The Lynx (25-9) are coming off back-to-back wins and look to keep rolling as they face the second game of a three-game road trip with the opportunity to build on their 10-6 road record.

The Mystics could be in trouble if their two top scorers, Ariel Atkins and Shakira Austin are sidelined. On the bright side, Brittney Sykes, Karlie Samuelson, Julie Vanloo and Emily Engstler have each shown the ability to step up and help lead the way offensively. Aaliyah Edwards is also able to chip in across the board.

The Dream (12-22) are 5-5 in their last 10 games and look to build on their 5-12 road as they make a push for the final playoff spot. The Fever (18-17) saw a five-game win streak snapped on Friday in a home loss to the Lynx, but they hope to get back on track and add to their 10-6 home record as they face the third game of a six-game home stand.
The Dream had four players play at least 40 minutes in their last game, led by Rhyne Howard, who has topped the 30-point mark in back-to-back outings. Tina Charles is also in a groove offensively, hitting the 20-point mark twice in the last three outings, while Allisha Gray, Jordin Canada and Naz Hillmon have made significant impacts on the scoreboard within the last three games.
Caitlin Clark is on an absolute tear, averaging 24.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 10.0 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games. Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston have also hit the 20-point mark at least twice within the last five games, while NaLyssa Smith is also doing a great job chipping in across the stat sheet.

The Aces (22-12) have won four in a row and look to keep rolling with an opportunity to build on their 11-5 road record as they face the second game of a four-game road trip. The Liberty (28-6) have won eight of their last 10 games and have a chance to add to their 15-2 home record on the second and final game of a home stand.
A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum continue to lead the way offensively for the Aces, while Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young do a good job distributing the ball. Tiffany Hayes can make an impact across the stat sheet, while Alysha Clark is a consistent contributor off the bench.
The Liberty are similarly led by two dominant forces -- Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu. Stewart topped 30 points twice in the last three games, while Ionescu has logged eight assists in each of the last two outings. Jonquel Jones and Courtney Vandersloot also remain key contributors, while Kayla Thornton and Leonie Fiebich continue to play well off the bench.

WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Wings (9-25) enter on a three-game slide, looking to improve on their 2-15 road record as they face the second and final game of a road trip. The Sky (12-22) snapped a seven-game slide with a home win over the Sparks on Friday, and they hope to stay on track with the opportunity to build on their 5-12 home record.
Arike Ogunbowale, Satou Sabally and Natasha Howard each played more than 40 minutes in the Wings' road loss against the Dream on Friday, while the squad fights to make a push for the last playoff spot. All three players continue to put up big numbers, along with Teaira McCowan, who has hauled in more than 10 rebounds in six straight games, including four double-doubles.
The Sky are at a significant disadvantage with the recent injury to Angel Reese. On the bright side, their leading scorer, Chennedy Carter returned to action in the last game, while Kamilla Cardoso and Michaela Onyenwere have been delivering solid production lately.

The Sun (24-10) are coming off back-to-back losses but hope to turn things around as they kick off a four-game road trip with the chance to add to their 11-5 road record. The Sparks (7-27) have dropped 10 of their last 11 games and look to get back on track as they open a three-game home stand with the opportunity to improve on their 5-11 home record.
DeWanna Bonner, Marina Mabrey and Brionna Jones have each topped the 20-point mark at least once within the last four outings for the Sun. Alyssa Thomas also does a great job of stuffing the stat sheet.
Dearica Hamby and Rickea Jackson continue to lead the charge for the Sparks. Odyssey Sims is also playing well, hitting the 20-point mark twice within the last five outings. Kia Nurse and Li Yueru are consistent contributors off the bench.
WNBA DFS Picks Today
DraftKings
- Napheesa Collier ($11,600)
- Rhyne Howard ($10,300)
- Alyssa Thomas ($10,000)
Collier is on a roll with great production across the stat sheet, surpassing 40 DK points in seven of her nine games played since the break. Howard is coming off back-to-back games with more than 30 points and should do well against the Fever, who give up the league's second-highest three-point shooting percentage. Thomas should thrive against the Sparks, who give up the league's highest field-goal percentage to opposing forwards.
Value Picks
- Diamond DeShields ($4,600)
- Isabelle Harrison ($4,600)
FanDuel
- Kamilla Cardoso ($7,300)
- Chennedy Carter ($7,100)
- Natasha Howard ($7,500)
Cardoso has a favorable matchup against the Wings, who give up the league's most points per game to opposing centers. Carter will have to step up into an even more prominent scoring role in the absence of Angel Reese. Howard is averaging 19.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks over the last 10 games and should do well against the hobbled Sky.
Value Picks
- Julie Vanloo ($5,000)
- Natisha Hiedeman ($4,600)
