WNBA DFS Lineup Picks: Forwards
Breanna Stewart (Seattle Storm) - @ DAL - DK: $11,800, FD: $9,000
Stewie against Dallas this season: 29.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. She came up big in a game where Seattle couldn't buy a bucket against the Wings. She came up big in a game that turned into a bit of a shootout. There's just no reason to think Stewart won't put up big numbers on Sunday against the Wings team considering she's already done it twice this season.
Candace Parker (Chicago Sky) - @ NY- DK: $10,300, FD: $8,200
Parker only had to play 27 minutes in the first meeting of these teams because Chicago won by 33. In that time, Parker had 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and three blocks, just completely filling up the stat sheet in the victory.
More recently, Parker has 12 or more points in three consecutive games, with some good rebound numbers in two of her last three appearances. She also has four games in a row with at least three assists.
Damiris Dantas (Minnesota Lynx) - vs IND - DK: $3,900, FD: $4,200
Dantas made her season debut last game and was immediately inserted into the starting five due to the Sylvia Fowles injury. Dantas was a little rusty, but she took 11 field goal attempts and seven three-point attempts in the loss. She only had one rebound and shouldn't be expected to produce like Fowles did or anything, but in a matchup against the W's worst defense, I'll go ahead and invest pretty heavily in Dantas because of her projected volume.
WNBA DFS Lineup Picks: Guards
Kelsey Mitchell (Indiana Fever) - @ MIN - DK: $9,600, FD: $7,100
Mitchell put up 26 points the last time she faced the Lynx, going 9-for-16 from the floor and 4-for-7 from three with four rebounds and three assists. She's scored 20 or more points in three of the last five games and continues to be the scoring engine for this Fever team. Minnesota allows the fourth-most points per game, and the third-most points per game from behind the arc. I'm expecting big things from Mitchell in this one.
Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury) - @ WAS - DK: $9,200, FD: $7,000
Taurasi was really struggling for a while, but she seems to have found something, with three games in a row with 35 or more fantasy points. She has at least 19 actual points in each of those games, including one game where she put up 32 points on 10-for-19 shooting. With Sophie Cunningham out, there's even less depth on this team than usual, forcing Taurasi to play 35 minutes per night now. Some good scoring upside here for one of the league's historically great players.
Tyasha Harris (Dallas Wings) - vs SEA - DK: $5,100, FD: $4,000
Marina Mabrey is currently out due to health and safety protocols. Harris is one of the players who could benefit from that, as she ended up starting the team's last game, which Mabrey also missed. Harris wasn't great, going 2-for-6 with four points and two rebounds, but she added six assists and two steals to help out her stat line. If she can just do a little more in terms of scoring, Harris will be a nice value play on Sunday's slate.

Unfortunately, I had a lot of work at my day job and wasn't able to dig into the betting data for today's slate of games. Sundays are tough for me since I work that day and the games usually start early.
