Elite WNBA DFS Players
Guards
FanDuel
Kelsey Mitchell, Fever 
($7,900) vs. Mystics
Mitchell was one of my picks during Friday's column, and she performed well with 44.4 FD points, so I'll roll with her again Sunday. At this salary, she's provided at least 4x value in five of her last six appearances, with her lone miss during that time being a performance with 30.0 FD points against the Liberty on Aug. 22. Additionally, she's topped 5x value in four of her last five outings. The Fever maintain motivation to play hard over the final week of the regular season since they're half a game behind the No. 4 seed in the playoffs, so I expect Mitchell to see another hefty workload Sunday.
DraftKings
Caitlin Clark, Fever ($12,200) vs. Mystics
I viewed Clark as a somewhat risky pick during Friday's game against the Tempo since she suited up for Team USA at the FIBA World Cup, but she showed no signs of limitations during her first game back on the WNBA floor. Although she has the second-highest salary on Sunday's slate on DraftKings, she's in the midst of a hot streak in which she's posted three consecutive double-doubles while generating at least 56.0 DK points in each of those outings.
Forwards/Centers
FanDuel
Nneka Ogwumike, Sparks 
($7,500) vs. Fire
With the Sparks eliminated from postseason contention, Ogwumike has just three games remaining in her storied WNBA career. She hasn't shown signs of wear in recent appearances, as she's generated at least 34.4 FD points in each of her last four appearances while topping 40 FD points in three of those outings. The 36-year-old has posted double-doubles in each of her two appearances against the Fire this season, and I'm expecting continued success Sunday.
DraftKings
A'ja Wilson, Aces 
($12,600) vs. Storm
Wilson has been a mainstay in this column during the 2026 season in what appears to be her fifth MVP campaign, and she hasn't shown signs of slowing down as the regular season draws to a close. She's generated at least 45.0 DK points in each of her last three appearances and has eclipsed 50 DK points in three of her last five outings. She posted a season-best 72.5 DK points during her first home matchup against the Storm this year and has plenty of upside Sunday if the Aces run a fairly normal rotation.
Mid-Range WNBA DFS Picks
FanDuel
Carla Leite, Fire 
($5,900) at Sparks
Leite sat out the Fire's first game following the FIBA World Cup break for rest purposes, but she returned to action in the second half of a back-to-back set Friday against the Valkyries. She generated 23.4 FD points, which fell just short of providing 4x value, but she was successful in the weeks leading up to the layoff, logging at least 27.6 FD points in four of her final six appearances. Leite had an encouraging return to action Friday, and I'm expecting another solid performance against Los Angeles.
DraftKings
Rae Burrell, Sparks ($7,700) vs. Fire
Burrell was held to 18.8 DK points during the Sparks' first game following the break Thursday against the Wings, but she was successful prior to the layoff, posting at least 27.3 DK points in each of her final three outings before the FIBA World Cup. Despite Thursday's lackluster stat line, I predict that she'll have plenty of opportunities to bounce back Sunday against a Fire squad that could be shorthanded.
WNBA DFS Value Picks
FanDuel
Monique Akoa Makani, Sparks ($4,400) vs. Fire
Akoa Makani has had an inconsistent role since joining the Sparks, as she's averaged 4.1 points and 1.8 assists in 18.8 minutes per game across eight appearances. That inconsistent usage has continued in recent weeks, as she posted at least 12.6 FD points in each of her final two appearances prior to the break before being held to 8.4 FD points against the Wings on Thursday. However, she's played at least 21 minutes in each of her last three outings, which gives her a fairly safe floor at this salary.
DraftKings
Stefanie Dolson, Storm 
($4,000) at Aces
Dolson and the Storm have a tough matchup against Las Vegas on Sunday, but the forward could see a relatively full workload, even if the score gets out of hand. She was successful in her return to the court Thursday against the Aces, generating 18.8 DK points. Dolson has now generated double-digit DK points in three consecutive appearances, giving her a relatively solid floor heading into Sunday's matchup.
