It feels like the more the WNBA season goes along, the more we are simply trying to figure out which players will see heavy minutes. Obviously, all minutes are not created equal, and matchups still matter, but there are plenty of mid-priced players who have played 30+ minutes lately who would be must-plays if we knew for sure they would get those minutes again Wednesday.

Wednesday’s slate is nearly devoid of cheap forwards, so you should know going in you will likely have to save money on your guards to spend on forwards. There are certainly enough value plays at guard to make that strategy feasible, though some of my favorite guard plays are mid-priced players who have outperformed their price in the last few games. Even with the lack of cheap forwards, there are a few different ways you can fill out your lineup, and I will probably play an extra GPP lineup or two as a result. 

Player FanDuel Price Comments
Jonquel Jones, F, CON $  8,300Jones had 14 rebounds against the Stars a month ago, and that was her last game with fewer than 13 points. San Antonio doesn't have anyone who can keep Jones from scoring and rebound at will.
Kelsey Plum, G, SA $  3,000Plum played 22 minutes and scored 14.2 fantasy points Friday against the Sky. She doesn't match up nearly as well against Connecticut, but she still costs the minimum, which makes her worth considering.
Alex Montgomery, G, SA $  3,100Montgomery scored a season-high 30.5 fantasy points in 30 minutes Friday. I don't think her odds of a repeat performance are particularly high, but who else has that kind of potential at her price?
Moriah Jefferson, G, SA $  5,300It was nice to see Moriah Jefferson play significant minutes alongside Kelsey Plum Friday. Jefferson is averaging 30.1 fppg when she plays 30+ minutes, and with Monique Currie gone, Jefferson seems like a safe bet for 30 minutes against Thursday.
Monique Currie, G, PHO $  4,100Currie scored just 6.7 fantasy points in 15 minutes in her first game with her new team, but there are some reasons for optimism. She has had more time to familiarize herself with the offense and her teammates, and she doesn't have to face the Lynx again. Phoenix needs Currie's scoring off the bench, and there aren't many options at her price.
Brittney Griner, F, PHO $  9,000Griner had just 13.6 fantasy points in 20 minutes Friday thanks to foul trouble, and it would be pretty shocking if she failed to bounce back with a big game against Washington. Griner has topped 37 fantasy points in nine of her 13 games this season.
Elena Delle Donne, F, WAS $  8,000EDD had a streak of four consecutive games at the end of May and beginning of June with at least 40 fantasy points. Since then, she has averaged 30.8 fantasy points. Delle Donne probably isn't a great value for cash lineups, but only five other forwards in Wednesday's slate have reached 40 fantasy points this season, and only one of those, Brittney Griner, has more games with 40+ fantasy points.
Glory Johnson, F, DAL $  6,700Atlanta allows 38.0 rebounds per game this season, the most in the WNBA. Glory Johnson leads the Wings with a 16.4 percent rebounding rate. I don't believe any of Atlanta's forwards can match up with Johnson athletically, which gives Johnson an excellent shot at her fourth 20/10 game of the season.
Skylar Diggins-Smith, G, DAL $  7,300Diggins-Smith scored 30 points June 23 on 10-18 FGA (7-11 3PA), and in her two games since she has scored 28 points on 9-19 FGA (1-6 3PA). 
Allisha Gray, G, DAL $  5,400Gray has scored at least 22.3 fantasy points in seven of her last eight games. That kind of consistency is difficult to find at her price.
Courtney Williams, G, CON $  5,300Williams had a season-high 32 fantasy points against the Stars June 3, and this looks like a fantastic matchup, especially if the Stars are committed to playing Kelsey Plum 22 minutes. Williams is probably riskier than Moriah Jefferson and Allisha Gray, but she could have a really nice game even if she only plays 20 minutes again.
Sancho Lyttle, F, ATL $  5,400Lyttle is basically Allisha Gray except at the forward position. Lyttle has at least 22 fantasy points in five of her last six games, and it was nice to see her play 34 minutes against the Liberty Sunday. 
Brittney Sykes, G, ATL $  4,900Sykes is like a less frustrating version of Moriah Jefferson. Sykes has played at least 28 minutes in each of her last three games and has scored at least 27.8 fantasy points in all three. If she keeps her streak going, this will likely be your last chance to get Sykes before her price catches up with her current production.
Isabelle Harrison, F, SA $  4,900Of the aforementioned forwards playing Wednesday who have topped 40 fantasy points in a game, Harrison is the only one to cost less than $6,700. Harrison has played at least 30 minutes in three consecutive games, averaging 31.0 fantasy points over that span. Harrison is a bit riskier than I would like for cash lineups, but she is a great value compared to the other forwards in her price range.
Alyssa Thomas, F, CON $  7,400Thomas was an afterthought on offense when the season began, but she has now scored at least 25.7 fantasy points in nine consecutive games. While I love her for cash lineups, she has GPP potential as well, having scored at least 40 fantasy points in three games this season.
Theresa Plaisance, F, DAL $  4,900Plaisance scored 33 fantasy points in each of her last two games in June but began July going 0-8 from the field and 0-4 from the foul line Saturday. She will obviously shoot better Wednesday, and it was encouraging to see her play 25 minutes despite literally not making any shots. She may not have Harrison's upside, but she is a fine GPP option in her own right.
