WNBA DFS Picks: Forward
Satou Sabally (Dallas Wings) - vs. LA - DK: $9,700, FD: $7,900
Sabally has, in my opinion, established herself as the Wings best player this season. She does a bit of everything for this Dallas team, as evidenced by her contribution in Wednesday's big win over the Liberty.
While she was just 4-for-13 from the floor for 15 points, she managed to add in more value everywhere else, with five rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. It was her third multi-steal game in the last four contests, and her third time in four games to finish with five or more rebounds and assists. Just a strong showing from a player who has become a star this year.
Dorka Juhasz (Minnesota Lynx) - vs. LV - DK: $8,200, FD: $5,400
The Dorka breakout finally happened on Thursday night, as the former UConn big had a career-high 16 points on 7-for-10 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds in a win over the Sparks. It was the second double-double of Juhasz's WNBA career.
The matchup's tougher on Saturday as she faces the Aces, but with Candace Parker sidelined, a lot of the defensive attention she'll face will be from Kiah Stokes, so I'm not writing off the possibility to another strong showing here. With Jessica Shepard ruled out once again, Juhasz will have another opportunity to shine here.
Alysha Clark (Las Vegas Aces) - @ MIN - DK: $6,300, FD: $4,900
Clark continues to give the Aces good minutes off the bench, and it sometimes feels like the veteran gets a little lost in the mix because of how many stars are on this team.
But she's playing some good basketball right now. Last game, she was 2-for-3 from behind the arc, scoring six points and adding five rebounds, two assists, and two steals. It was the third time in four games she had multiple steals, and her fourth game in a row with at least four rebounds. Clark does a bit of everything for Vegas, and she can do the same for your DFS squad.
WNBA DFS Picks: Guard
Rhyne Howard (Atlanta Dream) - vs. CON - DK: $10,400, FD: $7,500
Howard has scored 20-plus points in both games since the All-Star break, draining a total of seven threes in the process. The second-year guard has established herself as one of the league's best young players.
Last time out against this same Sun team, she scored 22 points on 7-for-19 shooting. She was 4-for-9 from deep and also added two rebounds, three assists, and three steals. It was the third multi-steal game in her last four contests, and also the fourth game in a row that Howard had at least three assists.
Diamond Miller (Minnesota Lynx) -vs. LV - DK: $7,800, FD: $5,800
Miller had one of her best games as a pro on Thursday, playing 35 minutes in a win over the Sparks. She did a little of everything, scoring 13 points on 5-f0r-13 shooting while adding seven rebounds, nine assists, one block, and one steal.
If the Lynx can have Miller serve more as an initiator, that'd be great, because it can mean less reliance on some point guards who aren't the best scoring threats. Tough matchup here, but I think Miller's worth playing in case the role she played on Thursday is indicative of a shift in her role going forward.
Lexie Brown (Los Angeles Sparks) - @ DAL - DK: $6,800, FD: $5,300
She's back! Lexie Brown hadn't played since June 14 due to a non-COVID illness, but her 11-game absence ended on Thursday when she played 20 minutes against Minnesota. She scored 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting and added three rebounds and one assist to the sheet as well.
The Sparks need...well, to be cheesy here, they need a spark, and Brown might be that player. The team didn't get the win against Minnesota, but I expect to see Brown's minutes and role increase as she gets back into game shape. Maybe she won't play 35 minutes tonight, but something around 25 minutes with 10-ish shot attempts can lead to a strong showing.
