Coming off of a breakout season, Azura Stevens has piled up stats in limited playing time thus far and could provide plenty of value again Friday, especially if she continues to expand her minutes.
Breanna Stewart has exploded to new heights early in the 2021 season and is expected to provide value Tuesday despite drawing a tough matchup versus a Sun squad that has been stingy on the glass to date.
The Sparks struggled to keep Dallas' guards from getting to the rim in the season opener. This plays right into the strength of Jackie Young, who is averaging 13.5 shot attempts per game through the first two.
Sylvia Fowles opened the season strong with a double-double versus the Mercury and could have another strong effort on tap Tuesday against a shorthanded Liberty frontcourt.
After a strong showing last season, DeWanna Bonner opens 2021 as potentially one of the best high-salary plays on Opening Night in what should be a value-filled slate.
Natasha Howard could be a key piece in Sunday's contest against the Aces after averaging 14.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game over her last 11 appearances, though her rebounding totals could slightly suffer.
Riquna Williams should be in line for hefty minutes again Thursday against a Washington squad that struggles to defend the three-point line, an area Williams excels, notching a team-high 2.1 per game.
Cheyenne Parker turned in an efficient 17 points against the Dream the last time the two clubs met and could be in line for another big contest on the heels of two double-doubles in the last three games.
Courtney Vandersloot is seeing the floor exceptionally of late, averaging north of 11 assists per game over the last six. That trend could continue Sunday versus a Sparks squad prone to allowing a high volume.
Teaira McCowan posted her best game of the season the last time the Fever faced the Mercury and could have another big one on tap, especially if Candice Dupree is unavailable again.
Napheesa Collier has taken on a starring role for the Lynx in the absence of Sylvia Fowles and is in prime position Wednesday to take advantage of a Dallas defense that struggles to clear the glass.
Odyssey Sims returned to her 2019-20 form versus the Dream, posting 17 points, nine assists and seven boards over a season-high 26 minutes. She aims to carry that momentum into Sunday's clash with the Mercury.
With Britney Griner out of the bubble, frontcourt players on both sides of Wednesday's Mercury-Sun contest could see increases in production.
Arike Ogunbowale has taken on an even more vital role with Moriah Jefferson and Satou Sabally hurt, averaging 26.3 points, five assists and 3.7 boards per game. More of the same may be on the way Sunday.
Jordin Canada's turnover rate shouldn't b much of a factor against a Fever defense that barely turns over opponents, and her frequent trips to the free-throw line could pay off versus the hack-happy opponents.
Azura Steven's recent downturn in shooting could make her a bargain value Sunday if she can recapture her form against a struggling Atlanta team.
Courtney Vandersloot may be among the Sky's beneficiaries from a fantasy perspective Wednesday thanks to the Mercury's tendency to send the opposition to the charity stripe.
