This is the first time we have had a 12:00 pm ET slate with more than two games. Three of the games are in the afternoon with the last at 10:00 pm ET. If you miss lineup lock, there won’t be another opportunity to get lineups in. As of now, there are no injury concerns for the late game, so you should be able to set your lineups with confidence Wednesday morning.

I almost never have an easier time finding guards than forwards, but that is the case Wednesday. My biggest problem is that I feel like the Sky and Wings frontcourts match up pretty well, and I am reluctant to choose any of them. Inevitably, one or two forwards from that game will have a big game, but good luck choosing which ones. As a result, I suggest one of two options: either choose your forwards first and fill in your guard spots with whatever you have left to spend or pick some cheap guards you like and round out your roster with high-priced forwards.

This is the second WNBA Playbook since DraftKings added WNBA contests, and unlike the first one, there are only a couple of players whose prices are significantly different between the two sites. Last week there were several players I liked a lot better on one site or the other, and that is not the case for Wednesday’s slate. 

Player FanDuel Price  DraftKings Price Comments
Kelsey Plum, G, SA $  3,400 $        4,100Kelsey Plum has played at least 22 minutes in three consecutive games, scoring at least 15.75 fantasy points on DraftKings in each despite shooting a collective 9-25. Plum should be safe at least until Moriah Jefferson returns, and Plum could have a big game if she ever starts knocking down some shots.
Brittney Griner, F, PHO $  8,900 $     12,600No team has allowed as many rebounds or blocks as the Dream this season, and only the Liberty have allowed more free throw attempts. Atlanta doesn't have anyone who can slow down Griner's offense or make her work on the defensive end. Griner has gone for at least 30 points and 13 rebounds in two of her last three games. Nobody in Wednesday's slate can match her upside.
Briann January, G, IND $  4,000 $        4,100January is coming off her worst game of the season Friday, but she will almost certainly bounce back. If Moriah Jefferson is out, January should have a quickness advantage against San Antonio's guards. Even if Jefferson is back, January looks like a fantastic value on DraftKings.
Tamera Young, G, CHI $  4,300 $        6,200Young played 27 minutes for the second consecutive game Saturday, and she probably would have played even more if the game had still been close in the fourth quarter. Chicago doesn't have a ton of playmakers with Cappie Pondexter out, and Young seems like a safe bet to take at least 10 shots, which is more than enough to justify her price.
Moriah Jefferson, G, SA $  5,100 $        6,700Prior to leaving Wednesday's game with a concussion, Moriah Jefferson had played at least 32 minutes and scored at least 26.2 fantasy points in five of her last seven games. If Jefferson is back in the starting lineup, she probably needs to be in your lineups.
Courtney Vandersloot, G, CHI $  5,600 $        7,900Vandersloot and the Sky almost certainly won't play as well as they did Saturday, but it was nice to see Vandersloot look for her own shot early with Cappie Pondexter out. That should continue Wednesday, and with the Fever allowing 18.1 assists per game, Vandersloot should have an excellent shot at her second consecutive double-double.
Brittney Sykes, G, ATL $  5,500 $        7,600Sykes has played at least 28 minutes and had at least 13 points and four rebounds in six consecutive games, with at least one block in five of those and at least one steal in four. If she continues that production Wednesday, she will be a really nice value once again.
Courtney Paris, F, DAL $  3,200 $        3,500Paris is basically the Kelsey Plum of the forward position, though I would argue Plum's ceiling is higher. Paris has scored at least 12 fantasy points on FanDuel in both of her games since returning from a knee injury, which is fine production considering her price. Only the Dream have allowed more rebounds than the Sky this season, so Paris should be pretty safe even if she only plays 15 minutes again Wednesday.
Isabelle Harrison, F, SA $  4,700 $        6,900None of Indiana's frontcourt players can match Isabelle Harrison's size and athleticism. The only question in my mind is if she will get enough minutes and touches to take advantage. I have a hard time justifying Harrison in a cash lineup, but her price and ceiling make her difficult to ignore for a GPP.
Alysha Clark, F, SEA $  4,000 $        5,200I could just copy and paste everything I wrote about Clark for Saturday. She is a good bet to play 30 minutes, which cannot be said for any of the other forwards in her price range. Her production can be erratic, but she has scored at least 16.3 fantasy points on FanDuel in each of her last three games.
Camille Little, F, PHO $  5,000 $        6,000Little had a rough game against the physicality of the Liberty, but I expect much better things against a smaller Atlanta frontcourt. Little had scored at least 20.25 fantasy points on DraftKings in five consecutive games prior to Sunday, and she should be pretty safe Wednesday.
Breanna Stewart, F, SEA $  8,400 $     11,800Stewart has scored at least 20 points in six of her last seven games, with double-doubles in four of those. One of those double-doubles came against this same Connecticut team, and like most teams in the WNBA, the Sun do not have anyone who can match Stewart's size and athleticism.
Alyssa Thomas, F, CON $  7,800 $     11,100Thomas may not have the upside of Breanna Stewart, or even her teammate Jonquel Jones, but she has been remarkably consistent, scoring at least 31.25 fantasy points on DraftKings in nine consecutive games.
