The Mystics sit seventh in the standings, only 1.0 games ahead of the Sky, but they went 4-0 against the Sky during the season and will maintain their position even in the case of a loss. On the other side, the Liberty sit only 1.0 games behind the first-place Aces and own the tiebreaker - meaning, if the Liberty can earn the win, and the Aces lose, then the Liberty will overtake the first spot in the standings.
Brittney Sykes, Elena Delle Donne and Natasha Cloud each reached the 20-point mark within the last two games and lead the Mystics in scoring. Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, Myisha Hines-Allen and Li Meng have also been providing good value. Meanwhile, the Liberty are led by Breanna Stewart, who has hit the 40-point mark four times this season. Sabrina Ionescu, Betnijah Laney and Courtney Vandersloot also fill up the stat sheet with regular dominance.

The Mercury are firmly out of playoff contention, sitting last place in the standings. Meanwhile, the Aces need to come up with a win in order to secure their spot atop the standings. In the case of a loss, they are at risk of falling to second, if the Liberty pull off a win.
Brittney Griner, Moriah Jefferson, Megan Gustafson and Sug Sutton have each delivered multiple double-digit scoring efforts within the last five games for the Mercury. On the other side, the Aces continue to benefit from the dominance of A'ja Wilson, who totaled 30 points in each of the last two games. Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray and Alysha Clark are also playing well lately.

WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
Both sides are eliminated from playoff contention, and as a result, it is fair to expect some different rotations from either lineup.
With a number of players listed as questionable for the Sparks, it is likely there will be more opportunities for players including Rae Burrell, Jordin Canada and Zia Cooke to step up. Meanwhile, Jewell Loyd is on an impressive scoring streak, as she continues to lead the Storm. Ezi Magbegor and Kia Nurse are also coming off big performances.
WNBA DFS Picks Today
DraftKings
- A'ja Wilson ($11,200)
- Jewell Loyd ($10,800)
- Courtney Williams ($8,500)
Wilson is coming off back-to-back 30-point games and will be looking to help the Aces close the season with the top spot in the league. Loyd will likely look to close the season with a bang, as she has been a scoring machine all year. Williams logged a double-double with 13 points and 11 assists in the last game and has a chance to step up in the absence of Kahleah Copper.
Value Picks
- DiJonai Carrington ($5,200)
- Victoria Vivians ($5,300)
Carrington looked good in her return to action, with 10 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal in the last game, and she will need to build a rhythm heading into the postseason. Vivians is up for her third consecutive start and should see another extended opportunity for her wayward squad.
FanDuel
- Breanna Stewart ($9,600)
- Ezi Magbegor ($8,200)
- Chelsea Gray ($8,600)
It is hard to pass on Stewart, who is averaging 25.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.9 blocks through her last 10 games. Magbegor is averaging 13.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 blocks through the last 10 games. Gray has delivered three double-doubles and one triple-double within her last 10 outings.
Value Picks
- Myisha Hines-Allen ($5,500)
- Tiffany Mitchell ($4,700)
Hines-Allen has been stuffing the stat sheet lately and is up for her third consecutive start. Mitchell is averaging 6.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists through nine consecutive starts.
