Big slate of WNBA action on Friday, as 10 of the league's 12 teams will be in action. The marquee game of the slate is definitely the Sky visiting the Sun in a game that could matter down the stretch for playoff seeding.
I'll be providing daily fantasy lineup picks for the WNBA this season here at RotoBaller. In addition, I'll be sprinkling in some basic betting picks. Not going to get complicated since there's limited space in this piece, but I'll throw you a bet or two each day that I like and, because I think this is important, that I'll be making myself.
In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/10/22. These lineups picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. The slate locks on 6/10/2022 at 7:00 p.m. ET. Want to talk more about the WNBA?

WNBA DFS Lineup Picks: Forwards
Breanna Stewart (Seattle Storm) - @ DAL - DK: $11,400, FD: $9,000
Stewart is the best fantasy scorer in the league. She faces a Wings defense that has actually been better than expected, but that she posted great numbers against the last time these teams played. The Storm were held to 51 points the last time they played Dallas, but Stewart had 27 of those points, plus eight rebounds, one assist, four blocks and three steals. The team was terrible...and she scored 53.5 DraftKings points. Highest ceiling on this slate.
Satou Sabally (Dallas Wings) - vs SEA - DK: $7,700, FD: $6,000
In the last game against the Storm, Sabally had her best game of the season, with 11 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. She now has double-doubles in the last two games and while her shooting has been off more than it's been on this season, her volume has ramped up. Sabally is getting really undervalued right now by the pricing on both platforms. She's got four games in a row with 25-plus fantasy points.
Damiris Dantas (Minnesota Lynx) - vs WAS - DK: $3,100, FD: $4,200
FanDuel realized that Dantas is set to make her season debut just as Sylvia Fowles exits for an indeterminate amount of time with a knee injury. DraftKings did not, so the fact that you can get her for $3,100 on that platform is kind of wild. The Lynx have an instant hole up front and are getting a player who averaged 12.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game two years ago as a full-time starter. Her numbers dipped some last year, but as long as Dantas actually steps on the floor and plays like 15 minutes or more on Friday, she'll return value.
WNBA DFS Lineup Picks: Guards
Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty) - @ IND - DK: $10,700, FD: $7,800
Ionescu has been killing the Fever. In the first game against them, she had 31 points on 11-for-20 shooting with three rebounds, seven assists and four steals. In the second game against the Fever, she had 23 points, seven rebounds and two assists.
Overall, Ionescu has scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games. She's on a tear and faces the worst defense in the W on Friday. This is an easy play.
Rhyne Howard (Atlanta Dream) - @ PHO - DK: $9,200, FD: $7,500
Howard has been the W's best rookie by a wide margin this season. She's had a few games where she struggled, but overall, she's involved in everything that the Dream do.
Last time she played Phoenix, she scored 12 points on 5-for-10 shooting with two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal. The scoring wasn't as high as it's been in other games. But the Mercury allow the third-most points per game in the league, so there's some clear upside on Friday night for Howard to put up some explosive numbers.
Ariel Atkins (Washington Mystics) - @ MIN - DK: $7,900, FD: $6,500
Atkins had one disastrous game last week, but she followed that up with a big showing against Chicago, with 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. She scored 20 points when she faced Minnesota earlier in the season and also added four rebounds and five assists. It was one of her best games of the season. And with the Lynx not really being in any better of a position heading into this game, I see no reason to think Atkins can't have another one of her best games of the season.
WNBA Betting Picks for 6/10/2022
Looking to make some WNBA bets? Let's look at some options for you.
Yesterday's Results: 1-1
New York Liberty Spread (-3.5)
After a seven-game losing streak, the Liberty have now won three of four, all with the team starting Crystal Dangerfield at PG and moving Ionescu to the two. Now, the team adds Marine Johannes, one of the most interesting players in the world, to the backcourt. Her lack of presence on DraftKings is why I didn't mention her above, but she should make an impact immediately. New York should be favored by more here.
Storm/Wings U 156.5
These teams can't seem to score against each other. They combined for 119 points in their last meeting and while the Storm were without Ezi Magbegor and Sue Bird, was that really enough to account for that score? Two good defenses here and two offenses that just have these moments where things don't go right. I'll ride the under.
