WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Wings give up a league-most 86.6 points, while the Dream give up 86.5 points per game. The Dream give up more of their points inside, while the Wings struggle to guard the perimeter, surrendering 8.5 threes per game. The Dream also struggle on the glass, giving up the league's third-most rebounds per game, while the Wings do a better job, especially on the offensive glass.
Allisha Gray is coming off back-to-back games with at least 25 points, while Rhyne Howard is also on a roll. Nia Coffey has a good chance to keep up her hot shooting. On the other side, Arike Ogunbowale poured in 41 points in her last outing, while Satou Sabally and Natasha Howard also had at least 20 points. Sabally and Howard should thrive on the glass, along with Kalani Brown, who topped 10 rebounds in two of the last four games.

WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
The Lynx give up a league-most 9.2 three-pointers per game while allowing opponents to shoot an average of 34.4 percent from deep. On a positive note, they do a good job of limiting their fouls, as they give up the second-fewest free-throw attempts. The Sparks do a much better job guarding the three, holding opponents to just 31.0 percent from deep. They also take care of the boards, holding opponents to the league's second-fewest offensive rebounds.
The Sparks have five players averaging double digits in scoring, led by Nneka Ogwumike and Jordin Canada, while Dearica Hamby also does a good job across the stat sheet. Additionally, look out for Zia Cooke and Azura Stevens to continue to see more action. The Lynx are led by Napheesa Collier, averaging 20.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. Bridget Carleton and Dorka Juhasz must also continue to step up in added playing time as a result of injuries to Minnesota's preferred rotation.

WNBA DFS Showdown Picks and Lineup Building Strategy
Connecticut has been strong defensively, holding opponents to the league's third-fewest points and a league-low 6.1 three-pointers per game. Conversely, the Storm have struggled on the defensive end, allowing opponents to shoot a league-high 46.4 percent from the field. The Sun also average a league-most 22.8 free throws per game, while the Storm are the second-lowest scoring team in the league.
Despite the Storm's underwhelming offense, Jewell Loyd has been fantastic, including a 39-point effort in the last game. Ezi Magbegor is the only other player averaging double digits in scoring, and she leads the team in rebounds (8.5 per game). Connecticut has three players averaging at least 15 points per game, led by DeWanna Bonner (17.8). Brionna Jones and Alyssa Thomas each topped 20 points within the last two outings and also lead the team in rebounding.
WNBA DFS Picks Today
DraftKings
- Brionna Jones ($10,400)
- Arike Ogunbowale ($10,800)
- Allisha Gray ($9,100)
Jones has gone over 30 DK points in six consecutive games, including a high of 50.8. Ogunbowale is coming off a season-high 41-point outing and should thrive against the Dream's lackluster defense. Gray scored at least 25 points in back-to-back games, including one double-double with 10 assists, and she should stuff the stat sheet against the Wings, who give up the league's most points per game.
Value Picks
- Naz Hillmon ($4,000)
- DiJonai Carrington ($4,900)
Hillmon had a couple quieter performances recently but tallied double-digit DK points in six of 10 outings and has a good opportunity to shine in what should be a high-scoring game. Carrington has seen her playing time pick up, with more than 20 minutes in three straight games.
FanDuel
- Dearica Hamby ($7,400)
- DeWanna Bonner ($6,800)
- Natasha Howard ($6,900)
Hamby is coming off a muted showing but topped 25 FD points in four of the last five outings, including two with more than 40. Bonner scored 20 points in back-to-back games and is likely to keep the momentum going against the Storm's struggling defense. Howard topped 45 FD points twice in four games and should have plenty of opportunity to fill the stat sheet against the Dream, who do not rebound well.
Value Picks
- Azura Stevens ($4,200)
- Danielle Robinson ($3,000)
Stevens logged a season-high 30 minutes and finished with 26.8 DK points in the last game. Robinson made her return to action with 10.4 FD points in the previous outing and should be up for a consistent role off the bench.
