One of the great ironies of DFS is that when the season ramps up towards the playoffs, the DFS season winds to a close. While I am excited to see how the playoff seeds shake out, and I am still hopeful the Chicago Sky can sneak into the playoffs, it is a bit sad to know I only have two more WNBA Playbooks after this one. Sunday should have a good slate, even if it isn’t a particularly high-scoring one. As has been the case for the last few slates, most of the mid-priced players Sunday come from the guard position. At forward, you are basically looking at expensive players and punt plays, so it may not be a bad idea to fill those in first and then go from there.

Player FanDuel Price  DraftKings Price Comments
Stefanie Dolson, F, CHI $  5,800 $        8,800The Liberty don't have an answer for Dolson's pick-and-pop game, and Dolson is averaging 17.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals against New York this season.
Tina Charles, F, NY $  8,000 $     13,000The Sky have allowed the second-most points and rebounds in the WNBA this season, and Tina Charles has taken advantage to the tune of 19.0 points, 15.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game against the Sky. Expect more of the same Sunday.
Shavonte Zellous, G, NY $  5,300 $        7,500The Sky have allowed the most assists in the WNBA as well, and Shavonte Zellous is averaging 12.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in her two games against Chicago.
Bria Hartley, G, NY $  4,500 $        6,700Hartley has actually outscored Zellous over their last three games, despite playing just 26 minutes Friday. Hartley is fine for a cheaper alternative, especially for cash lineups.
Sugar Rodgers, G, NY $  4,500 $        6,100Rodgers went scoreless in 21 minutes Friday but still took nine shots. Rodgers had at least 10 points and five rebounds in each of her three previous games, and I expect her to get back to that level in a nice matchup against the Sky. 
Kia Vaughn, F, NY $  3,100 $        4,100Kia Vaughn has played more minutes and scored more fantasy points than Kiah Stokes in three consecutive games, but she remains cheaper. Her ceiling isn't exceptionally high, but she is fine for cash lineups.
Jordan Hooper, F, NY $  3,100 $        3,800Hooper has scored at least 12.25 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of her last four games. If New York's bigs have a hard time defending Stefanie Dolson at the three-point-line, Jordan Hooper should get some open looks as well. She is shooting 40.9 percent on threes over her last four games.
Diana Taurasi, G, PHO $  5,900 $        8,400Taurasi got Thursday off after struggling in her two previous games, and the extra rest should help. Taurasi is averaging 22.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists on 3+ days rest. Taurasi costs $2,100 less on DraftKings than she did when she faced Seattle two weeks ago. She had 20 points, four rebounds and four assists in that game. Taurasi is probably a better GPP play, but I would be okay using her in cash lineups.
Jewell Loyd, G, SEA $  6,200 $        9,000Phoenix's backcourt isn't fast enough to keep up with Jewell Loyd, and the numbers bear that out. Loyd is averaging 19.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists in two games against Phoenix this season.
Plenette Pierson, F, MIN $  3,400 $        4,700Pierson is averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in her last five games. If Rebekkah Brunson remains out, Pierson should be a safe DFS play.
Seimone Augustus, G, MIN $  4,700 $        5,200Augustus is averaging 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists against the Sparks this season. She has struggled a bit of late, but her price is down, and at the very least, she has GPP value.
Sylvia Fowles, F, MIN $  8,200 $     12,300Much like Augustus, Fowles hasn't been great lately, but she has been great against Los Angeles. Fowles is averaging 18.5 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.5 blocks against the Sparks this season.
Courtney Vandersloot, G, CHI $  7,600 $     10,900Her price is a bit more reasonable than it was a couple of weeks ago when she was putting up six consecutive double-doubles. Vandersloot is averaging 12.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 9.5 assists against the Liberty this season. She is an okay cash play for her price, but I love her upside for GPP games.
Allie Quigley, G, CHI $  7,500 $     10,000Quigley has scored at least 24.75 fantasy points on DraftKings in nine consecutive games. At the very least, she should be safe, and she is averaging 34.9 DraftKings fantasy points against the Liberty this season.
Breanna Stewart, F, SEA $  8,600 $     13,200Stewart feels like the safest play of the slate, but she is also the most expensive.
