Daily Fantasy WNBA Lineup Picks (7/30/17): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings

Dennis Clausen's top daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for 7/30/17. Expert WNBA DFS advice, sleepers & player recommendations for DraftKings.

Sunday is the day of rest and the day to enjoy a fantastic day of WNBA action. Six games will be on tap, including Breanna Stewart and the Storm meeting with Sylvia Fowles and the Lynx.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 7/30/17. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. All "fantasy points" and salary references are exclusive to the DraftKings scoring system. As always, check player statuses prior to lock time.

Follow me on Twitter and feel free to leave me a comment @Den_Clausen. Let's get started!

 

WNBA - DFS Guards for DraftKings

Diana Taurasi – G, Phoenix Mercury vs San Antonio Stars

Diana Taurasi had a below average game against the Chicago Sky, scoring only 9 points on 2-for-8 from the field. I refuse to give up on Taurasi as she has been hands down the only relevant offensive presence on the Mercury squad. San Antonio likes to play rough, which will translate well for Taurasi who is shooting 90 percent from the free-throw line. Combine that with the fact that the Stars aren’t very good and we have all of the ingredients for a successful fantasy performance. Let’s not give up on Taurasi and give her a free pass for Friday’s performance.

Allie Quigley – G, Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty

While everyone continues to go bonkers over Courtney Vandersloot, Allie Quigley is often overlooked. Quigley has been very consistent this entire season, averaging 17 points per game. She also averages around three shots per game from long range making her a good play against a Liberty team that is struggling in that area.

Tiffany Hayes – G, Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics

Speaking of players that are overlooked, Tiffany Hayes has been on a roll as of late. Over the last four games, Hayes is averaging just over 23 points and has also accumulated her fair share of both rebounds and assists as well. If you need to save some cash because of the high priced Forwards, we need to cut corners while getting some value.

Brittney Sykes – G, Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics

I am still in love with the play of Brittney Sykes. She slowed down a bit on Friday but she will be just fine. She is very versatile and can really benefit from the Mystics issues on the glass. Keep her in mind on Sunday.

Kayla McBride – G, San Antonio Stars @ Phoenix Mercury

Kayla McBride seems to be back on track after suffering an ankle injury a few weeks ago. McBride played 32 minutes on Friday against the defending champs, scoring 20 points that included a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line. Phoenix doesn’t have two nickels to rub together at the moment and McBride appears to be ready to pick up right where she left off prior to the injury.

Other names to consider on Sunday: Kelsey Plum - G, San Antonio Stars @ Phoenix Mercury, Monique Currie - G, Phoenix Mercury vs San Antonio Stars, Odyssey Sims - G, Los Angeles Sparks vs Dallas Sparks, Chelsea Gray - G, Los Angeles Sparks vs Dallas Wings, Kristi Toliver - G, Washington Mystics @ Atlanta Dream

WNBA - DFS Forwards for DraftKings

Elena Delle Donne - F, Washington Mystics @ Atlanta Dream

Elena Delle Donne returned with a vengeance against San Antonio, scoring 29 points and grabbing 10 boards. Delle Donne missed a few games due to a high ankle sprain but was back to her old ways against the Stars. Atlanta will have a high on Sunday of 86 degrees with a zero percent chance of rain so it appears as if the Mystics won't get rained out like they did on Friday night.

Jonquel Jones - F, Connecticut Sun vs Indiana Fever

To quote my good buddy Jut, Indiana is "pure garbage" on the boards which opens up the door for Jonquel Jones to have a fantastic Sunday. Jones has had at least 10 rebounds in her last six straight games and will also have the opportunity to score some points against a Fever team that isn't doing a very good job in that area either.

Breanna Stewart - F, Seattle Storm @ Minnesota Lynx

Breanna Stewart has really turned it on as of late but will have her hands full against the Lynx. Let it be known that she will be productive but not as productive since Minnesota only gives up a league best 76 points per game. Use caution here.

Tina Charles - F, New York Liberty @ Chicago Sky 

If you want to play it safe and sit Breanna Stewart on Sunday, put Tina Charles in your lineup instead. Charles put down 23 points and grabbed 19 boards against the Sky in their last meeting. Chicago is the second worst in the league in rebounds so look for Charles to have a field day on Sunday.

Isabelle Harrison - F, San Antonio Stars @ Phoenix Mercury

Losing Brittney Griner has not played out very well for Phoenix, as expected. They have been getting dominated on the inside so look for Isabelle Harrison to take advantage of that. If you need to pinch your pennies because of the high priced names available on Sunday, check out Harrison.

Other names to consider on Sunday: Nneka Ogwumike - F, Los Angeles Sparks vs Dallas Wings, Candace Parker - F, Los Angeles Sparks vs Dallas Wings, Sylvia Fowles - F, Minnesota Lynx vs Seattle Storm, Maya Moore - F, Minnesota Lynx vs Seattle Storm, Jantel Lavender - F, Los Angeles Sparks vs Dallas Wings, Angel Robinson - F, Phoenix Mercury vs San Antonio Stars, Emma Meesseman - F, Washington Mystics @ Atlanta Dream
