Elite WNBA DFS Players
Guards
FanDuel
Olivia Miles, Lynx 
($8,200) at Tempo
Miles dropped 43.2 FD points in a well-rounded performance during Tuesday's win over the Tempo, and she'll look to remain productive in Thursday's rematch in Toronto. The rookie guard has generated at least 39.3 FD points in five of her last six appearances, averaging 22.3 points, 7.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 combined steals-plus-blocks in 31.7 minutes per tilt during that time.
DraftKings
Jackie Young, Aces 
($9,400) vs. Liberty
Although she didn't offer much in terms of peripheral numbers in her previous appearance, Young is still coming off a 25-point effort. The star guard has recorded between 32.5 and 51.5 DK points in each of her last three appearances, and she notched 36.0 while dishing out seven dimes in the June 23 loss to the Liberty.
Forwards/Centers
FanDuel
Kamilla Cardoso, Sky 
($7,000) vs. Sun
While Cardoso scored just 10 points in her last outing, she still finished with 28.5 FD points. The 25-year-old center has reached that mark in each of her last 12 appearances, during which she has averaged 16.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.5 combined steals-plus-blocks across 26.5 minutes per showing. She finished with 42.8 FD points in the Sky's last meeting with the Sun.
DraftKings
A'ja Wilson, Aces ($12,000) vs. Liberty
Wilson is a consistent source of elite production and a viable DFS option against any team. The superstar center has appeared in six consecutive contests, registering between 44.0 and 64.8 DK points in all six of those outings. During that span, she has averaged 27.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 29.8 minutes per tilt. She had 41.3 DK points in her last game against New York.
Mid-Range WNBA DFS Picks
FanDuel
Chelsea Gray, Aces ($6,000) vs. Liberty
Gray would have provided at least 4x value in 12 of her last 13 games at this salary, including her 37.0 FD-point performance in the June 23 loss to New York. Over her last five outings, the veteran floor general has averaged 14.8 points, 7.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 31.6 minutes per contest.
DraftKings
Aneesah Morrow, Sun 
($7,100) at Sky
With Brittney Griner (knee) and Aaliyah Edwards (knee) remaining sidelined Thursday, Morrow figures to stay in the starting five. The second-year forward has started back-to-back outings, supplying 26.5 and 37.5 DK points. As a member of the first unit this season (eight games), she has averaged 13.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.9 combined steals-plus-blocks and 1.8 assists in 25.1 minutes per game.
WNBA DFS Value Picks
FanDuel
Leila Lacan, Sun ($5,900) at Sky
Lacan hasn't topped 10 points in any of her last three games, though she's still provided at least 23.4 FD points in two of those outings. The second-year point guard has reached that mark in seven of her nine appearances in July, during which she has averaged 13.3 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks in 30.1 minutes per showing.
DraftKings
Laura Juskaite, Tempo 
($6,400) vs. Lynx
Juskaite is a solid cost-effective option, though it'll be worth monitoring whether Isabelle Harrison (knee) and Nyara Sabally (ribs) are cleared to play. Still, Juskaite just scored 18 points en route to 24.5 DK points in Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, and she's reached that mark in three of her last six games. Over that stretch, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 30.5 minutes per game.
