Welcome to the Tuesday edition of WNBA DFS Lineup Advice, a fantasy basketball column dedicated to finding you the key players and value picks on today’s slate to build your lineups around.

We have 4 WNBA DFS games on the slate today starting at 7 pm ET. The good news about todays slate is that injuries shouldn’t be much of an issue. Alyssa Thomas had been upgraded to doubtful in the late game, but I don’t think she will play and wouldn’t have much interest in her even if she does. That said, let’s jump into todays slate, find some key players and value picks to build our lineups around, and go win some money!

7pm SEA @ NY

The Storm travel to NY to take on the Liberty in the first game of the night. I think the point spread for this game is a little low. Seattle should win this game by double digits. That said, there are still some good WNBA DFS options in this game.

KEY PLAYERS:

Breanna Stewart – I won’t have a ton of exposure to Stewart today. I like some of the other options on Seattle tonight. She still has some GPP appeal because of her high ceiling, but I’m not rushing to stick her in my lineups today.

Sue Bird –  I like her price on both sites today. Bird is a decent cash game option but I worry about her only seeing about 20 minutes today if this game gets out of hand.

Jewell Loyd – Her price is still a little high for me today. She isn’t safe enough for cash, and she won’t hit GPP value today. I will be fading her.

Tina Charles – Charles is one of my favorite key players on the slate today. She has all the upside as the other forwards on the slate, and is still under 8k on Fanduel. Her usage rate remains the highest in the league.

VALUE PICKS: Kia Vaughn (FD & DK)

8pm  CHI @ DAL

The Sky travel to Dallas to take on the Wings. The Sky have scored atleast 90 points in their last 4 games and are 6 and a half point favorites tonight. I expect Dallas to keep this game close as long as Cambage is able to take the court.

KEY PLAYERS:

Liz Cambage – She is probable tonight with an eye injury but I expect her to play. I love her in this matchup against Chicago and is one of my favorite key players on Fanduel today. I won’t have much exposure to her on DK where her price is a little high.

Skylar Diggins-Smith – Has had a few good games in a row.  I like her over Cambage on DK today, but her price is still a little high for me. There are a lot of good value options at guard today though, so I will be fading Skylar today.

Courtney Vandersloot – Has been playing a lot better recently. She has hit GPP value in 2 of her last 4 games but also has one of the lowest floors amongst all the elite guards on the slate. She is a little too risky for me today.

Allie Quigley – Quigley is another decent cash option that doesn’t offer much GPP value. I would rather save some salary and play Diamond DeShields today.

Stefanie Dolson – Dolson has been one of my favorite DFS players since returning from her injury. She lacks upside but is a good cash option and I expect her to get a few blocks today and rebound well.

VALUE PICKS:  Epiphanny Prince (FD)

8pm  IND @ MIN

You can watch this game live on Twitter. Minnesota are heavy favorites in this game and have won 7 games in a row. I don’t expect Indiana to put up much of a fight tonight.

KEY PLAYERS:

Maya Moore – One of my favorite plays on the slate tonight. Even in a blowout her minutes should be safe. Her price is up a little on DK but I’m willing to pay it. She has one of the safest floors on the slate and has shown some big upside lately.

Slyvia Fowles –  I like Fowles more than Stewart tonight. She is the most expensive player on both slates today. I will have some exposure to her in GPPs but I think there are better cash options on the slate.

Candice Dupree – Had a good game last time out. She makes a decent GPP option today, but she is a risky cash play in a tough matchup with blowout potential. If I do play her today it will be on DraftKings.

VALUE PICKS: Cecilia Zandalasini (DK)  Victoria Vivians (FD)

10:30 pm  CON @ LA

The late game features the Ogwumike Sister’s facing off for the 2nd time this season. Last time these two teams played Nneka had 19 points and 4 rebounds. Chiney had 18 points and 5 rebounds.

KEY PLAYERS: 

Candace Parker – I won’t have any exposure to Parker today. Most nights she is a risky cash option at best, and rarely pays off GPP value. Her price is too high on both sites today. Fade.

Nneka Ogwumike – She is my favorite Sparks player today, and I will try to fit her into a few lineups. On Fanduel I would rather pay up a little for Moore or Charles. On DraftKings I would rather save a little and go with Dolson or Dupree.

Chiney Ogwumike – I like Chiney a little more than her sister in this game, especially if Thomas misses again. Other than that, like I said with her sister, I’d rather pay up and save a little for some better options on the slate.

Chelsea Gray – She is a fade for me today. There are way better options on the slate, especially on DraftKings where you can pick up either guard from Seattle for under 9k.

VALUE PICKS:  Jantel Lavender (FD & DK) Alex Bentley (FD)
