WNBA DFS Picks: Jonquel Jones or Brittney Griner, July 30 (FREE)

A quick glance at these games and the WNBA DFS slate as a whole tells me that the DraftKings contest is aggressively sized. Also, there are some recency bias spots I think we can exploit. The other option is FanDuel has not adjusted pricing at all, while DraftKings has had wild swings with massive differences in some players from site to site.

Phoenix Mercury Guards

Sophie Cunningham started last game against Indiana and is only$3.6 on FanDuel and $4.5 on DraftKings. Cunningham will probably be heavily owned but she is going from one of the easier matchups in the league at home to a very difficult matchup at home. On DraftKings  in cash you play her and I would not completely fade on FanDuel, but this is not a slam dunk spot by any means. If you’re looking for a GPP pivot if Cunningham struggles it’s not insane to think that Yvonne Turner picks up some minutes. DeWanna Bonner is always in play but she is a much stronger DraftKings play than FanDuel. But as I said this is an awful matchup.

Phoenix Mercury Forwards

Brittney Griner has been a woman on a mission. That being said this is a tough matchup on the road against the Mystics. Camille Little might get extended run in this game if you are looking for a forward punt.

Washington Mystic Guards

Natasha Cloud is too cheap, though she has been struggling recently. I like her at home in this matchup. Ariel Atkins only got 11 minutes after missing the last game with tendonitis, so obviously there are injury worries there. That being said she is an interesting GPP play on DraftKings. Kristi Toliver is shooting the ball really well right now, and is in play on both sites. 

Washington Mystic Forwards

Elena Delle Donne is at home. She is probably the best player in the league; you should play her. The rest of the Mystics forwards are really just a grab bag as the minutes are so spread out. LaToya Sanders is in play on FanDuel as she is too cheap there. I also like Emma Meesseman on DraftKings as a play that could pop.

Connecticut Sun Guards

I love all the Sun in this home matchup vs Chicago. Courtney Williams is too cheap on both sites, but I love her on DraftKings. Jasmine Thomas has been playing out of her mind recently. Her price is up but I do not care. Shekinna Stricklen and Bria Holmes are both strong GPP plays, though I think Bria has passed Stricklen in the coach’s mind.

Connecticut Sun Forwards

Jonquel Jones is at home against Chicago. She to me is the number one stud on the slate. Alyssa Thomas is also a strong play. Heck play them together. 

Chicago Sky Guards

I do not think you need to play Chicago guards on FanDuel as the Sun guards are cheaper. On DraftKings Courtney VanderSloot could be interesting in a GPP with her triple double upside.

Chicago Sky Forwards

Yes Stefanie Dolson has played well in her last two games but she played Atlanta then Indiana, which is as easy as it gets. Now she is on the road in much more difficult spot. She is underpriced on FanDuel so you can play her there. She is probably the cash play, but she is a great GPP play. If you want to pivot, Jantel Lavender is the pivot. She is going to get lost with all the ownership going to Dolson.

Dallas Wings Guards

It’s hard to recommend a Dallas guard as the minutes are all over the place. Brooke McCarthy-Williams is cheap and got 20 minutes last game. She might be worth a shot. Similar thoughts on Kaela Davis.

Dallas Wings Forwards

Ahhh… Dallas Forward roulette! Who does the wheel of fortune fall on? Isabelle Harrison is too cheap on FanDuel. She has been down for a couple of games, but I like her potential there. Kayla Thorton is the most consistent, though she is priced at her ceiling.

Las Vegas Aces

Kelsey Plum is still too cheap on FanDuel in an easy matchup. She has put up average games at this price the last two nights and she won GPPs both nights. Jackie Young got 30 minutes last game and her price is down on DraftKings. I really like her here. Kayla McBride in GPPs. On FanDuel, specifically, Tamara Young and Sugar Rodgers can be used as salary savers.

Las Vegas Aces

Elizabeth Cambage at home versus Dallas with Aja Wilson out is a strong play (if you needed me to say that). Dearica Hamby, for some reason, is still priced at $5.2 on FanDuel. That is almost an impossible fade. I will be fading Hamby at $9.2 on DraftKings.

Cash Core: Plum Cambage Hamby (FD) Jones Cloud Cunningham J Young (DK) Dolson (FD) C Williams (DK)

GPP: Lavender, McBride, Harrison, Turner, Bonner, EDD A Thomas, J Thomas,
