Sylvia Fowles may have the right recipe of skills to take advantage of the Sparks' struggles on the boards. She collected 20 points and 13 rebounds the last time the Lynx played Los Angeles.

Liz Cambage's inside game fits perfectly into Sunday's matchup against a Chicago squad that struggles to rebound and defend the paint. She averaged 22 points and 10 boards in two previous games versus the Sky.

Jewell Loyd went for 15 points the last time the Storm clashed with the Sun and could be slated for extra minutes Friday if Jordin Canada (ankle) is held out.

Aerial Powers (left) is coming off her second 20-point effort of the season Sunday against the Lynx and figures to be relied upon for scoring again Wednesday with Kristi Toliver sidelined.

Chiney Ogwumike could see her minutes expand in her second game back from a tooth extraction. Her scoring ability inside could play up against a Sky team that allows a slate-high total for points in the paint.

Elena Delle Donne posted her season-high fantasy output the last time she faced the Fever and should be well-positioned for another monster effort in the rematch Thursday.

Jonquel Jones should anchor plenty of DFS lineups Sunday against an up-tempo Liberty squad that struggles on the defensive end of the floor. Plenty of value may lie with an injury-riddled Mercury squad as well.

Renee Montgomery has faded into the shadows of late, but she shined with a season-best 23 points the last time the Dream played the Sky and could provide considerable value again Saturday.

Kia Nurse should contribute from both the charity stripe and from downtown against a Wings defense that has proven deficient despite the relatively slow pace of their contests.

Liz Cambage has seen her usage rise to 31.8 percent in the last three games and will presumably see repeat trips to the stripe against a Wings club sending the opposition there a slate-high 18.8 times per game.

Coming off a monster effort last Friday against the Aces, Natasha Howard's strengths play into the few weaknesses in Las Vegas' game and positions her for another big day in the rematch Tuesday.

Coming off a monster effort Friday versus the Fever, Elena Delle Donne aims for her fifth 20-plus point effort and sixth 10-rebound effort against a Dream defense that struggles to stop opposing forwards.

Kayla McBride's proficiency from beyond the arc could come in handy Friday against a stingy Storm defense. She's nailed 46.8 percent of her shots from deep this season and 60 percent through four July games.

Diamond DeShields is coming off of a 26-point performance and may be positioned for a big day on the boards versus a Dream squad surrendering 19.7 rebounds per game to opposing forwards.

Glory Johnson rides a pair of strong efforts into Sunday's matchup versus a fast-paced Chicago squad. A banged up Wings roster should lead to big minutes that place her firmly on the DFS radar.

Tiffany Hayes is averaging a career-low 3.0 free-throw attempts per game this season. That may turn around Sunday against a Liberty squad that sends opposing guards to the charity stripe at a league-high rate.

Jordin Canada figures to see major minutes following the news that Jewell Lloyd is facing an extended absence. She also clocks in as the top budget differential option on one of the daily sites Friday.

Elena Delle Donne's proficiency on the glass this season could come in handy Sunday versus an Atlanta Dream squad surrendering a league-high 12.8 offensive rebounds per game.

After a slow start to 2019, Renee Montgomery posted season-best marks across the board Wednesday in the wake of Alex Bentley's EuroBasket departure. Big minutes should be on tap for her again Friday.

Diamond DeShields leads the way in scoring for the Sky this season and will aim for her fourth 20-plus point performance in five games Saturday, facing a Fever squad with a lackluster defensive rating.

Jewell Loyd has shot the ball at least 11 times per game this season. She has also posted her top three scoring efforts in the team's last three games, giving her plenty of upside versus the Mystics.

DeWanna Bonner has exploded out of the gates to the tune three 25-plus point games in the Mercury's first four, and should be among the top DFS lineup anchors again Tuesday against an efficient Mystics squad.

Jonquel Jones has averaged a double-double in the early going and squares off against a Dream squad that struggles to clean the glass and defend the paint, positioning her for another big day.

Liz Cambage has played 14 minutes in each of her first two games with the Aces. Could Thursday be the start of expanding minutes for the 2018 MVP runner-up?

Tina Charles posted a dominating performance en route to a double-double in the opener and the offense will likely run through her again Saturday versus the Fever.

Alysha Clark is expected to make her season debut for the Storm after resting the first two contests and could provide some immediate value on one of the daily sites.

Brittney Griner and DeWanna Baker are two of a handful who should see more of the basketball in Saturday's slate of season openers with a number star players absent.

Tina Charles is unsurprisingly the most expensive player on DraftKings and FanDuel for Friday's opening night slate, but there are plenty of value options who will make it easier to roster the Liberty star.
