WNBA - DFS Guards
Courtney Vandersloot (G, Chicago Sky) – vs Dallas Wings (DK: $10,800, FD: $7,500)
Vandersloot continued her assist surge last game, with 11 of them, which extended her double-digit assist streak to five games. She's now averaging 9.9 of them per game and has a chance to become the first player in league history to average 10 assists. So yeah, I'm playing her against the Wings, who she had 14 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds against in their last meeting.
Jewell Loyd (G, Seattle Storm) – vs Phoenix Mercury (DK: $8,700, FD: $6,000)
Sue Bird is questionable, as is Breanna Stewart. The Storm could end up relying a whole lot on Jewell Loyd in this one, Considering she's hit 20-plus points in two of the last three games and is coming off of a stellar 23 points and seven rebounds against the Wings and that Jordin Canada probably won't see a ton of minutes as she works back from a knee injury, Loyd has a high ceiling in this one.
Katie Lou Samuelson (G, Dallas Wings) – vs Chicago Sky (DK: $5,200, FD: $4,500)
While Lou is a game time decision due to a foot injury, if she does play she should be in line for an increased workload since Satou Sabally (concussion) is out. Samuelson has seen herself moved into the start five for the Wings as the team's power forward, a role that helps stretch the floor for this team. Samuelson has hit a three in four consecutive games and pulled down a season-high five rebounds against Seattle. She's also got nine assists over her last three games. Solid floor play with upside.

Cheyenne Parker (F, Chicago Sky) – vs Dallas Wings (DK: $8,900 FD: $6,200)
Parker's coming off a rough game, but had been on a hot streak that included two 20-point double-doubles in three games. I'm a little worried now that we saw her floor against Atlanta -- two points and three rebounds in 19 minutes -- but am going to choose to trust her recent increased workload more. Last time against the Wings, Parker had 15 points, seven rebounds, and four steals. She's got solid upside in this one, especially without Satou Sabally to pressure her defensively.
Brionna Jones (F, Connecticut Sun) – vs Atlanta Dream (DK: $9,500, FD: $6,300)
Jones continues to play solid basketball, scoring efficiently in the paint ab grabbing rebounds. She had a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Mercury last game and now takes on the Dream, who she had 11 and four against earlier in the season with three steals. I like Jones in this one because she has such a high floor at this point, and because she's always a threat to give you good steal and block numbers, which helps her upside, especially against a Dream squad that allows the fourth-most steals and fifth-most blocks.
Alysha Clark (F, Seattle Storm) – vs Phoenix Mercury (DK: $8,100, FD: $5,300)
With Breanna Stewart questionable, Seattle could play it safe and rest their MVP candidate, or even if she plays, could defer to other options more. That sets up for what could be a strong Alysha Clark night. Clark hasn't seen a huge volume of shot attempts this year -- she's hit double digits in attempts just twice. She's scoring 1.34 points per possession with a 12.4 percent usage rate overall, but she's also played just 66 minutes without Stewart on the floor, so while her numbers in those 66 minutes haven't risen much, that's a small sample when compared to a single game where she could play 30-plus minutes without Stewart. I like the upside here, and I like her floor if Stewart does suit up.
