FanDuel daily WNBA fantasy picks: Friday, July 14
Here is everything you need to know to play FanDuel on Friday, July 14, in the WNBA.
Friday night kicks off with Elena Delle Donne and the Mystics traveling to meet Indiana at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse. Washington has been sliding south in the standings after losing their last three and will look to get back on track against an Indiana team that has been dealing with issues of their own.

Chicago will travel to Madison Square Garden to square off with the Liberty. Chicago has been playing very well as of late, including a recent win over the mighty Minnesota Lynx. New York has had an up and down season and currently sits at an even 8-8 record.
In the late game, MVP candidates Brittney Griner and Sylvia Fowles will showcase their skills against each other as the Lynx and Mercury will play for the second time this season, with Minnesota taking the first game.

Let’s get started with FanDuel WNBA line up tips
Guards
Epiphanny Prince – New York Liberty ($6,000): The asking price for Epiphanny Prince on Friday night is just too good to pass up. Obviously, Tina Charles is the leading offensive presence on the team but Prince is the clear second. Even though Chicago has been playing well the past few games, it won’t be long before they revert back to their old ways which may come as early as Friday night.
Courtney Vandersloot – Chicago Sky ($5,600): Courtney Vandersloot has taken full advantage of the extra playing time afforded to her as of late, even though it has come at the expense of Cappie Pondexter who has missed the last two games dealing with a concussion. During her absence, Vandersloot has averaged 19 points and 13 assists and can be credited for Chicago’s recent success. She should be considered a must play, especially if Pondexter is out again on Friday night.
Allie Quigley – Chicago Sky ($5,300): New York has been having issues defending the three all season. For that reason, sharpshooter Allie Quigley should be considered on Friday night. Quigley is shooting 45 percent from behind the arch and could be in line for a nice game if she gets it going from downtown.
Tamera Young – Chicago Sky ($4,300): We need to find a little Value Friday night, especially since there are some high-priced names up front. Tamera Young is another player who has gotten more involved since the absence of Cappie Pondexter. Chicago doesn’t have many efficient options off the bench and leans heavily on the starting unit. If Pondexter is out again, Young can be a nice addition to your lineup.
Briann January – Indiana Fever ($4,000): If Shenise Johnson is out with the knee injury that also kept her out of Indiana’s game against San Antonio, look to Briann January to up her production. In Johnson’s absence against the Stars, January played 31 minutes and scored 13 points. If you need to save some cap space on Friday night, January can put up some points if Johnson sits again.
***Other names to consider: Kristi Tolliver – Washington Mystics ($4,200), Renee Montgomery – Minnesota Lynx ($4,000)***
