FanDuel daily WNBA fantasy picks: Friday, August 4

The weekend kicks off with five FanDuel WNBA contests on Friday night. Let’s take a look at some of the ladies who can help get you into the green on Friday night.

Diana Taurasi and the Mercury will head to the Mohegan Sun Arena to meet with Connecticut to kick off the night. Both teams have won their past two straight and will continue to jockey for position as the season heads towards the playoffs.

The Sky will head to Indiana to square off with the Fever. The Sky have cooled off a bit after wins over the Minnesota Lynx and Los Angeles Sparks, losing their last three straight. The Fever have also been having struggles of their own recently, with a loss in their last four games.

Breanna Stewart and the Storm will play the Wings for the second time in a week. Seattle will look to find some consistency as they head into the playoffs. Dallas needs every win that they can get in hopes of making the postseason.

The 4-21 Stars will host the visiting Mystics. Washington will be without Elena Delle Donne for the next few weeks and will need to hold things together until she returns. San Antonio’s season is virtually over and they already have their sights set on next season.

In the game of the night, Tina Charles and the Liberty will go head-to-head with Nneka Ogwumike, Candace Parker and the rest of the Sparks. New York needs every win that they can get at the moment in order to advance up in the standings. Los Angeles is still chasing Minnesota in the standings for the number one overall seed come playoff time.
