We have four games on Sunday's WNBA slate, and with the exception of Brittney Griner, who probably won't be playing for a while, all of the top forwards are playing. Some of those top players have slightly better matchups than others, but I think you can pretty much play any of them. It's much more important, and difficult, to find cheap plays Sunday. If you find you can't afford Natasha Howard and have to downgrade to someone else, I think you will be perfectly fine.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Natasha Howard, F, SEA | $8,300 | $11,500 | Howard is a GPP play, having scored at least 44 fantasy points in four of her last six games. The Liberty rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to forwards. |
Nneka Ogwumike, F, LA | $8,300 | $11,100 | She has played at least 27 minutes and scored at least 36 fantasy points in nine straight games. |
Liz Cambage, F, LV | $8,400 | $10,800 | Maybe she actually did need a rest after all. Cambage scored 43.7 fantasy points in 33 minutes Friday aginast the Sky. I don't trust her for cash, but this should be a good matchup, and she is cheap on DraftKings. |
Courtney Vandersloot, G, CHI | $7,900 | $10,700 | Courtney Vandersloot has at least 33 fantasy points in five straight games, averaging 39.3 fantasy points over that span. If you're going to pay up at guard, I think she is safer and has a higher ceiling than your other options. |
Dearica Hamby, F, LV | $7,400 | $10,400 | In her last three starts next to Liz Cambage, Hamby is averaging 43.1 fantasy points. She's at the bottom end of the elite forward tier, but based on that stat, she shouldn't be. |
Candace Parker, F, LA | $8,000 | $10,200 | Parker has scored at least 35 fantasy points in all three games since returning from her ankle injury. She is averaging 39.2 fppg during that span. |
Tina Charles, F, NY | $7,700 | $9,800 | Charles is still relatively cheap despite scoring 38+ fantasy points in three of her last four games. |
Courtney Williams, G, CON | $6,900 | $8,600 | Williams was terrible at Minnesota Friday, but she had at least 25 fantasy points in four straight games before that. She had 44 fantasy points in her only game against Las Vegas this season. |
Stefanie Dolson, G, CHI | $6,500 | $8,400 | Dolson has scored at least 25 fantasy points in six straight games, averaging 30.7 fantasy points over that span. |
Alysha Clark, F, SEA | $6,100 | $7,600 | Clark is averaging 26.8 fppg over her last six games. The Liberty rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to forwards. |
Natasha Cloud, G, WAS | $5,600 | $7,300 | Cloud figures to see her usage rise the most of Kristi Toliver is out. Cloud has played at least 33 minutes in seven of her last 10 games, and she has scored at least 21 fantasy points in six of her last eight. |
Bria Hartley, G, NY | $5,200 | $6,600 | Hartley has at least 20 fantasy points in each of her last two games despite playing 31 minutes total in those games. She has an excellent chance to start and play 20+ minutes with Asia Durr out. |
Cheyenne Parker, F, CHI | $4,900 | $6,000 | With Jantel Lavender ruled out, Cheyenne Parker has an excellent chance to start, and she will almost certainly play 25+ minutes. Parker is 18th in the WNBA with 1.06 fantasy points per minute. |
Shekinna Stricklen, G, CON | $4,500 | $5,600 | Stricklen is fourth in the WNBA in three pointers made, and the Aces have allowed the most three-point attempts in the league. Stricklen had 27.2 fantasy points against the Aces back in June. |
Reshanda Gray, F, NY | $5,400 | $5,400 | Amanda Zahui B. has been ruled out with a concussion, and Reshanda Gray is averaging 22.7 fppg as a starter this season. Gray is a cash play on both sites, but her price looks a lot nicer on DraftKings. |
Shitori Walker-Kimbrough, G, WAS | $4,200 | $3,800 | Walker-Kimbrough is a punt play if Kristi Toliver is out, especially if she starts. |
Myisha Hines-Allen, F, WAS | $3,500 | $3,200 | Myisha Hines-Allen is the most likely beneficiary of Tianna Hawkins's absence. She is the best punt play of the slate, even if she is still risky. |
