What’s Up Karma Nation! We have another week of WNBA in front of us. Let’s start it off with a good one! We had a solid day yesterday hitting the cash line on both Draftkings and Fanduel. Excited for tonight’s slate. I’m monitoring Lexie Brown’s injury. I hope she is out because then we can lock up the value plays at guard in Minn.
Draftkings Cash Lineup: 169.00 (5-2 on the season)
DeWanna Bonner, Sami Whitcomb, Breanna Stewart, Gabby Williams, Brionna Jones, Jordin Canada
Cheyyene Parker was the play over Gabby Williams who only put up 11.25 but I was still able to sneak into the cash line yesterday. Sami Whitcomb at 2% was the difference maker for me when Williams and Bonner flopped, Whitcomb was able to limp me to the cash line.
Fanduel Cash Lineup: 215.2 (5-3 on the season)
Jewell Loyd, Jordin Canada, Bria Hartley, Breanna Stewart, Brionna Jones, Azura Stevens, Breanna Turner
I was able to secure top 10% last night and coasted to the finish line. All players except Turner and Canada were above 60% owned. Everyone played Taursi over Canada so I got her at 6% owned.

Guards
Top Tier
Ariel Atkins ($8600): Today is an interesting slate, there is no clear cut pay up spot with none of the stud guards playing tonight. If I am paying up, I am using Atkins. She has really found her shot, hitting 20+ points in two straight games and shooting well from 3. Atkins has a nice pace up spot tonight as well the Aces give up the most 3 point shots in the league but only allow 30% shooting from 3. So, we will see a good amount of 3s shot, it all depends if the Mystics can hit them. If the Mystics are hitting their 3s watch out for a runaway victory.
GPP Pivot: Chelsea Gray
Mid Tier
Julie Allemand: Allemand has really taken over as the main guard on the Fever. Both Mitchells are looking to only score so that helps Julie get more assists, especially with Dupree shooting well. She has back to back 9+ assists games and over the last 2 games leads the league in ast%. The pace has plummeted over the last 2 games as well. While Julie is on the court the Fever play at the slowest pace in the league, but have a high offensive rating meaning they have been playing efficient as well.
GPP Pivot: Kia Nurse
FD Cheap Tier
Jazmine Jones: If we get Lexie Brown news that opens up Lynx guards as well especially since Johnson is out too. Jones has had back to back 20 minutes games with big usage bump since Sabrina is out. Playing the most out of any bench players. She is also blowout proof where the blowouts help her as a rookie get more playing time. At such a cheap price on FD she opens up a lot.
GPP Pivot: Crystal Dangerfield
Forwards
Top Tier
A’ja Wilson: Wilson has been playing phenomenally this year and is looking to build on her Potential MVP season tonight. She has dropped 35+ fantasy points in every game this season and gets an easy matchup inside against the Mystics. Both the Aces and the Mystics struggle to defend inside so the bigs are going to be scoring in bunches and I love stacking this game in GPPs. The Mystics give up the highest % within 8 feet from the basket at 71% while the Mystics give up the third most at 60.4%. The Aces also play at the highest pace in the league with the Mystics at 6th so we should see some run and gun high scoring game.
GPP Pivot: M. Hines Allen
Mid Tier
Amanda Zahui B.: With Sabrina out we will see a lot of usage spread out. She scored a season high 11 points last game but unfortunately fouled out. Only seeing 22 minutes in a blowout loss against PHO, blowouts never favor the bigs but her price is just too low to pass up today. She has seen a price decrease every game so she continues to be on my radar. Finally under $8000, she becomes cash playable tonight. What is nice about her, even though she is being guarded by Fowles who is a terrific defender, she is able to spread the floor and get Fowles off the block which is where she thrives defensively. I’m not playing her in GPPs because I don’t like her ceiling but I love her floor.
GPP Pivot: Dearica Hamby
FD Cheap Tier
Carolyn Swords: She continues to see around 20 minutes every game, which at 3.2k is a great price for her. Outside of the PHO game where she was tasked with Griner, Swords has been getting just enough to pay off that salary. While she won’t get you a high ceiling, she will provide you with a nice 12 point floor. Washington loves to play inside so look for a couple more blocks opportunities to get her into value tonight.
