WNBA DFS Lineup Advice : Friday June 22
Freedom, Friday, and fantasy sports – and what better way to celebrate is there than a full six game WNBA DFS slate for the fans? With every team playing today there should be plenty of action and fantasy points to go around. I expect the money line to be higher than usual for Cash and GPP tournaments. With that said lets take a look at the slate, try to find the best players to help you build your lineups around, and help you win some cash!

WNBA DFS – TOP GUARDS
Skylar Diggins-Smith (DAL) 8,000 (FD) 12,700 (DK) – Smith has struggled to hit GPP value lately after having two big games earlier in the month. She is a bit pricey for me tonight. I’ll pass.
Diana Taurasi (PHO) 7,400 (FD) 10,900 (DK) – My favorite guard on the slate, she has been on fire lately. I expect her to keep it up in what should be a high scoring affair.
DeWanna Bonner (PHO) 6,600 (FD) 10,000 (DK) – Another guard from Phoenix who can fill up the stat sheet. She is a safe cash play with a high floor, though she may not offer as much GPP upside as some of the other guards on the slate.
Possible pivots: Chelsea Gray, Jasmine Thomas
WNBA DFS – TOP FORWARDS
Elena Delle Donne (WAS) 8,200 (FD) 12,100 (DK) – Had a good game against Chicago Tuesday, I am expecting her to hit value when these two teams face off once again this evening.
Breanna Stewart (SEA) 8,500 (FD) 12,900 (DK) – One of the best forwards in the league night in and night out. With that said though, I am not sure I am willing to pay up for her tonight on a slate with so many other options.
Britney Griner (PHO) 8,700 (FD) 12,800 (DK) – Is averaging over 20 ppg and 3.75 blocks in her last 8 games. She had a solid game against Minnesota last time these two teams met. I think she has the highest GPP ceiling on the slate tonight.
Tina Charles (NY) 7,700 (FD) 12,000 (DK) – I like her price on Fanduel tonight in what should be a up pace game for NY against a vulnerable Las Vegas front court.
Possible pivots: Maya Moore, Natasha Howard, Natalie Achonwa, Chiney Ogwumike

WNBA DFS – VALUE GUARDS
Kristi Toliver (WAS) 5,100 (FD) 8,900 (DK) – Toliver has been up and down lately, but she does offer good GPP upside when she’s playing well. On DraftKings there are other options at her price range I prefer, but I will work her into a few of my Fanduel lineups tonight.
Monique Currie (WAS) 3,800 (FD) 4,700 (DK) – She usually plays about 20 minutes a game, if Chicago can keep the game close she should spend enough time on the floor to hit value
Possible Pivots: Alana Beard, Natasha Cloud
WNBA DFS – VALUE FORWARDS
JiSu Park (LV) 3,700 (FD) 5,000 (DK) – Played almost 30 minutes last game. Her time on the court has fluctuated a bit lately, but when she is on the court she has been making the most of it this June.
Kia Vaughn (NY) 3,700 (FD) 4,200 (DK) – Like Park, Vaughn’s minutes haven’t been as steady as we like but she has played over 20 minutes in three of NY’s last four games.
Possible Pivots: Nia Coffey, Morgan Tuck/Brionna Jones, Rebekkah Brunson
