said Mercedes Russell and Alysha Clark are too cheap. Both dealt with massive foul trouble last game, and they will be needed against Minnesota size. Normally I would say avoid Natasha Howard here but this is a revenge game for her, and I don’t think she is scared of Fowles.
Minnesota Lynx Guards
Stephanie Talbot got minutes last game and broke the slate. She is cheap for the minutes she gets so I like her here, though I think it is far from a lock button play. Danielle Robinson is priced right where she should be and I like her. I hate paying up for Odyssey Sims but she is at home in a fairly easy matchup.
Minnesota Lynx Forwards
Sylvia Fowles is right with Griner as the number one play on the slate at home versus Seattle. Nephressa Collier is in a smash spot here. I like her a ton in this one and love her in cash. If you are looking for a low owned value play Temi Fegbale came back from Europe on Sunday and play 20 minutes.
