For reasons I don’t quite understand, all four WNBA games tip off at 7:00pm EST Tuesday. This is a challenge if you want to watch all four games live, but it is a blessing if you want to partake in Tuesday’s WNBA DFS slate. With all four games beginning at the same time, we should have all of the injury news and starting lineups well before the slate begins. We already got one big piece of news, with Candace Parker getting upgraded to probable, but there will no doubt be more news prior to tip off.
| Guards | |||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Allie Quigley | CHI | ATL | 7800 | 22.78 | 5700 | 22.00 | |
| Quigley has exactly 16 field goal attempts in all three games since the Olympic break, scoring at least 36.5 fantasy points in each. She averaged 9.7 FGA before the break, and I expect her to turn into a pumpkin soon. That being said, if she keeps the streak going, she will be underpriced yet again. | |||||||
| Courtney Williams | ATL | CHI | 9700 | 33.61 | 7400 | 33.03 | |
| Williams's game log has been pretty consistent of late, with great games following very poor games. Williams was 4-16 from the field Saturday after scoring 46.75 fantasy points on 10-22 shooting in the previous game. I fully expect Williams to bounce back, especially considering her success against Chicago this season. Willims is averaging 37.6 fantasy points on 47.1 percent shooting through two games against the Sky. | |||||||
| Aari McDonald | ATL | CHI | 6100 | 13.11 | 4600 | 12.99 | |
| McDonald has played her best ball since the break, scoring at least 22.5 fantasy points in three of four games. She is averaging 18.5 mpg in those four games, which limits her ceiling, but she still looks like a nice value. If Odyssey Sims ever stops making shots, or if Atlanta ever embraces the fact they should be playing for 2022, McDonald should see increased minutes down the stretch. | |||||||
| Jewell Loyd | SEA | MIN | 10100 | 33.05 | 7500 | 32.09 | |
| Loyd has scored at least 44.75 fantasy points in three of her four games since the break. She is averaging 32.1 fantasy points in two games against Minnesota but if she makes some shots, her ceiling is much, much higher than that. | |||||||
| Layshia Clarendon | MIN | SEA | 7400 | 21.75 | 5800 | 20.49 | |
| Clarendon has at least 23 fantasy points in three of four games since the break, including three of their last four. Seattle is 10th in fantasy points allowed to guards, making Clarendon a nice value on both sites. | |||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Kristi Toliver | LA | WAS | 7400 | 17.44 | 5200 | 16.54 | |
| Toliver has scored at least 22 fantasy points in three straight games, and it appears she has finally found her footing after a slow start. It doesn't appear her ceiling is much higher than that, but I will gladly take someone with her floor at that price. | |||||||
| Forwards | |||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Elena Delle Donne | WAS | LA | 7600 | 19.75 | 8200 | 18.60 | |
| Delle Donne is a must-play on DK, and a GPP play on FD. She only played 22 minutes Sunday in her first game of the season, and while we can hope she will get more minutes going forward, she could easily stay at 20ish mpg for a while. Even if she only plays 22 minutes, her usage could increase quite a bit with Tina Charles out. | |||||||
| Myisha Hines-Allen | WAS | LA | 9000 | 29.85 | 6100 | 29.92 | |
| If Elena Delle Donne is a must-play on DK, Hines-Allen is a must-play on FD. Hines-Allen scored 38.75 fantasy points Sunday in 28 minutes despite going 2-12 from the field. She will almost certainly shoot better Tuesday, and she should get more minutes and shots with Tina Charles out. Hines-Allen is much more expensive than Elena Delle Donne on DraftKings, but don't let that scare you away. Hines-Allen is safer than her teammate and is a nice value in her own right. | |||||||
| Monique Billings | ATL | CHI | 7000 | 19.02 | 5100 | 20.18 | |
| Billings played 29 minutes Sunday after Candice Dupree left with a back injury, finishing with 25.5 fantasy points. Dupree is doubtful Tuesday, and Billings will presumably play similar minutes if Dupree is out. Billings is averaging 0.95 fppm this season, and if she maintains that production in a starting role, she will be a nice cash play on both sites. | |||||||
| Elizabeth Williams | ATL | CHI | 6400 | 16.73 | 4700 | 18.18 | |
| Williams did shockingly little Sunday, finishing with one point and three rebounds on zero shot attempts. That performance does not give us a whole lot of hope for Tuesday, though it was nice to see her play a season-high 33 minutes. Williams is averaging 0.82 fppm, and that makes her worth a shot, especially in GPPs, if Candice Dupree is out. I would rather pay up for Monique Billings if I could, but Williams is a fine play instead of or alongside Billings. | |||||||
| Tianna Hawkins | ATL | CHI | 4700 | 12.32 | 3100 | 12.23 | |
| With Candace Parker upgraded to probable, Tianna Hawkins has emerged as the best low-priced forward on the slate. Hawkins played 17 minutes Sunday but shot 1-5 from the field. Elizabeth Williams was just as ineffective in twice the minutes, so there is a chance for Hawkins to play more if she gets off to a strong start. I don't trust her, but there isn't anyone at her price that we can trust. | |||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Sylvia Fowles | MIN | SEA | 10200 | 36.85 | 7800 | 38.04 | |
| Fowles has been much better at home again this season, averaging 40.5 fantasy points compared to 34.0 on the road. She was uncharacteristically quiet against her former team Saturday, but I expect her to rebound against Seattle's thin frontcourt. Fowles is shooting 73.2 percent from the field since the break and if Minnesota can do a better job of getting her the ball, the sky is the limit. | |||||||
| Nneka Ogwumike | LA | WAS | 9800 | 30.58 | 7300 | 30.18 | |
| Ogwumike finally appears to have woken up from her multi-year slumber, averaging 37.1 fantasy points over her last three games. Ogwumike was the league MVP not too long ago and there is no reason to think she can't extend this run of good play for at least one more game. Washington is 11th in fantasy points allowed to forwards. | |||||||
