WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Sun do a great job of fortifying their offense by earning a league-high 22.6 free-throw attempts per game. On the other end, they need to step up their rebounding, as they give up the league's fourth-most offensive rebounds. The Lynx are shooting just 29.9 percent from long range, which is tied for worst in the league. In contrast, they give up a league-high 9.1 threes per game, but they make up for it by conceding the league's second-fewest free-throw attempts per game.
The Sun are missing their second-leading scorer, Brionna Jones, which means DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas will have a chance to boost their already impressive numbers. Additionally, Tiffany Hayes averages 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Napheesa Collier has been a force for the Lynx, with more than 20 points in four of the last five outings. Tiffany Mitchell does a good job making an impact across the stat sheet with 10.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists, along with Kayla McBride, who is averaging 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals.
