Two days after we had a big win over on DraftKings, we are right back at it with the same six teams. Things have changed a bit, however, with Jasmine Thomas out and Candice Dupree questionable. Dupree’s absence would probably have the greatest effect for fantasy, but there could be sneaky value for whoever starts in Thomas’s place.

As always, the lineups below are examples of lineups you can make using the players in the Playbook and are not for plug and play.

Guards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Briann JanuaryCONLV600013.08440013.19
She has a chance to play more minutes with Jasmine Thomas out, but even if she is stuck on 29 for the fourth game in five days, she should get a nice bump in usage. If she could actually knock down a few shots, she could be a nice tournament play, but she should have a relatively high floor if nothing else.
Natisha HiedemanCONLV400010.2634009.59
In three starts this season, Hiedeman is averaging 18.2 fppg. Whoever starts for Jasmine Thomas is playable for fantasy, but Hiedeman probably would be the most valuable starter.
Shatori Walker-KimbroughPHOIND580012.86530013.03
Walker-Kimbrough was a huge part of our big win Tuesday, and while I don't necessarily expect 30 more fantasy points, it wouldn't shock me, either. She is a GPP play again, especially on DraftKings.
Diana TaurasiPHOIND1150036.73730035.10
She is averaging 50 fantasy points in two the last two games with Bria Hartley out on 42.5 percent shooting from the field. That is hardly unsustainable. That being said, you pretty much need 45+ fantasy points to justify that price, and that is a tall as for anyone.
Skylar Diggins-SmithPHOIND960029.26640027.93
She is averaging 38.7 fantasy points over her last three games, and her floor should be pretty high if she keeps getting 12+ shots per game. This is the player Phoenix though they were getting when they traded for her in the offseason.
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Chennedy CarterATLNY860026.48540025.68
Carter has scored at least 32.5 fantasy points in two straight games despite playing fewer than 30 minutes in each. New York is last in the league in fantasy points allowed to guards, and Carter is the cheapest of Atlanta's three big guards.
Julie AllemandINDPHO830025.04550024.48
Allemand is averaging 24 fantasy points in her last two games despite shooting 2-11 total in those games. She will almost certainly be better Thursday against the Mercury, who are ninth in fantasy points allowed to guards.
        
Forwards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Teaira McCowanINDPHO740022.34600021.80
McCowan had 35.25 fantasy points in 27 minutes Tuesday, and if Candice Dupree is out, I think you pretty much have to play McCowan. She was awesome last season when she got extended run, and she is still averaging 1.04 fantasy points per minute this season.
Natalie AchonwaINDPHO800019.64580019.48
Achonwa has at least 25.5 fantasy points in five of her last six games, and while her price has finally caught up to that production, she could still be a good value if Candice Dupree is out.
Brianna TurnerPHOIND910023.9700025.45
This could be a rough matchup if Tearia McCowan gets a lot of run, but Turner is averaging 36.6 fppg in her last four games.
Alyssa ThomasCONLV1030036.65760036.50
The Aces are ninth in fantasy points allowed to forwards, and Thomas is averaging 40.5 fantasy points in her last three games. She is probably safer than Brianna Turner, but you have to pay for that extra safety.
Brionna JonesCONLV720022.98520023.76
Jones played 30 minutes and scored 20.5 fantasy points after missing a game with an ankle injury. It was the sixth time in her last seven games with at least 20 fantasy points.
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Dearica HambyLVCON900029.09680028.85
Hamby is averaging 41.4 fppg in her last three games. She was this good last season when Liz Cambage was out, and the only surprise is that it took so long for this production to resurface.
Kia VaughnPHOIND780011.85580011.82
Vaughn is averaging 29.4 minutes and 24.4 fantasy points in her last four games with Brittney Griner out.
Kiah StokesNYATL750018.69500018.48
Sokes is inconsistent, but she has played at least 27 minutes in five straight games, with 30+ fantasy points in two of those.
